I am grateful to have had the blessing to be the father of such an one as Jared ... and his older brother and three older sisters. They, along with their mother, have taught me more about life than any years of schooling, any high priced training or seminars and any "job" ever could ... and I am grateful to God for it.
... and having that, you are rich and blessed indeed beyond anything the world can comprehend.
Best regards and God's best to you and yours.
As long as we have many families like yours abroad in our land, quietly going about life in a manner consistant with the foundational principles of our liberty and our faith ... the powers of hell will be shaken here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, irrespective of whatever temporary gains they may accrue.
Just my opinion perhaps, but also my faith.
Engaged in the effort to educate others (and ourselves) and to restore our nation to its foundational and constitutional roots (which sadly in too many cases our Republic has strayed from) ... we are indeed brothers.
FRegards.
As a result of an exercise here on FR last Friday and Saturday, I developed an online ad.
Online Ad for the Dragon's Fury Series
http://www.dragonsfury-breathoffire.com/online-ad.htm
That I am having folks look at and then forward the URL to their email lists. To try and get the email chains going.
Ultimately I will buy space online to link to it and then maybe begin printing it in targeted major market newspapers ... as I can afford it.
The eBook version remains the #1 best selling Mystery and Thriller eBook on Amazon (ALmost 4 weeks now). We're hoping that gets the attention, sooner or later, of a mjor publisher to get it out in allo the B. Dalton's and Wldons throughout the land.
FRegards and thanls for asking.
Ultimately, one way or another and in God's own time, we will have the opportunity for just that. Despite the horror, and the need for a just retribution for those who planned, abetted and committed the atrocity (and we must have that just and complete retribution IMHO), 9-11 provided us an opportunity to start down that path.
Even with the darkest clouds ... at some point there can be a silver lining.
I may not agree with everything our president does, but I praise God that he prays and reads the Word every morning! It is a prayer granted for me.
A lot of good things have been said about the 2nd ... we'll see if it translates into action and case law, directives to Federal Agencies, etc. ... but at least much better words are being said.
Abortion is yet to be fully addressed IMHO ... we'll probably see with the 1st Supreme Court vacancy he fills.
I tend to give the Pres. the benefit of the doubt on his stated beliefs. I like what he says in that regard. Actions still speak louder. Those two issues above are my own main "buttons", but I was certainly extremely disappointed and very concerned with provisions in the Patriot Act and Campagn Finance Reform. Both are decidedly bad IMHO, and fly in the face of Constitutional principles.
With faith and a determination to see things improve and turn back to the roots of our constitutional Republic we can but continue to wait, watch, pray and become involved as our heart and the voice within directs.
