Free is very nice.  God is good!

Preaching on hell in this weather helps some folks feel like hell may be closer than they thought!

How hot is it down there?

[HappyChristian]

Here today it's only 79.  But the humidity has been really bad!  It's very hard to breathe sometimes and it's not fun feeling wet all day long.  Even in the AC!

How hot is it down there?

We've been around the 100 mark all week with high humidity. Be a kind one, eh, and send some of that cool Canadian air our way!

Our God still works miracles!

 

We stopped by the doctors office after my wife's physical therapy yesterday to see if they could push back her going back to work. The doctor said no, she must go back on 8-29. One of my wife's physical therapists took a stand and pressed her view that my wife should not be returning to work so soon. Eventually, at the end of the day yesterday, the doctor agreed to give my wife one more week off. That was good news!

 

Yet there was some surprising news to come. When my wife called the workman's comp lady and told her about the extension, how she was doing and told her when her first post-op appointment with the doctor is, the workman's comp lady told her to not only take that other week, but to also take another week and a day off!! My wife now doesn't have to go back to work any sooner than 9-16!!!

 

Everyone said it was impossible that my wife would get more than one week off. They all said the doctor would never approve it and workman's comp would be even worse to talk to. They seem to have not considered what God can do!

 

Our God is able to do abundantly more than we hope and pray for!

 

That's fabulous news!!  Our GOD is definitely able to do what man believes to be impossible!!!

Last week I was out to our local Value Village (second hand store).....by the way, I love these stores, so many useful items that can be re-purposed,  re-cycled and re-used!!  Anyway, I was in the electronics department where I found a Sony blue ray player for $24.99.  I wasn't a 100% sure it was working but decided to purchase it anyway because the tag didn't state no return on it, so I knew it could be returned if I needed too.  The price was fair but the best part was I had a 30% off coupon so that made the deal even better.  It didn't have the remote with it, however once home I hooked it up and manually pressed the buttons to test it out.  It worked like a charm, so I visited E-Bay and put in the Sony brand and model number to locate a remote for it.  I found a new remote for $13.50 which included free shipping.  The remote arrived today and I just finished setting everything up....it functions amazingly and I am happy to say for approximately $30.00 we have a great DVD player which can also play Blue Ray Disc's as well.

Love finding great deals! I used to find some great deals at yard sales but these days there are so many "professional" yardsalers that hit the sales early and quickly it makes it more difficult to find the really great deals, but there are still some good ones at hand.

[Jesuspaiditall4all]

For sure, I enjoy going to yard and garage sales too!!  So much better then throwing a lot of the stuff in the garbage, on another note though there are some items that people attempt to sell that should be in the garbage!

My son and daughter-in-law have been haunting the thrift store near them, as well as yard sales, finding bargains as they set up housekeeping in their new place. They've been able to find some real good deals.

Take Monday off....  

[HappyChristian]

I am, for sure!

[Salyan]

Me, too! Civic holiday up here.

[John81]

Come on Monday! (Did I REALLY say that??????) It's supposed to be a little cooler that day. Very tied of these 100 degree days and high humidity so bad that I start sweating just from involuntary eye blinks!  

[HappyChristian]

I'm thankful our temps have only been in the 90s (ugh!).  It certainly hasn't been as bad as it was earlier in the summer.  But it's supposed to be in the high 80s the next couple of days - better!
