Afternoon manna.

Thanks for thinking of Ally. She just had a badly swollen muscle in her shoulder. Ice and wet heat has her all taken care of. She'll be fine.

I'm excited about this project. I have been looking for something that we could do together and not regret the commitment. I think this is something we can both put our hearts into.

I didn't think of contacting the hospital or veteran's center. My first thought was for "one of our own" here at FR, but we will find someone at the hospital if no one knows of anyone here.

Off to read the thread while Ally sits on the other computer working on homework.

Hello everyone. I thought I should post this lovely prayer again:

A Prayer for America

"Lord, I pray that You will instill in every American the desire to be in unity with other Americans. May there be mutual respect, friendship and brotherly love among the people of this great land. Help us each to do our part to bring peace on earth. Give us a national conscience to clearly distinguish right from wrong with regard to how we treat one another and work in us a willingness to choose the right way. You have made America a large diverse family of many beautiful colors and a tapestry of cultures. I pray that in the family of our nation there will also arise appreciation and respect for the uniqueness of each individual. Help us to be unified with our leaders. Keep our leaders in a place of unity among themselves, and I pray that disunity will never be allowed to tear our country apart. Amen."

--Stormie Omartian.

Looks like there is room in there for all of us!!!

Your welcome, glad to hear she'll be fine. I think the quilting with her is a great idea.

Good afternoon Victoria. Thank you for posting the prayer.

[SpookBrat]

Thanks for the history lesson. I wasn't aware of the facts. Dolley Madison is a great American hero. I'm glad my daughter has a good woman to admire in history. Someone who didn't steal from the White House, who sacrificed her own belongings for the sake of our nations historical documents which belong to all of us. What a novel idea to be so unselfish.

Hi Spooky! Sorry to hear Ally isn't feeling well. :-(

The Freedom Quilts are absolutely beautiful. I love them.

Keep up the good work, Ally, and please get well soon.

[SpookBrat]

I have several of her books. They saved my life...well, actually God did it, but Stormie inspired the prayers. :) Thanks for posting that.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good afternoon, Snippy. You're quite welcome.

[Victoria Delsoul]

It's a beautiful prayer, indeed.

Thanks for posting that.

My pleasure.

Good afternoon everyone! Been busy here gathering "good news" reports about our troops to mass e-mail to family and friends. Gotta git ta work....darn...but before I go, I wanted to stop in to say "Howdy" to y'all and to say Thank You to our military men and women, past and present, for serving our great country!

Of course...
I'll just have to consult the Magic 8 Ball.
*Magic 8 Ball says: "What are you looking here for?"*
Great, no help from him either.
*Magic 8 Ball says: "No problem."*

[Darksheare]

There should be, but I was thinking of letting it drift into oblivious quisience in a corner somewhere...
Unless I can find a way to resurrect it.

[Darksheare]

Who's that in the trunk?

[SAMWolf]

Good Afternoon Victoria. Thanks for posting the prayer again this Sunday.

[SAMWolf]

You're welcome Spooky. How did Ally's questionaire project turn out?
