The pealed the bells, both loud and deep,
"God is not dead nor doth he sleep!
The wrong shall fail, the right revail,
With Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Wonderful News! Praise be to God.
A Joyous and Blessed Christmas to you and yours.
A Marine, in a jewelry store to buy an engagement ring, struck up a conversation with a woman who purchased the $3,000 ring for him to give his fiance.

I read that article last night. It really warms your heart, doesn't it? The best part is the generous person didn't want to be identified.
Back to the kitchen to slice and dice.
Would you share your breakfast casserole with me? I used to make a Chili Relleno one that everyone loves, but since cheese is not so expensive, I seldom make that one anymore. Thanks, Bev
WOW, what a message.
No white Christmas here on the north Oregon coast. Rain is predicted and tomorrow, I will need the BIG umbrella to keep my little ladies dry. The Care Center has a covered loading area, but our church does not.
Your OVAL OFFICE sign was a wonderful and thoughtful gift idea.
Good shooting today 'dead eye'!
You are welcome.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my ATRW FRiends!! You are all very special to me and I thank you for your support, your humor, your insights and your FRiendship all the year through.
I need to get started with food prep activities, although luckily I'm off duty for tomorrow's dinner. The park is having a turkey and ham dinner with all the trimmings and I signed us up immediately! :^D
So tonight it's special Christmas Eve meal followed by a 7PM candlelight service.
I'd like to wish you all the blessings of the Christmas season and good health in the New Year.
Enjoy your time with family and friends and may your families appreciate all the love you have put into your cooking and baking and making your homes festive.
My mother is not feel well so I am headed to her house to help with some preparations for tomorrow since she is being stubborn and won't just let me take over and have the dinner here.
Blessings for each and every one of you.
Extra Good Thinking, pb.
Enjoy your time together. Merry Christmas, Sweetie.
Thank you.
For those interested on our Public Radio Station, they are now playing Fetival of Carols, live from Cambridge, England. (Perhaps on yours as well.)
Merry Christmas!
Oh, thank you for the reminder!
My sympathies to your youngest. That is not fun at this time of year.
Praise the Lord! What a gift and a relief. I pray this Christmas you will find more and more of the joy which comes from knowing Him. God bless you!
It is very, very simple. I line a rectangular casserole dish with bread slices. Then I layer some chopped onion, more or less depending on your family. Cover with shredded cheese or cheese slices. I use shredded cheese so the egg will be able to permeate the bread. I beat about a dozen eggs with some milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over over the cheese, onions and bread. I've already done this much. It is covered with aluminum foil. Tomorrow morning, I'll just pop the stuff in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or so. It will cook while I fry the bacon.
We don't eat much breakfast at our house so we'll just have the bacon and eggs with orange juice as we open our stockings and before church.
After church I'll serve the stuffed mushrooms and we'll munch on snackies as we open our gifts to each other and await the turkey dinner.
Are you ready? Are you even here?
Meryy Christmas, lysie. Good graphic.
