Devil Rays


David petting one of the rays in the tank.


A ray close up.


A picture of David and I. The camera decided to focus on the seats behind us. :)

My camera has to be serviced. :( I now cannot view pictures after I take them. I can only view them as thumbnails. That's okay because there's something else wrong with it (that is minor) that I have been holding off sending it in because I will be without my camera for at least a couple of months. It didn't much matter because most of my pics came out blurry. That was my own fault because I didn't change the ISO. Oh well...the next time.

I did have fun at the baseball game!! David and I were able to get tickets to go in to the ray holding tank area and pet the rays that they have. It's a new attraction at Tropicana Field so if anyone gets the opportunity to go take advantage of it. They only allow so many people per 10 minute slot. When you enter the stadium the table to get the tickets is right off to the left. We arrived there about 15 minutes before the game started (weather and traffic were horrible). I was expecting that the tickets would already be gone but they had a whole slew of them but then again they were playing the Jays and the crowds were light. It was a lot of fun! It doesn't cost you anything extra to go see them. They also sell food for $4 so you can feed them if you would like.

My allergies reeked havoc today. I was sneezing all day long while I was in the office. I didn't have the problems once I left. I'll see how I am tomorrow. My dad told me that I was allergic to work. :) I couldn't get anything done because I was sneezing the entire time I was sitting at my desk.

Something in Internet Exploder was keeping me from adding pictures to my posts. I installed Mozilla Firefox and the picture feature works perfectly. So I guess I'll start using Firefox to update my blog.

I think the critters have the right idea. One of them is curled up on the table next to my computer and the other one is curled up on a chair...both fast asleep. I think I am going to head to bed myself.

Love to all!

In Christ,

Jenn

P.S. I know I posted this on my post on 8/14/06 but the Lord showed it to me again tonight. Reminding me that this applies not only to my friends, family, enemies, and strangers but to Him as well. Because I love Him I will be patient, kind, not jealous, not arrogant, not boastful, forgiving, always praising Him, and trusting. This is the way He wants me to love everyone, even my enemies. This is an answer to prayer. I had been asking Him to show me how to love others the way He wants me to love them.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NASB

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things, Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Love the ray photos!! I also love that scripture. I am always quoting it to my kids so they can remember to speak kindly and lovingly to one another.

Sorry your allergies are giving you trouble. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Paula! I'm feeling much better today. I don't think I have sneezed once since getting here this morning.

this is such a hard scripture to live by... our pastor spent 3 months preaching verse by verse, sometimes word by word. Ugh! every week i got blasted!
