Nice, Yorkie. Thanks for the link.

I think mine was 35 and good for 5 or 8 years. My eyes go back and forth. Right now they’re gone. I’ve never been able to see far off, but lately far off’s gotten real close. LOL

[JustAmy]

Perfect, Conor. Thank you.

It is not New Years until we see and/or hear Auld Lang Syne.

It is 9:00 o’clock here so you must be in 2009. Happy New Year!!!

I usually post this on Sundays, but it's appropriate now, too. God save our gallant Troops in the New Year!

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Cute card, Yorkie. Thanks.

[luvie]

That post is always appropriate! Love that hymn! Thanks, Conor!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I think I need to bookmark this so when things look really dismal, I can find something to brighten the day. :)

Thanks, Lonestar.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Conor. As we start the new year, we must pray for our military. I’m sure they are concerned what the new year and new administration has in store for them.

God Bless and Protect them.

Wow, I've missed a lot of posts since I left earlier this evening! Know this is the last day of this month (and year! Goodbye 2008) and Amy will be starting a brand new thread tomorrow for January, but I want to come back to this one first, where I left off and answer some pings I missed.

Thank each and every one of you for the fellowship and fun you brought today. I'll see you next year! Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!
