   Late work day....
"We must be humble and conscientious. The honor and the glory of all that is good goes to God."
~ Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Ensign, May 2000, 75

1 Chronicles 16:8-36
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

Equus: Well, for some reason I'm working the afternoon-evening shift today, so I have plenty of time this morning to do stuff. Since I won't have much this evening, since I get off work at 10 pm....x.x And just a note, I saw an Asian boy the other day--a young teenager--but with his hair over half his face, kinda like Vahn from Vision of Escaflowne. It looked really good on this kid. I thought, "Wow, he's like an anime character--and it works!"

Xihuitl: Anyway...We got the scanner hooked up, so we'll show you little Emeraulde, finally. Equus sketched him last week, but the scanner wasn't hooked up, so she didn't get the picture uploaded.



Equus: There he is! Oh, and Kurama-clone agreed to trail Kyo-clone and Kakashi-clone for us today.

Xihuitl: He'd rather just ask them, but we've tried that already. They just get shifty-eyed and make poor excuses.

Equus: On a more serious note, please visit Alex's site today. His post is in honor of the Hurricane Katrina victims.

God bless us all. He and Jesus Christ love us.

Equus: Oh, hi, Emeraulde. Hi, Haru-clone. What's up?

Emeraulde: *stamps a hoof* Are we going soon?

Equus: *smacks forehead* That's right. We're going blueberry-picking, and then we're having a picnic. So we'll see you all later.

Haru-clone: Here are your pocket hugs. Have a nice day.

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you all, and want and will help you come home to Them. Follow Their Holy Spirit to be part of Their people. Love and hugs.

To quote Skyelark, may God give you a BIG SPIRITUAL HUG!

Fact of the day: Plants are autotrophs, which literally means "self-feeders". They "synthesize their own organic molecules from simple raw materials. They make their own food. Animals, on the other hand, are heterotrophs ("other-feeders") who "obtain energy from foods". Plants make it up for themselves. Animals just take it from the plants (even via other animals).
