** Looking forward to this week **

More Morning Walks with Gal Pal Margaret & Bentley!!

Even though it's slow going it's still steps that end up as a couple of miles. And before the heat of the day. I have a race coming up soon so getting a few miles of a morning is better than No Miles.

** From the camera **

[sigh!!] and yet another stray[?] has found us....the hubby calls him GrayBoy. He's not friendly as of yet, but thinking eventually he'll come around. Due to his size and age, I've told the hubby he can stay only outdoors. I already have SIX CATS IN MY HOUSE and just can't do anymore. I don't think the indoor boys would appreciate it either...

** On my prayer list **

So Many, mainly our Country.

** Devotional **

Lord, help me to recognize and live by my limitations. 

I don't want to be swept along by busyness just because the world I live in is so frantic.

Instead, help me to 'Order' my life according to your priorities.
