Thanks very much. There are times in our nations history when I believe God is close to us. It's happened at times when we hold higher purpose foremost - duty and honor. Those of us that believe in higher purpose see 'these truths to be self evident'. We see injustice and have to watch. Things that are wrong.. and watch. Power abused and .. watch. It's that eye thing again.

I have an amazing view from my office at work... Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell pavilion. Also, I can see the local CBS affiliate across the street. One web site that inspires me is The Great Seal of the United States of America and with today's project, the eye in relation to CBS and as a symbol.

The current swiftees ad is about symbols. The Great Seal is a symbol that I believe communicates through the ages enlightenment, wisdom and understanding of things held by the nations founders.

Then there's John Kerry - he chose to throw his symbols away. Then he changed his mind when it suited him and he brags about them. They have no meaning to him other than a costume prop. He never renounced his actions when he threw them away.

We have clear direction. If we understand where to look.

"To everything we know there is a season a time for sadness, a time for struggle, a time for rebuilding. And now we have reached a time for hope. This young century will be liberty's century. By promoting liberty abroad, we will build a safer world. By encouraging liberty at home, we will build a more hopeful America. Like generations before us, we have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom. This is the everlasting dream of America and tonight, in this place, that dream is renewed. Now we go forward grateful for our freedom, faithful to our cause, and confident in the future of the greatest nation on earth. God bless you, and may God continue to bless America." - President George W Bush 9/2/04

Oh, I am now rating an 8.9 on the Jealousy Meter. What a view!

I've wanted to get The Boy to his Pappy's house and tour him around Penn's Landing, Valley Forge, and historic Philly. He's just starting to get interested in history, and there's no better place to do it.
