Yes I’m fine, just tired. I have never seen snow bad in my life. I had all my clothes because I was returning from Tennessee. It was scary at times especially when you couldn’t see the front of the car.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpl. Xhacob Latorre, USMC, DOW Afghanistan 8DEC2009

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

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



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, amid these who heeded 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!

Amen to that Meg.... I just asked everyone to Pray for my safe return and here I am.

Rus, I am thanking God, right now, for holding you safely in His arms during what must have been a harrowing experience!

Over 50 hunters were stranded in Flagstaff, AZ, all week from a blizzard that dropped three feet of snow Monday, and as of last night, 27 had been rescued. These storms can come in with a blink of an eye.

The Soldier



Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Dixie, fry bread is made by the Native Americans, and sold at fairs, and high traffice areas in Arizona.

It is wonderful, especially when the hot, fresh bread is covered with refried beans, seasoned ground beef, lettuce, cheese and tomato and salsa.

Never fear, Typo King is here!
I shall insert typos into most of your posts, from just over your shoulder, so that you feel better about missing a ping.
(Blame the typos!)

Thanks, me too. Never want to go through it again. I hear about those hunters, so sad. Storms can come that quickly, that I know for sure now.

[pollywog]

Good Morning Mayor. Thank God for forgiveness and grace.

Glad you are okay now!
