Great essay John. What a wonderful week for our side, and you captured it perfectly.

Aqua...great job putting it together. My favorite pics, the Bush and Blair handshake AND Condi's note. (ofcourse the Kerry picture is perfectly placed too LOL!) Kudo's sistah!

Back to work. Will try to stop by later.

Morning.
Wandering as normal.
All lights green, we are a 'go' for wander/lurk mode.

The gains of heaven will more than compensate us for the losses of earth.

Another timely message, yerhonor. Thanks.

Hi, Darks!

[Pippin]

Thanks! :0)

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for letting me know about the problem Dave, the breaks had gotten left off somehow and there were alot of corrections that needed to be made.

God Bless Our Military ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hello.
Over vandalising a troll thread.
We're up to 820+ demented posts..

[Pippin]

Where's that troll thread!

Let me at 'em!

[Aquamarine]

It was such a pleasure to illustrate this essay with so many points that were just and positive!

Saved one of the new pic's of Saddam today, am sure it will come in handy later.

Strawberries are my favorite fruit, corn on the cob my favorite veggie. I could eat them every day. I bought some of those corn holders from a Pampered Chef house party and I can screw them in before I boil my corn, saves burnt fingers.

Tha sounds like a great idea. My favorite is white silver queen corn on the cob. This is the right time of year for it too....need to run to the produce stand. (I'm serious, will be back later:))

Oh, he was already banned, but we're doin' the Frankenthread deal with megahumor to it.

'Dear John' Letter # 1,024:

Never thought my weekly letter would have within it an iota of a Complaint -- woe is me --

However, when you and Aquamarine sprung your essay for today, there was NO OBLIGATORY **WARNING** !!

She eased in with the wonderful historic photograph of Paul Bremer handing over authority to the new Iraqui governing assemblage.

Then a mere 5" down, she sprung this *horror,* with no warning whatsoever!!

"WHO/WHAT IS IT?!!" we must ask !!!
Who is that hombre behind the scary black mask ??
My goodness, he looks like The Grim Reaper !!

Obviously far removed from reality, he gazes into the distance as if seeking his next victim(s).
*M'Lady shudders at the sight of this apparition.*

If it is, as rumored, Monsewer Kerr-eeee(k), is he peering across to his European Homeland for inspiration as to how to further misguide us?

Will he ever reveal His Grande Plan
for "How to Redeem us Miscreants in the "I's" of the World" ??

Okay - shifting gears as is a woman's prerogative -- now that I think of it, he looks like Johnny Carson in reverse, seeking "answers" to all our questions...

LOL, you two !!

{{{ Hugs }}}}}

This segment of The Daily Bread is worth repeating, Your Honor:

Peter understood. He said that as we make our way through life, we will suffer grief as a result of our troubles. Yet we can actually rejoice through our difficulties, because God has reserved something special for us at the end of the journey.


Troubled today? Look ahead. Heaven will be worth the trip. —Dave Branon

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ. —Rusthoi


The gains of heaven will more than compensate us for the losses of earth.

Amen....

[LadyX]

Wonderful Pledge graphic, Aqua, and wonderful overall presentation!

Hmmm...is your dentist looking for

- the Mother Lode?
- the answer to the riddle of The Sphinx?
- the source for "My Winter Ski Trip to Aspen" ??

- All of Above, while he's at it?

LOL

GREAT Dear John letter Auntie M.

Perhaps the stage lights were a bit much for him...
