Flashback: 9-11 As It Happened--FoxNews

[left that other site]

I will NEVER forget that day.

I was at home and the bug exterminator (A Pakistani) was spraying my home when it happened right in front of us on the TV.

The very Moment the second plane hit, the Pakistani man exclaimed, “WHY DO THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR GOD!?!”

This was way before any speculation that this was Al Qaida, or Bin laden, or Islamic Terrorists.

But the Pakistani KNEW. And he was there IN MY HOUSE.

I will NEVER forget the feeling in my gut that I had that moment.

ANOTHER DAY OF INFAMY!
WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!







“I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”



Marine Veteran Sings Verse Four Of Our National Anthem
(Click)



“Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us. Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.”

President George W. Bush – 20 September 2001

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Dogs are the best. I wish I could have more than 2 at a time. I am alone at night and it is so nice to have them here with me. Them and my arsenal. Hee Hee.

Cheers

Good & Plenty
September 12, 2012

I have to admit that I’ve got a sweet tooth. Of all the candies I love, Good & Plenty is near the top of the list. Life is good when I have a handful of those luscious, sugar-coated licorice pieces!

There are a lot of good things in life. But like a feast of Good & Plenty, the goodness is soon over. Even the best of the good things can afterward leave us feeling empty and even regretful. So when the psalmist declares, “I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord, apart from You I have no good thing’” (Ps. 16:2 niv), I am intrigued. We all know that God is good. But when was the last time we embraced Him as the ultimate good in our life?

The psalmist explains just how good God really is: He is our preserver (v.1), our total goodness-giver (v.2), our counsel and instruction (v.7), and the One who makes known “the path of life” and fills us with joy in His presence (v.11). Now that’s what I call good!

Unfortunately, too often we let lesser “goods” eclipse our acceptance of the everlasting goodness of God in our lives. The fleeting nature of lesser goods will ultimately disappoint us—you can count on it. Only God is truly good! And there is plenty of Him for all we need.

Oh, taste the goodness of the Lord
And savor all that He has done;
Draw close and give your praise to Him—
The holy, sovereign, faithful One. —Sper

God alone is good. Don’t settle for second best.

Read: Psalm 16

You are my Lord, my goodness is nothing apart from You. —Psalm 16:2

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 28-30

Hey...I know that place! I believe it is also called South Florida! :-)

[JustAmy]

Still busy here but wanted to wish everyone a WF Wednesday.

I'm still missing everyone. Thank you for being here.

Happy Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday

Honestly, Darling, we CAN'T go on meeting like this! My family doesn't approve of "Mixed Marriages".

Hey!! Good to see you, LTOS. Think I will come to South Florida. *smile*

How are you doing? Marissa is still taking guitar lessons. So far, I’m trying to keep it up during the school year. She is doing pretty good. She asked her teacher what grade he would give her and he said a B+.

When she practices now, she sings along. A couple of days ago, she played part of Amazing Grace. She said she taught herself. She is going to play the guitar and sing in the talent show at school this year. She said her teacher will teach her the song and get the lyrics for her.

Guess that is the update for now. Hope all is going well for you. Have a wonderful WF day.

[JustAmy]

Beautiful, Conor. I love your flowers. Thank you for sharing.

Hope you are having a WF Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

I must get busy before the day gets any older. Time for some paperwork and then a meeting with an attorney re: my BIL.

Hope to get back later.

Hi Amy!

It sounds like Marissa is “A Natural”!

Singing and Playing at the same time is a skill that takes a while to develop.

God Bless her in her musical endeavors!
