Good evening, Victoria.

Hope all is well with you.

I agree ..... we need to forget political correctness and fight the Islamic terrorist like the animals they are. How many more innocent people will we watch be brutally murdered?

Now they are threatening to kill the Navy Seal that they captured. They said the killing will be filmed. Animals!!! No animals are better than this group of savage beasts.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You know, I'd just bomb them all, since they believe they are justified by the Koran to attack and kill the nonbelievers.

[JustAmy]

You are probably right.

I get so tired of the liberals complaining about how we are treating the prisoners.

This BS makes me sick.

[Victoria Delsoul]

It's sickening, indeed. We're fighting the terrorists, the liberal-Islamic-sympathizer media, the rest of the world, and the Rats.

Amy's Place joins other Freepers in holding the British people in our thoughts and prayers.

Absolutely Amy!

[Alberta's Child]

Thanks for the ping, Victoria. What a day.

You said it's Chocolate Day?

Chocolate For Dinner

I know you won’t like it, but what can I say?
I just felt like having some Chocolate today!
I thought about dinner, and what I have got,
Looked into my pantry. I found "Shocolotte!"*

It didn’t need boiling; did not have to thaw,
Just open the package, glom onto a chaw!
Now that’s a good dinner! No side dish or main,
Only one big decision -- either with nuts, or plain?

* -- (That's the way the French People say it, don'tcha know?)

LOL

I told someone that you've written poems on every subject.

I even marked this one to post today, but somehow the day has slipped by. :)

Did you also write one about either macaroni or a Strawberry Sundae? I could probably find a graphic to go with either one. If you can write it, I can find a graphic.

[NicknamedBob]

"Did you also write one about either macaroni..."

Well, let's just say you have FReepmail!

[tuliptree76]

Hi everyone. I'm back in my apartment. And I'm tired. LOL!

[DollyCali]

Hi hon. just getting ready to call it a night. Glad you are home safely.. so sweet to sleep in your own bed. see you tomorrow

[JustAmy]

Macaroni

There was this Yankee Doodle, who had a special hat,
By donning plumage he could eat! Now can you fancy that?
Or was it that he decorated it for it was rather plain?
I can’t see how he’d otherwise have anything to gain.

He put a feather in it, and called it macaroni.
That makes no sense to call a hat, perhaps he meant his pony?
That can’t be it, of course, it’s from a story line,
About a girl who had a horse, a girl named Caroline.

The horse was white ... no wait a bit, her house was all in White,
And everywhere she went her pony kept her in his sight!
Or was that Mary, who can tell? This tale is not so neat,
I think because of hunger pangs. So tell me, can we eat?

:) .... I didn't promise a professional version. Happy Macaroni Day!

[tuliptree76]

Good night, Dolly. Pleasant dreams.

[JustAmy]

Glad you are home safe, Tulip.

Pleasant dreams. See you tomorrow.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks, Amy. Good night.

[NicknamedBob]

With two of us doing fast work, we average out as doing...

Um, wait a bit, .... doing the math...

[JustAmy]

LOL

I tried to write 'macaroni' on the feather but it didn't look like I wanted it to. Guess I should have put it on her hat.

Thanks, NnB. Ya did good.

[NicknamedBob]

Good Night, Ladies!

[JustAmy]

Good night, NnB.

Pleasant dreams. See you tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Be A Kid Day!

Look At The Birds

Read:
Matthew 6:25-34

Look at the birds of the air . . . . Are you not of more value than they? —Matthew 6:26

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 4-6

When you shift your mind into neutral and just let it idle, where do your thoughts go? Do you worry about money? We are to be careful with money, but Jesus taught that we are not to be full of care about it. If you have put your faith in the Lord, you don't have to worry about life's necessities. God Himself has assumed responsibility for your food and clothing—and all your needs.

When Jesus spoke of our need for food, He pointed to the birds, and said, "They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26). That doesn't mean we get what we need by doing nothing. Birds must scratch and search for food. The point is, they don't worry about it.

Jesus instructed us to center our lives on God's kingdom. Then clothing, food, and drink will be ours as well. Look at it this way: Whether or not you live only for money, you'll ultimately leave it or it will leave you. But if you focus your life on God and doing His will, all these other things will be provided.

Does your concern for making money and keeping it overshadow your concern for doing God's will? If so, stop and look at the birds. —Haddon Robinson

Children of the heavenly Father
Safely in His bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
Such a refuge e'er was given. —Berg

Poverty of purpose is far worse than poverty of purse.
