The telltale sign is when he starts drooling. ;-)
Thank you dearest. Hey, take a look at our fireplace mantle in our new home in North Carolina. We can't help but always think of you.

That which . . . our hands have handled, . . . we declare to you. —1 John 1:1,3
Mythology is filled with legends of ancient gods who descended from heaven and took human form, but no one ever heard or saw them, and no one ever touched them. These were dreams born of human desire for God and the hope that someday He would draw near. The incarnation of Jesus—God who came in the flesh—is how those dreams came true.
Author Dorothy Sayers put it this way: “[God] can exact nothing from man that He has not exacted from Himself. He has Himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair, and death. When He was a man, He played the man. He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile.”
The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the irrefutable proof that God will do anything to draw near to us.
Augustine said, “[God] gave Himself for a time to be handled by the hands of men.” And we have the written record of John, a man who actually did touch Him. We can trust his account—and we can trust that God wants to be near to you and me.
Absolutely tender! Absolutely true!
Understanding all things; understanding you;
Infinitely loving, good and kind and near—
That is Christ our Savior. What have we to fear? —Anon.
Love was when God became a man. —Walvoord
It could be an empty candy dish???
Usually a flag given to the family at a veteran's funeral is cased in this way.
cool FOG. I am still feeling like SOS. I may take another nap.

Hi miss Feather.
The word for the day is:
empty
translation:
empty
usage:
Daddy, I need more milk!
smooch
That's good she likes milk!
What PE says is true. Most often it is a way to display a flag given to the family of a veteran at the veterans funeral. But sometimes it is just an easy way to display our flag that has special meaning.
On our mantle in the picture we are displaying the flag as given to me from the sailors of the USS Tarawa. They flew a flag for me from the ship as a way to thank me for supporting them while they were fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom. You can see the presentation on my FR homepage. ;-)
The flags given to the next of kin at a funeral are huge and admittedly difficult to display. How do you display a huge flag without taking up lots of wall space or buying a flagpole for the yard, and what if you don't want it to get dirty? You fold it in the traditional manner which makes it end up in a triangle and then put it in a box. :-)
Hope that helps.
