Goodnight, Kitty Mittens.
Hope your dreams are full of WONDERFUL memories!
Glad you liked the song - I love it.
I just wish more music today, was like it was in the 50's and 60's.
At least you could understand it, and it had rhythm.
Today, it's stuff like "Pants on The Ground!
Guess I'm just too old to 'relate!

Longing For Spring
Nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives. —Ecclesiastes 3:12
It’s been a long, cold winter, and I am eager for warm weather. I’m tired of seeing bare trees and lifeless brown leaves covering the ground. I long to see wildflowers poke through the dead leaves and to watch the woods turn green once more.
Yet even as I anticipate my favorite season, I hear my mother’s voice saying, “Don’t wish your life away.”
If you’re like me, you sometimes hear yourself saying, “When such and such happens, then I will . . . or, If only so and so would do this, then I would do that . . . or, I would be happy if . . . or, I will be satisfied when . . .”
In longing for some future good, we forget that every day—regardless of the weather or our circumstances—is a gift from God to be used for His glory.
According to author Ron Ash, “We are where we need to be and learning what we need to learn. Stay the course because the things we experience today will lead us to where He needs us to be tomorrow.”
In every season, there is a reason to rejoice and an opportunity to do good (Eccl. 3:12). The challenge for each of us every day is to find something to rejoice about and some good to do—and then to do both.
Just as the winter turns to spring,
Our lives have changing seasons too;
So when a gloomy forecast comes,
Remember—God has plans for you. —Sper
Every season brings a reason to rejoice.

To: JustAmy
Things are going good, better this week than last. Running for governor is not an easy task and our opposition is attacking viciously. We are turning the corner on things now and are pounding away on the issues.
Carls website is http://Paladinoforthepeople.com
We are traveling the state meeting with TEA Party groups, 9-12ers, Patriot groups and everyone in between.
This is a historic time in this state and we are right behind California in debt and dysfunctional government. The state budget is 3 weeks late, 60 billion in debt and the legislators are once again home before passing a budget.

Thank you for taking the time daily to start us all out on the right in God's Word.
Romans 8:28 is so true!
" and we know that All things work together for good to them that love God, and are called according to His purpose"...
We must always remind ourselves of that during our bad times.

"Wear Red" Friday
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
From an email on June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.

Happy Friday, Conor.
Thank you for bringing our favorite patriots here again today.
I really miss our former president and the two former first ladies.
It will be fun watching Sarah in the coming years.
Wishing you a delightful Red Friday.
