Thank you for the Easter bear. She's sweet.

Gosh, I've missed everyone so much!

Oh, while I have your attention.....I know you are involved with Rotary, by any chance are you going to the International Convention in Brisbane, Australia? I just got the word that we will be going as representatives from our local Rotary club. I am SO excited!! Although, I'm dreading the long flight down there and back. Will be spending 4 days in Brisbane and 2 days in Sydney.

It would sure be nice if someone I knew was going. We won't know anyone.....but, since people are coming from all over the world, I guess most everyone will be in the same boat. LOL.

Wow, Australia!! That sounds great!!

Forgive the bandwidth, but I know you'd enjoy some winners of an Easter egg contest at the White house.

Thanks...

There are so many things we do not know. My father passed away last year on the 20th of April... and there are so many things we find out these days he never told us. Nothing big, but it's scary to see how lack of a confession to those in the need to know could be devastating. Some people for inheritence get Mafias running after them because of some drug or gambling debt of their elders.... I'm not in that case, but I met some people my dad knew and I never knew.... pretty sad... because how can you forgive a person when this person does not tell you what they need to be forgiven about?

Intangible people vs. a tangible God is my main theme these days. Who says the Bible is not scientific. It is the best sociological advice of all: do not trust any sociology or model of man, for man is intangible and sinful and can only be confident in telling the ultimate truth to the Lord at times, in prayers.

Hi, The Thin Man, how are you?

Well, lookee here. The one who hurled insults my way last night is asking how I'm doing. Does this mean you're overcome with guilt and shame for your awful treatment of me? :-)

Btw, I'm doing fine, thank you.

[The Thin Man]

Ditto to what Aqua said...Billie's fingerprints ARE all over it...she just insisted that her name be kept off however as the post was completely error free today and she didn't want to disappoint you Thin Man! What she does to keep you happy!

I hate to interject a negative thought, but has it occurred to you that maybe the reason Billie wanted her name left off the thread is because she didn't like it? :-)

Got your mail and am happy to post the Military Prayer today.

God Bless Our Military

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Daisyscarlett; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Yes, I've rather rapidly overcome my guilt and shame! :)

I'm doing fine too. It's this beautiful spring day here. Christ is Risen. Christ will come again.

[Billie]

[GailA]

I remember playing this song on the record player for my boys when they were little.

Someone's got some 'splainin' to do!

I don't see a subpoena.

[dansangel]

I have a feeling I'm going to be doing a lot of moaning and holding my stomach come Monday....

...But it will be worth it!! :-)

[Aquamarine]
