Well, I already said goodmorning to you all! So how about a salute!

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the VETERAN, who salutes the Flag,

who serves under the Flag,

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

Thank you Calpernia for honoring our Veterans and for reminding us all of who we owe for our freedoms.

Through prayer, finite man draws upon the power of the infinite God.

Good morning Mayor! That's a beautiful saying and so true! I think we saw the evidence of intercessory prayer yesterday in Florida.

Thanks for your post and for stopping in. Would you like a refill of coffee in your beautiful china cup?

Here's a wonderful poem that I found on the FReeper Foxhole thread, that I think this group will enjoy today. If you get a chance, fall in to the Foxhole and read today's wonderful thread about naval aviation hero Lt Cmdr "Butch" O'Hare and his mobster lawyer father. "Easy Eddie" O'Hare had this poem in his pocked when he was gunned down by Al Capone's hitmen. It's a remarkable story of very different father and son.

The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time.
For the clock may soon be still.

I'm having fun with blinkies today. :-)

Heh, heh. Anti-Jen here (the evil twin) sneaking in to post while Jen went to the kitchen and Amy is out... (Don't blame me - JustFrank talked me into doing it!)


A Wedding Story

You are at the wedding...

You are a total Diva...

The best dress, a perfect hairdo...

You fall in love with an invited guest...

You get secret looks the entire night...

On the dance floor, he's by your side constantly, & he dances like a god...

You are the couple of the evening...

The anticipated moment has arrived for all single women...

The bride is about to throw the bouquet...

You are first in line, in a strategic position...

Once there, you wait for the right moment...

You look at him sensually, and with your eyes you tell him...

If I catch the bouquet...I Will Marry You!

And then, the moment you've been waiting for...

The bride throws the bouquet...

He doesn't stop looking at you...

You jump like never before to catch the bouquet...

Your arms stretched up...

Your hands open...

And suddenly...

.

.

.

.

.

.

Oh nooooooooooo!
