REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Spc. 4 Chad Edmundson, USA, KIA 27MAY2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

<><self ping - Recipe sounds interesting! Trying to think if I can easily convert it to diabetic. Sugar-free this and that. Maybe so....

[Mama_Bear]

Amy, you are doing a superb job with your graphics!! I love this one! Good job!

[SnarlinCubBear]

I bred one litter, and realized the same. Too much heartache with each one leaving. I totally understand.

[SnarlinCubBear]

Yes, I noticed that. Everyone on this thread has such talent! It’s so diverse!

[luvie]

Well, thank you! I can’t make frames as fancy as the others, but I love doing it.

You could, too, do it if I can! See how easily you picked
up on the font and color thing? :D

[yorkie]

That is so sweet. (I think I am the only one without talent here - but I’m a good person.) ***grin!***

[yorkie]

LJ, that is an hysterical graphic!! The cat in the front looks like she is playing the harmonica!

[yorkie]

I have heard you can substitute Splenda for sugar (equal amounts) in baking. Not sure if that is true or not - guess I need to do a little research.........

[gardengirl]

Thanks y’all!

New baby arrived 11:51 this am, just in time for lunch! It’s a boy! Mother and baby are fine. Carter Allen, 5# 6 oz.

Catch up more later, try to post pics later.

[yorkie]

GG, you must be SO relieved and greatful
For the miracle of little Carter Allen's entry into this world!

I am so pleased that all is well!
I can hardly wait to see some pictures!
Thank you for letting us know!

HAPPY BABY DAY!!!!!!!!!

From In Memoriam A.H.H.

CVI.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Thank you, SnarlinCubBear.

Have a Lovely Saturday.
