Happy Electricity Day to all at Amy's Place!

This ad drew my attention and tickled my sensitive fancy when I read the warning that the Christmas lights could only be used in homes with electricity!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duty.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

My home town is where Edison debuted the lightbulb.
