Thank you for sharing today’s lesson, Rus.

We appreciate you and your morning posts.

I loved all your brag time. Sounds like a wonderful Christmas program and I was so glad to hear of the songs they sang. I am keeping my fingers crossed anxiously awaiting the uploads from you. You have every reason in the world to be happy and proud of sweet Marissa!

Great job, Marissa!

[JustAmy]

I will be back shortly to post today’s Opener.

I need to take a coffee break. I’m starting the day in slow motion. :)

there is a definition I like very much

regarding success

it is getting paid to do ... what you would do for nothing.

You reminded me of it. Of course one can also be paid with praise and good comments.

Consider yourself paid! I'm smiling and I mean it truly. I appreciate your poems and you sharing them with me.

It says in the Holy Bible we each are given a gift/talent ... some are fortunate enough to know what their gift is ...

As for me I flounder ... being a Jack of many things and not very good at any of them.

Wait ... does that fit every man?

[JustAmy]

Very pretty and interesting, Meg. Thank you.

Have a Beautiful day.

"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.

Good morning, Jaycee.

Marissa was still basking in her accolates from her peers. Several of her friends on Facebook made comments after the concert last night.

If I had trouble with the video, I have another chance. Next Thursday, the choir will perform again at her Elementary School Christmas Program.

Mayor, thank you, for the Daily Bread ... always time well spent and good for the heart ...

To be of service to thee Father, show me how ...

To be a light in the world of darkness, show me how ...

to be salt, preserving those desiring to know God and seek him.

... and the wisdom to know the difference.

Congratulations on your wonderful Christmas Concert, Marissa. You’ve made us all proud to know you.

And Amy, do you suppose you could boast and brag a bit more? :^) Looking forward to your later uploads.

[Diver Dave]

Great graffic, teenie!

[oldteen]

Thanks, DD. Found it in the off season and figured if I didn't save it then I'd never find it again...lol. Somebody did a darn good job on it.

How are you feeling? Do you still have your grandson on FRidays?

[jaycee]

This is just so darn cute. Thanks to you both!
