"I'm game...go for it!"

ANOTHER "Group Hug"!

(Either the 'visitor' is not welcome......or he needs a bath!)

[oldteen]

Or both!

My goodness. Never seen so many lined up together. Poor little outsider, no one wants it, I’ll take it. I always feel sorry for the outsider.

They’re darling, yorkie!!

My favorite bird of all time.... Here

[jaycee]

I use Yahoo as my search engine and have for years. I thought it was interesting that one of their stories today was about highly endangered birds of the world. I picked out only 2 and they are below.

Touching image This 'touching image' of two orange-bellied parrots won the category for critically endangered migrating birds, according to a World's Rarest Birds contest statement. The small parrot breeds only in southwestern Tasmania (see map) and migrates to southeastern Australia in the winter, where agriculture and development are crowding out its habitat. Probably fewer than 150 animals remain in the wild, according to BirdLife International



A picture of an endangered Asian crested ibis soaring over China is a first-prize winner in the first annual World's Rarest Birds international photo competition. The Asian crested ibis once thrived in Russia, Japan, and China, but its population has shrunk to about 250 in China's Shaanxi Province.

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.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

I LOVE that little guy, too! One of my favorites! (Loved the movie, too!) Thanks, Teenie!

[yorkie]

Thanks, JC! That is VERY interesting, and beautiful graphics!

[jaycee]

And these are my favorite birds!



I've decided to run to the store
and just get the things I have to have today
and tomorrow and go later for the rest. BBL!

[jaycee]

Hello Conor! And thank you for the Navy Hymn, Amazing Grace and the The Lord’s Prayer with Andrea Bocelli singing it. He is so terrific. I saw his Christmas show on PBS and it was so outstanding.

Hope your Sunday was outstanding!

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi, Jaycee! A Blessed Lord's Day to you!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[oldteen]

Thank you, Conor!

Hope your Sunday has been a great one!

I love Amazing Grace. Only thing that hits me harder than it on the pipes is the bugler playing Taps!

[tiapam]

[tiapam]
