Welcome back Ohio. Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation. These four year sure went fast, didn't they?

Rintense, these are wonderful pictures. The ceremony was so moving this morning. I wish we could have seen the ceremony from Saint-Mere L'Eglise. If you notice in the pictures from there, the large church in the background, there is a parachute on the roof. The French have kept one there to honor the memory of the Airborne troops who landed in their town. One of the Airborne troops got their parachute caught in the spire upon landing - and sadly was killed by the German troops. They haven't forgotten the sacrifice.

Freedom, your Proverbs are wonderful. I don't always thank you for posting them, but I always am grateful.

I'm glad you mentioned the parachute. I have a memory of seeing a movie about WWII when I was just a child .... way back in Olden Days when families went to the drive-in together. The only thing I remember about the movie is the shot of a paratrooper getting his 'chute caught on the spire of a church and his hanging there helplessly for a long time. I was thinking that it was part of that first invasion into France but wasn't sure. Your post has confirmed my distant memory.

You're all very welcome for the Daily Dose Proverbs - which has now become the Daily Dose Psalm. But without the Daily Dose - these would not be there - so, rintense - once again - thank you for this faithful posting of these fantastic pictures.

And, deep gratitude to those who will be praying for my loved one (a sibling) in their marriage. God's grace, mercy, peace, and love - and guidance - is needed there in a big way - and is already THERE. We have an awesome God and without Him - and the light of His Word - our way would be all darkness.

Just like President Bush's face reflects the light of God's presence in his life.....so it is for all of us if we just spend time with Him in prayer.

Hokay - end of sermon. Hope everyone has a blessed day. And, thank you for your dear friendships.
