Clarke helping Clint with his first time on a playground in Ontario, NY  Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Plentiful Ponderings" In reflecting upon the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving and the plentiful portions of traditional, yummy foods that most of us will consume, I am equally reminded that our Lord is not a God of skimpy portions!  He loads blessing after blessing upon us, and not just once a year! A common concern when gathered together with friends and family during seasonal festivities is whether or not there will be enough provisions to go around, but never with the Lord!

This Rise & Shine sent from Ontario, NY - Pic of Chloe's 9th Bday! Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ by Pam Iannello (my late mother)  "Plan For Humility"  How many of you have your day, maybe even your whole week all planned out?  You've gone over the details of the day/days in your mind and organized your activities in a decent and proper order so that all can be accomplished, the things that you both desire and need to do.  Afterwards, you sigh a sigh of relief for having figured things out for yourself, and then you proceed to live out your schedule with confidence that all will be well.  At this point, if you were to sit down to read your Bible and you came across Proverbs 27:1, which I've included below, how do you think it would settle with you?  Would it change your thinking about your plans and activities?  If so, how?   "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring f...
