LOVELY & touching posts from you all for this past Father’s Day. I was around earlier in day & poked around the couple (3 I visited) alternate sites for FR.
Then had a jazz outing, dinner & movie with friend. Came home exhausted & just downloaded my pix & slept.
Nice to see things up & running again. We take for granted the work, effort it takes to keep a site like this running. I read at one of the internet tracking sites FR has 1.7 million visitors a month & 17 million posts a month. Those are incredible numbers.
Well I hope all dads had a good day & all of us either were able to spend time with dads or remember them fondly if they have passed this life.
Hope the week ahead is great for you all..

GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMYS PLACE!
The Soldiers Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.
6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

An Imaginary Threat June 21, 2010
Last spring the window to one of the rooms in our house was repeatedly attacked by a robin. The bird would perch at the base of the window, ruffle its feathers, chirp loudly, and then fly headfirst into the glass.
I did some research and learned that robins are territorial. While nesting, they drive out any competing robins. This bird apparently saw its reflection in our window and thought it was another robin. The threat was not real; it was only an illusion.
In the Old Testament, we see an instance when Jacob imagined a threat that wasnt really there. Years earlier, Jacob had stolen his brother Esaus blessing by their father. Now, after many years of separation, they were going to meet again. Jacob thought Esau would harm him, so he sent gifts ahead as a peace offering of sorts. Then, when he saw Esau approaching with 400 men, Jacob panicked. Yet what Jacob thought was an attack force turned out to be a welcoming committee. Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept (Gen. 33:4).
In interpersonal relationships, we sometimes misinterpret a situation. We must ask the Lord for discernment so we dont miss a friendship because of an imaginary threat.
I went outside to find a friend
But could not find one there;
I went outside to be a friend,
And friends were everywhere! Payne
Dont be afraid of a presumed enemy, but trust in the Lord to make a new friend.
Read: Genesis 33:1-4

Hi Dolly! I always look forward to hearing from you!
I agree that we do take F.R. for granted sometimes. When we don’t have it for a few hours, we go crazy. I truly thank those who do provide ‘a place for us’ to get together and chat or have fun. Its a wonderful place.
Have a great day, ((((Dolly))))!!!
