AIM HIGH
A college professor prepared a final exam for his students. The test questions were divided into three categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and worth fifty points. The second, which was easier, was worth forty points. The third, the simplest, was worth thirty points.
Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest fifty-point questions were given As. The students who had chosen the forty-point questions received Bs. Those who had settled for the easiest thirty-pointers were given Cs. Some of the students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the professor what he was looking for. The professor leaned over the podium, smiled, and explained, 'I wasnt testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim.'" Robert Kriegel put it this way: "The key is to have a dream that inspires you to go beyond your limits".

Revolutionary war Soldiers had to aim high for long distance shots with their muskets because the bullet dropped so much at distance. The Bill of Rights and Constitution aimed much higher than the founding documents of the time and it carried us through two centuries so far. We need to aim high again and bring America through again.

To: All
Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Not A Myth
July 29, 2012
Im fascinated with history, so I eagerly watched a television special on Englands great King Arthur. A theme surfaced as each historian acknowledged that there were no eyewitness accounts nor historical evidence to support the story of King Arthur, his knights, and their Round Table. Repeatedly, the story was referred to as legend or mythology. It appears that the story is merely a legend woven together over centuries from fragments of other stories.
The good news of the gospel, however, is not rooted in mythology or legend but in verified fact, and its the greatest story ever told. Paul wrote that the most important event in human historythe resurrection of Jesus Christis supported by actual eyewitnesses. While listing disciples who had seen the risen Christ, Paul punctuated the list of eyewitnesses by writing, After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep (1 Cor. 15:6). At the time of Pauls writing, many of those witnesses were still alive and available for questioning.
The resurrection of Christ is not a myth. It is the factual pivot-point of history.
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph oer His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign. Lowry
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the best attested fact of ancient history. Arnold
Read: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Zeus likes to show how tough he is with his stuffed Squirrel and Stuffed Rabbit,shake them then bring them to me to throw so he can fetch and shake.
Did some sanding on an old bookcase (100+ old) that I'm restoring.
Nate is pulling himself up for a short stand. Even pulled himself up with the piano leg and pounded on the piano keys.
