Hi Lori. Thanks for your kudos. I was so despondent yesterday....but John's words really made me feel better
BTW...when I saw the picture of you Dave that Lori made of the Traveling Wall... I AM SO EXCITED...it comes to our small town in July in conjunction with Honda Homecoming (where about 5,000 Honda motorcycle bikers will descend upon us for 4 days.) American Honda first started out here and employs around 15,000 people here. Anyway, your picture really fired me up! Plus I will just be installed as our Rotary Club president AND we are going to be major involved in helping out!

I like your excitement.
We've got a Veteran's Day Parade downtown on Saturday morning followed by a fantastic program at a different venue in the afternoon. Last year's program was outstanding, so I'm looking forward to this one.
Then on Sunday, our church will be honoring Vets during both morning worship services.

Thank you so very, very much, John and Dutchess. We needed this. Appreciate you both so much!

Absolutely superb job, dutchess!! (((((((((((((dutchess)))))))))))))) Overwhelming kudos to you, my friend. Let the Dems enjoy their dead-cat-bounce. We're coming back stronger than ever in '08. If you do the math, 10 or 11 districts -- DeLay's and Mark Foley's being prime examples -- are automatically back in the GOP column in two years. Which means we only need to pick up a handful of other Dem seats to win back Congress. Very doable. Especially if the top of the '08 Democrat ticket is weak, as it will be. The Donks are unlikely to enjoy two back-to-back elections without losing a single House incumbent (or Senate incumbent, for that matter.) That's just not going to happen. Don't forget that the BIG PRIZE is '08, not '06.
Thanks again, dutchess and thanks, y'all, for dropping by! (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((group hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

One Problem; Two Views
READ:
Romans 13:1-7Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. Romans 13:1
Jamaicans were recently concerned that their countrys murder rate was nearing an all-time high. Debate was lively as good citizens sought solutions.
Typical of two common approaches came in letters to the editor of one Jamaican newspaper. One writer said, Unless our scholars, . . . policymakers and political representatives seriously seek answers, the future of our nation is dire. Another observed, It is time we address the heart of the problemthat the people of Jamaica go . . . not to the Minister of National Security but to God Himself.
One problem, two views: The totally secular proposal, which leans on the wisdom of man alone; and the divine approach, which depends on God and those who love Him.
We need both: God-ordained government to care for the people (Rom. 13:1-7), and people who have a proper view of God and His guidelines for life (Prov. 14:33).
No matter where we live, we must pray for those in charge, asking God to provide direction. Then we must also work and pray that individualsone by onesee their need for Jesus and their dependence on the Lord.
By combining the two views, we can make a difference. Dave Branon
Its always easy to complain
And say that governments unfair,
But Gods Word says we should give thanks
And lift our leaders up in prayer. Hess
Through prayer, the public business of the nation can become the private business of the Christian.
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 48-49; Hebrews 7

It is time we address the heart of the problemthat the people of The United States go . . . not to the "elected or appointed" for fixing our problems, but to God Himself.
Perfect timing for this lesson.
Prayers for President Bush and our great nation. And for all of us(me) to be patient with His plan. In God We Trust.

Hi Rus...thanks for devotional.. been sparse around FR the past couple weeks.. just catching up a bit before I leave & want to express my disappointment in your loss.. We have turned away so many good men & women in favor of scoundrels it seems.
Well, I am glad God is in charge of my soul... it seems Satan is alive & well on planet earth, as the popular book states.
Hugs hon!
