I do love my roses. I have four varieties that grow on the property. These wild roses Are the most prolific. I have literally thousands of blooms going into flower right now.
This is just one of the bushes I have. As you can see pieces of it are almost to the second floor. I will cut it down after it flowers this year. No worries it always comes back.

Morning Direction From Scripture 6-11-20

TETH

65 Do good to your servant
    according to your word, Lord.
66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
    for I trust your commands.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,
    but now I obey your word.
68 You are good, and what you do is good;
    teach me your decrees.
69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,
    I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,
    but I delight in your law.
71 It was good for me to be afflicted
    so that I might learn your decrees.
72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me
    than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Psalm 119:65-72

What kind of things make people callous?
