One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he’d been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and
Said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”

The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Obama is no
Longer president and no longer resides here.”

The old man said, “Okay”, and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and Said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”

The Marine again told the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr.Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here.”

The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke To the very same U.S. Marine, saying “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the Man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been Here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the president and no longer resides here.
Don’t you understand?”

The old man looked at the Marine and said, “Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.”

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, “See you
tomorrow, Sir.”

What pretty glittery butterflies, Teenie!

Thank you!

I did! I had a great day. Some wonderful scriptures that touched my heart...........getting ready for Veteran’s Day - which always leads to a ‘kleenex’ day for me.

This week is the anniversary of my husband’s journey to the Golden Gates, eight years ago - after 28 years in the United States Marine Corps. Two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross........

Sigh. (Semper Fi, my dear - Semper Fi)

Ohhhhhhh! jaycee, wow! your Happy Caturday gray framed cat is too pretty for words! As is your Birthday Card to Dolly! Conor Sir Winston is such a cutiepie!

oldteen, another photobucket graphic I missed by not being here earlier! :(

I really like your Caturday posts, Amy! LuvW, I'm smiling at the sweet expression on the face of that adorable kitten all cuddled up with it's stuffed animal, and your soft greens matched that beautiful cat's green eyes perfectly, Meg - hope you AND jaycee both felt better today.

Wait! What? We're giving away prizes for Post #200 and #700 now?!!!! LOL! They were cute, too, but I thought EVERYBODY'S cats 'n dogs posts were pretty and/or cute and/or funny as can be and I had even made one to post yesterday - but the day got away from me, so heck, I'll post it tonight anyway!

Billie, thats such a good way to thank everyone. I've often thought of doing that but seems I get mixed up and am afraid I will leave someone out....LOL! Thank you so much for coming by and for your sweet compliments!

jaycee, I always 'want' to do that and have the best intentions, but .............

Actually, if I keep two windows open side by side, one of them being Amy's thread, and the other being notepad, I can scan the posts in one window and type the names to paste in the "address box" as I read them, while also typing responses. I wish that I didn't have so many days in between when I can't seem to 'get here'. :( Know you're already gone for the night as most of you are. Love your little polar bear cub "hugs".

I'm going to say goodnight and be back tomorrow to read the beautiful Sunday posts.

You are very welcome!

Veterans Day is not the celebration it was when I was young :(. Most only know it's a day off for them. Very sad!

Two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross

Cherish those forever! You must be very proud! My Marine isn't doing well in the health department. Breaks my heart. Semper Fi to you dear yorkie, Semper Fi!

Aim High
November 8, 2010

When my daughter and her family were in town for a visit, I had a chance to take my son and two sons-in-law out for a “guy” outing.

We decided that while the ladies were shopping, we would go to a firing range and practice shooting. We rented two pistols and took aim at our targets. While shooting, all four of us discovered that on one of the firearms the sight was set too low. If we aimed using that sight, we hit the bottom of the target. We had to aim high in order to hit anywhere near the bull’s-eye.

Isn’t life a lot like that? If we set our sights too low, we really don’t accomplish all that we can. Sometimes we have to aim high in order to reach a desired goal.

What should be our aim in life? How high should we point our ambitions? Well, since Scripture is our true guide, we will shoot for nothing but spiritual maturity. In fact, in Paul’s farewell to the people of Corinth, he said, “Aim for perfection” (2 Cor. 13:11 NIV). And we also have the high aim of these words from the lips of Jesus, “You shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48).

Perfection is a lofty target, and we won’t attain it in this life. But if we want to honor God and get close to that high goal, we need to aim high.

O to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear. —Chisholm

Conversion is the miracle of a moment; maturing takes a lifetime.

Read: Hebrews 5:12–6:3

Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. —2 Corinthians 13:11
Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5

Good morning on Monday! I think that every Sunday you post your prettiest ever! And then the next Sunday it’s the prettiest all over again! I LOVE this - the church steeple, the red leaves, the verse, and the whole composition!

Anybody want to join me for lunch today?
We are going to meet at Woolworth's
And I'm buyin'!
(Of course, we'll have to go back
To the late 1950's.


I am going to have
the triple decker ham and cheese sandwich,
A King sized Cocoa Cola
And for dessert,
I'm going to splurge on a banana split!

Grand total (for mine) - 95 cents!
