Been thinking about this one lately, one of my favorite verses in the whole book, and a nice reminder to counter the negativity that I often catch myself slipping into in my thoughts.
KJV: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
NIV: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Thank you for that verse, john. God is dealing with me on what I have been reading and concentrating on lately. I believe I will have to step away from the computer/internet for awhile now. Thanks again.

Thank you for that verse, john . God is dealing with me on what I have been reading and concentrating on lately. I believe I will have to step away from the computer/internet for awhile now. Thanks again. I've been cutting WAY back on my screen time. I deleted my FB account last Summer, and I seldom go to MeWe, maybe once a week. I don't hit the big political sites, not even Daily Sheeple (though I do go there and click to help a friend).
If people start to talk about the Deep State and the big pile of manure we're looking at, I'm likely to respond with "I can't control that. But hey! Look! I have goats! And PUPPIES!!!!"
It's not that I don't care - I do, deeply - but there just comes a point where you find yourself crying every single day, and that's just not right.

I do FB with family, and a select few. Myself, I prefer the goats, and puppies, the usually slow quiet of my farm.

Below is the view I had of the doelings and wether (they're Nubians) during the rain yesterday. We were in the Micro Mini Barn.
We have puppies, too.

My Dad walked 12 miles on railroad tracks in hot Iowa summer of 1937. Squalling baby at home that could not drink anything but goat milk, Then, imagine 3 years later, entire family, goats and all, traveled to south Missouri when major highways were dirt. So, no, I don't have goats anymore but they are dear to me.
