Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

It is yet another tid lovely 'Indian Summer' morning; Fall is very definitely on route; as felt by the bit crisp temperatures in the mornings and during the night.

We ended up watching two movies last night (from our cozy and warm bed); one was 'The Bucanneer', and the later one, was 'Solomon and Sheba'. Yul Brynner (was a wonderful actor) starred in both films; and he looked quite different when he had a full head of hair! But then, that goes for any of us! LOL!

The first movie, 'The Bucanneer' was about a Caribbean pirate (joined the United States in defending New Orleans, Louisianna, from the British) who was smitten by a beautiful woman; and he was influenced to become 'honourable' as he belonged to no country; as the seas had been his only home. He believed in the American Constitution; and volunteered himself in the fight to represent the United States. Thus, when Yul gave his word, he kept it (even when some others (the 'elite') he made a pact with, did not honour their word). General Andrew Jackson (Charleton Heston) kept his word with the pirate, to give him and his men a full pardon, once they supplied the much needed ammunition (gun powder and muskets)and men to defeat the British Red Coats. What I appreciated, was a man of his word and integrity; and eventhough his profession was that of a pirate, he had shining qualities that put some of the 'elite' to shame.

The second movie (which ended at 2:00 am!), 'Solomon and Sheba', was excellent; and at the end of the day, Sheba changed her FAITH to Him. The Israelites defeated the Egyptians by their blinding and glaring shields, as they stood still on the hilltops. 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light'.

Tidbit - Keep your focus on Him; as He always Prevails.

Bittid - When you pray, ask for an 'understanding heart'. I love the above photo image of, 'Seek and Ye Shall Find'.

God Bless.
