   Ah, post-date. ^_^
Psalm 76: 1-2, 8-9
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
[...]
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

Psalm 75: 1
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

Psalm 77: 1
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

Psalm 78: 1, 3-7
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
[...]
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Xihuitl: (enters the kitchen, where Equus is helping Kurama #3 make dinner) Equus, did you know that your boyfriend is back from his date? He's in the barn eating a chicken.

Equus: One of our chickens? Wait, we don't have chickens. Where did he get a chicken? It is cooked, I hope.

Xihuitl: Yes, it is. I'm not sure. (sniffing at Kurama #3's salad) He's kinda banged up, though.

Equus: O.O Sano! (rushes out to the barn)

Kurama #3: The salad isn't ready yet, Miss Xihuitl. Did you say Sanosuke was hurt?

Xihuitl: Yeah. He doesn't know I saw him. ^^ This should be interesting.

(in the barn)

Sano: (in a corner eating his second chicken) Huh? (pauses to look up and sees a blue and purple streak)

Equus: Sano!

Sano: o.o

Equus: (stops just in front of him, kneeling, and starts finding and checking every little "scratch") Are you hurt? What happened? Where's the first aid kit?

Sano: (saving the chickens) I'm fine. Really. It's just a scratch.

Equus: What happened?

Sano: ^^; We...well, we went to Tethe’alla, and there was a tournament. And I entered. And it's just a scratch. (tries to hide from Equus's fussing)

Equus: Where is that first aid kit? (grabs Sano's wrist, since he's still holding a chicken, and drags him back to the house)

(Haru #8 and Emeraulde pause to let them through the door)

Haru #8: What just happened?

Kyo-clone: (lounging on a haybale in the loft) That idiot Sano got himself hurt in a tournament. >.> He's so weak.

Kakashi #8: I've heard he's one of the strongest fighters, for not being a ninja.

K-c: He lost and got hurt.

Xihuitl: (shows up) That's enough. It's dinnertime, so unless you want to miss out on spaghetti, meat sauce, and salad, you'll be nice to everyone when you come in. Besides, K-c, Equus does love Sano, and he's not an idiot. He just sometimes acts like it. Even the best of us do. Including you, much as we love you.

K-C: >.> Fine.

Xihuitl: Here are your pocket hugs for the day. Take care, God be with you, and we love you!

Fact of the day: Horses have a much broader range of vision, though they can't see something under their nose or behind their head.

"For a few moments, may we set aside the catalogs of Christmas, with their gifts of exotic description. Let's even turn from the flowers for Mother, the special tie for Father, the cute doll, the train that whistles, the long-awaited bicycle—even the books and videos—and direct our thoughts to God-given gifts that endure. From a long list I will cite just four:
1. The gift of birth
2. The gift of peace
3. The gift of love
4. The gift of life eternal"
~ President Thomas S. Monson, "Treasured Gifts", Liahona and Ensign, Dec. 2006, 2–7

"Jesus is the great Mediator. Through omnipotent and omniscient, all-powerful and all-knowing, He is our friend.
[...]
How we treat our family members, our neighbors, business associates, and all we meet will reveal if we have taken His name upon us and do always remember Him."
~ Elder Robert D. Hales, Ensign, Nov. 1997, 25
