Scripture of the Week:"Rule over ... every living creature that moves on the ground" Genesis 1:28**
Saturday was hair cutting day for Katrin. Mrs. Jim is learning pretty good using on-line videos and the video that came with her clipper set (andis).
It all came out good, no nicks, cuts, or scraps. And Katrin didn't bite her either.Cartoon: (

Awards:
I received this award from my friend Bob of The Diary Of An English Gardener and so I am now going to pass it on to a few other brilliant blog owners I love to visit.
I'm not to much into awards but they are nice to get and really do make you feel good about your blogging. Even if everything said about you might not be completely true.
The rules for this award are:
* The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
* Link to the person you received your award from. * Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
* Put links to those blogs on yours.
* Leave a message on the blogs of the people you have nominated.
I`m nominating the following people, who have great (brilliant--English here) blogs with a bit of flattery:
Rachel: The very first reader that I know about. Rachel left the first comment on my blog, I really appreciated that comment. I like best Rachel's Sunday morning church sign posts which I try to imitate every once in a while. Mrs. Jim and I met Rachel at Blogstock '08 this summer.
Cliff Morrow: He was the second that I know of to read my blog. At least he also left the second comment. Cliff and friend, Ralph, were the organizers of the Blogstock '08 we attended this summer. It was great, thirteen of us bloggers and our families and friends all go together in Cliff's home in the Nebraska cornfields.
Doug: He stimulates my thinking every day with a word which often I am not familiar with. We as readers are encouraged to write a clever note in a comment about this word or the definitions he used. I copied this feature to some extent with my current Word of the Day. His weekend posts are literary in nature and have some very interesting reading. Besides all that he has a nice beagle dog like I do.
Janell: A blogging friend who is also a hard working lady holding down a full-time job. She has horses and just recently went on a several day trail ride. I was fortunate to have met Janell at Blogstock '08.
Felisol: She is my blogging friend from Norway. Felisol writes a very nice journal entry about once or twice a month and participates in Ruby Red Tuesday posts (as do Janell and myself). Her posts are very educational as well as interesting. Beside that, she and hubby, Gunnar, have volunteered to drive Mrs. Jim and me all over Norway when we decide to travel there.
Terry: Terry remembers the birthdays and anniversary of everyone she knows who blogs as well as her family members. She is very kind to Adi, Amber, and Katrin as well. Terry helps immensely with her parents-in law as well. Terry lives in Canada.
Lori: I love to read Lori's blog. She is so full of ambition and does so many different things, work, church, family, neighbors, and on and on. I would be tired by noon to be on her schedule. Lori didn't slow down much even when she has been on some very powerful medicine.
Putz: Mr. Putz doesn't comment very often on this blog but is a regular reader. He is also a regular reader over at my Ask Dr. Jim (blog). He is very faithful and writes a comment on almost every entry I write there.
I have quite a few other loyal readers on my JIM'S LITTLE PHOTO PLACE blog but since this award was made on this blog I will make the award to readers of this one.
That was hard, cutting off at seven. One might not carry through with this so I did eight names. I hope Bob doesn't care.
Be sure to check these bloggers out, just click on the names to get to their blogs.
Every one on my 'Blogs I Read' list are deserving. If you guys get hard up for seven, just come on over and pick one of the ones I left behind.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26 (NIV)

Stairway Forbidden
Who you say, would dare?
Would dare put up that wall?
Just a simple stair,
access denied seems unfair.
A child small you say ,
no access seems alright.
And come whatever may,
little one, no way!
No mere child I cry!
This small wee one I love,
oh dear pet of my,
sweet doggie safe nearby.

This cute little poodle is named Katrine. She belongs to a friend of ours.
[large picture] [super sized]
Katrine meets Adi for the first time. Adi appears to not be very interested in making a new friend.
We believe that this poodle may be needing a new home. At the present time she is staying with us although she belongs to our friend. Circumstances may be developing that lead to her being available for adoption.
(Are you God's child? Do you know he will adopt you as his child?) **

It seems that both dogs are keeping their distance. About five and half feet here to be more specific.

One thing of concern is that Katrine insists on barking at Adi. Mostly at a distance.
Here is how their first meeting went:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ibP2TEW7Q (at Jim1 YouTube)Adi will have to get to appreciate Katrine if they ever are to live together as sisters should.
Thank goodness God will adopt any of who ask.
**Romans 8:22-24 (NIV link):
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
Jesus the Way to the Father (John 14:5-14) (NIV link)
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
