Oh, I see. You need cable - it's faster, and more reliable.
To: Victoria Delsoul
When I had a roommate, we had a cable modem. But it's a little too expensive paying for it by myself. LOL!
To: Victoria Delsoul; JustAmy
Only 3 more fleece blankets to make and then we're done. Ugh. Happy Lord's Day Eve! I'm off to bed so I can be awake for church in the morning.
Blessings and much love...

See you soon, Spooky. Nighty night.

OK, I won't post too much music, lol.
To: Victoria Delsoul
You can still post it. And I'll listen to what I can. :-)
To: tuliptree76
K. I'll think about it, haha

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving Heavenly Father,
Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels,
the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts.
May Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.
In Thy Name We Pray,
Amen

Bring Us Home Again
He slowly came awake today
and he lumbered to his feet,
for it was just two hours
before that he faded off to sleep.
He donned the day's attire and
grabbed his M-16.
He headed off to breakfast to keep
him strong and lean.
As he walked down to the chow line
he kept a watchful eye.
He didn't want the enemy
to take him by surprise.
As the chaplin said a special prayer
on this very special day,
he kept thinking of his family
that is oh so far away.
He rubbed his left breast pocket
where he keeps a picture of his wife
and a letter from his daughter that
he reads most every night.
He fought back a single tear
as he stared out at the sand,
wishing he could be back home
with his family close at hand.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts
and then be on his way.
He's defending our great country
and has little time to play.
When he got out to the fence line,
his buddy by his side,
he exchanged a "Merry Christmas"
followed by a tired sigh.
He climbed upon the watchtower,
his mouth a tiny grin.
He said, "Merry Christmas to the world"
and "God, please, bring us home again".
~Bradley A. Peraino~
God bless our troops
Father, please bless and protect our military. Please be with them while they are far from home. Bless the families and give them the comfort of your love.
In Jesus Name, Amen.

Snow Song
~Sara Teasdale~
Fairy snow, fairy snow,
Blowing, blowing everywhere,
Would that I
Too, could fly
Lightly, lightly through the air.
Like a wee, crystal star
I should drift, I should blow
Near, more near,
To my dear
Where he comes through the snow.
I should fly to my love
Like a flake in the storm,
I should die,
I should die,
On his lips that are warm.

Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white.
Every twig is laden-
What a pretty sight!

What do snowmen eat for breakfast? Snowflakes.

Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
--Jim Rohn--
Other things are just food. But chocolate's chocolate.
