Justice Served!!

You know... you hear all kinds of stories these days about miscarriages of justice and failures in our judicial system. However, I just want to say thank you to our local judges and jurors who serve with passion and conviction for doing the right things to protect our society.

Well done!

Anyone wanting to buy a designer wedding dress??

If you might be interested in buying a designer wedding dress, we have one for sale. My precious daughter bought it for her wedding last March and then fell in love with another dress. So... we have this one that has never been worn. If you're interested leave me a comment. :)

Say a prayer for me today...

Got a tough day today and could use your prayers!

Thanks!!

:)

Blessings of the Sun

You know the old saying... "You learn something new every day..."

Well today, I learned that there is a rare occurrence celebrated by Jews throughout the world. Once every 28 years, the Sun is in the exact position it was when it was created. The celebration is called Birkat Hachama.

The Los Angeles Times reports,

"On the fourth day of creation -- a Wednesday -- God made the sun, the moon and the stars. Today, precisely 5,769 years later, according to Jewish tradition, Jews in Los Angeles and around the world will mark the occasion by reciting a rare outdoor blessing."

For the full article, see:

So if you get a chance, take a look at the sun by 12:55 pm and say a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings of the Sun. Our world would not exist without the power of the Sun.

The actual blessing is: "Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the Universe who makes the works of Creation."

Have a great day!! :)

Pretty Flowers...

Well, after the crazy winds we had recently, all the Carolina Jasmine blossoms blew away. Now I just have a pretty green vine. I'm so glad I got a photo of it while it was still so fresh and pretty! :)
