Presiden Bush Memorial Speech...
Our Father and Our God, we praise You for Your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve. Yet we know all is not right with America. We deeply need a moral and spiritual renewal to help us meet the many problems we face. Convict us of sin. Help us to turn to You in repentance and faith. Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace. We pray today for our nation's leaders. Give them the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do it. You have said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord. This we pray in Your holy name, Amen.

In Observance of 9 -11's Tenth Anniversary...
I'm going to show a series of pictures, thoughts and prayers this week. I am doing this to help keep the true history alive. We need prayer for our country. Some would try to play down the attack, but the truth is that it did happen, a terrorist group did it and we are in a war because of it.
My thoughts are if you read an article, hear a radio program, see a tv program, or organization that isn't willing to print, show or tell the truth... they aren't worth wasting your time supporting, watching, listening to or reading. If they lie or glaze over one truth, they will many and that is not what Americans want. We want true history as it happened.

The Year Is Half Over...
I can't believe that I'm saying this already, "The year is half over!" How time flies. What a year... so much has happened this year... economic unrest, unemployment and natural disasters. We never know what is going to happen from day to day.
Now for the good news...
One thing I know for sure, "We serve a great God who holds the whole world in His hands and He loves us!" Plus... we are fortunate to live in the best country in the world. We are blessed!
I have a great family and I enjoy the beauty each day holds! I am blessed!!!
Have a great day!

The Old Barn
The old barn was worn
Looking rugged and gray.
The siding was broken.
With places decayed.
The roofing was bent
Looking Rusty and torn.
Holes were a plenty.
It looked forlorn.
It’s color all gone.
Leaving only a tint.
It’s only imagined.
What color it’s been.
Hidden secrets
Remain of days gone by.
Never revealing
Changing times and why.

He is Risen
He is Risen Indeed!
I love the song "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" by Charles Wesley.
I will share the first verse with you...
Christ, the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise you joys and triumps high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
April Showers Bring May Flowers...
"Sweet April showers do bring May flowers."
-Thomas Tusser (1557)
I think that we've all been waiting for Spring to arrive. We know that we need to have the rains before we can have the flowers. Time is marching on and in time more flowers will come. The wonderful thing is this... we can enjoy the beauty of the tulips, daffodils and crocus until the whole garden springs forth with bloom.
Happy April!
Be A Faithful Friend...
Be a faithful friend to those you know. Don't gossip or talk bad about them. Just a wonderful way to start and end this coming year.
2011 Resolutions...
Are you working on your 2011 resolutions? If you are consider checking out Dave Ramsey's article on "11 Weird Things To Do in 2011." There is just a lot of practical helps in his article such as setting a firm foundation, reading, taking a look at the Joneses and much more...

Thankful Liver Recipient...
The heart warming story of a young 13 yr. old thankful liver recipient. Just when you think that the world is completely falling apart you read uplifting stories like this.
One families grief and decision to share their son's organs has changed 5 lives. What a wonderful story to begin the new year with.
America is blessed with a wonderful medical system. If the leaders would just leave it alone.
New Health Insurance Premium Price Legislations...
Here's another bit of news that I ran across this morning... there are new health insurance premium price legislations going into effect. We are all going to be paying more. This is a sure way to kill the insurance businesses and our economy.
This is something that we certainly didn't know anything about.
Wonder what else the 111th Congress did to us? Hopefully, the 112th congress overturns this. Soon!
California Requires Residents To Use Mercury Light Bulbs...
What's up with this... California requires residents to use mercury light bulbs instead of incandescent light bulbs. The mercury light bulbs are dangerous and hazardous if they break. Maybe the government has already broke to many and it is effecting their thinking.
Who is going to pay for the medical bills from the mercury damage done to their bodies? Who is going to pay for the clean up in about ten or so years.? Who is going to pay for the eye damage from a low light source that effects seniors reading? Let's hope some laws are passed to repeal this mercury light bulb nonsense or at least that the rest of the country doesn't have to pay for their clean up and medical bills.
If California was really such a green state they wouldn't be requiring their residents to buy something so dangerous to people and the state. These bulbs can't even be made in the US because they are so hazardous with the mercury. What's up with this?
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
As we begin this New Year, we are reminded that it is God who created the heaven and earth. It is God who takes care of us and everything around us. Man does not have that power to master the land, sky and seas. Only God can do that.
I'm sharing this scripture because it is the very first verse in God's word & this is the first day of a New Year. The beginning of the time period of 2011!
