OH MY GOSH! Last night's convention was fabulous! Nobody does it better - the dims must be literally foaming at the mouth. The former police commish, the Iraqi speaker, 9/11 families, the NYPD policeman's "Amazing Grace", McCain, and finally RUDY, RUDY, RUDY!
And that Finale: Larger-than-life Frank Sinatra singing "New York, New York" - a perfect ending to a perfect evening!
Excellent choice of subject matter ((((((Billie))))))

Read: Psalm 118:14-24
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. —Psalm 118:24
Bible In One Year: Psalms 132-134; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34
In Edith Schaeffer's book called The Tapestry, she describes a summer when her husband Francis was away in Europe for 3 months. During that time of missing him greatly, Edith and her sister Janet took their children to live in a former schoolhouse on Cape Cod. On a shoestring budget they shared the rent, lived without a car, and created daily adventures for the five young children.
Looking back years later, Edith said of that summer: "Never again have I spent time of that sort with my own children or my sister and nephews. The sudden precious moments in life need to be recognized for the unique periods they are, not wasted by wishing for something else."
Edith's perspective offers us a key to applying the words of Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." During difficult times, we are tempted to become passive while waiting for a storm of life to pass. But God invites us to actively pursue the opportunities at hand instead of lamenting over what we don't have.
Because the Lord has made this day, we can look past the closed doors to see people and opportunities we had previously overlooked. In celebrating their value, we will discover joy and gladness from God. —David McCasland
Good morning.

Thank you, mc! What a nice post! Thank you for clicking the link to the vets/active duty pics - The Mayor posts their pictures Every Monday - our Military Monday weekly threads are our way of showing our appreciation to FReeper vets and active military, as well as thanking ALL the military (and our leaders) for their service.
Good morning, Billie and all! Hi dansangel--long time no 'see'!
Billie, I couldn't agree with you more. Last night was great. Everything about it was 'top shelf'. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week---- looks like it will just get better and better!
yea, with dead batteries!
Rudy and McCain were great last night..
Michael Moore's reaction was a typical dimwitted and uncouth display.
But....what can we expect from the great unwashed masses - of which he is the poster child!
Love your graphics and presentation. The RNC could learn a lesson or two from you! :-)
