White Christmas, Bing Crosby sings to our Troops Link

[GailA]

I just thought that song fit the GRINCH liberals to a T. It is one of those funny songs that tells the truth.

Good Morning

Thank you, Gail, for the beautiful snow scene and Bing
singing White Christmas
May God watch over those who are serving our country.
Wishing you a blessed Sunday.

Newgrange
December 19, 2010

Newgrange is a 5,000-year-old burial passage tomb in Ireland. Built by the members of a farming community in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, this magnificent structure covers more than an acre of land. It was a place where people went to struggle with the issue of death. It is best known for the beam of sunlight that moves through the chamber for 17 minutes each day from December 19 to 23 during the winter solstice, the shortest days of the year. Some say it serves as a powerful symbol of the victory of life over death.

Ever since death entered the human experience in Genesis 3, it has been life’s one great inevitability, and many people’s chief fear. It need not be so, however. The apostle Paul wrote, “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:17).

From that moment in the Garden of Eden with the sin of our first parents, sin and death reigned. Yet we need not fear death or its consequences. Because of Christ, we can have confident hope—His victory of life over death has given us eternal life.

Have you received Him?

Thanks be to God for victory,
The grave no terror knows;
Since Christ from death has risen,
He’s conquered all our foes. —Spittal

Christ’s empty tomb guarantees our victory over death.

Read: Romans 5:12-21

If by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive . . . the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. —Romans 5:17

Bible in a year:
Jonah 1-4; Revelation 10

Nothing pleases me more than hearing and reading about the birth of our Jesus! Hallelujah! Thank you, Meg. I will try to post a little later. I have to TRY to run a few errands for a couple of last minute things.....too tired to think! I ask HIM to walk with me today.

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place


Attractions





My Pretty One found me on a cold and rainy night
Mother had just gone away and it was a time of fright!
I was looking for shelter and anything to eat
When I looked up and saw a Human flash a smile so sweet

She was tall and had her arms full as the rain glistened in her hair
Though Instinct told me to run away, I decided to stay right there
As a window low to the ground opened in her Home
My Pretty One returned and passed me though it, so I would never roam

Warm, lushly scented air washed over me as I lit upon the Floor
A lovely introduction, though there is just so much more!
I've found so many Special Places and have made them my very own
I find them when My Pretty One is away and I'm Home all alone

The Window sill and Big Long Chair have their own allure
Mixed with the warming rays of the Sun, so radiant and pure
The Book Case, Kitchen and Closets all keep their secrets in the dark
Sometimes I go out of my way to discover them on a Nocturnal lark

But, I really prefer My Pretty One's lap when she's relaxing at Day's end
With her gentle fingers in my silky fur, there's no better time to spend!
Listening to her recount the Day with tales whispered and replete
Purring away and knowing that for both of us, this Home is now complete

~~A Warm Blessed Sunday~~

~~To Amy's Place~~

It is cold, rainy, windy, and miserable in my little part of the world! Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy!

[oldteen]

Wow...she absolutely has talent!

As I've never watch this, or AI, or DWTS, I suppose I am missing some good things!

[luvie]

Thank you,Cat Man! I want a kitty like that one!
