Allow me to do some rambling and serving of memories. I do have an important point and will get to it eventually.Recently I was flicking through some television channels when I came across a discussion about should Christians having Christmas trees. It caught my attention. I wondered why shouldn't Christians have Christmas trees. It is a time of celebration. A time to rejoice. A time to give

As I sit here typing this post I am listening to old time Christmas music. I can't listen to Christmas music without singing along, moving with the music and feeling a bit of nostalgic with memories of years past. Yes, I am taking a trip down my history's lane when Christmas was full of joy, family and friends. Giving and receiving the gifts and love from everyone.  No, I am not

Across this nation millions will join together May 7, 2015, to pray for our nation and our leaders. There are many of us that distrust our leaders of government. Some of that distrust is warranted. The only solution is that we pray that greed and injustice be removed and gratitude replace it. There are sources that believe this our 64th day of prayer will be the biggest in history. Each

The title of this blog post is taken in part by a speech made by President Franklin Roosevelt following the attack by the Japan Imperial Navy on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And, indeed it is a day that has been remembered by many. It is not a national holiday in this country. It is a day to remember those that gave their life and limbs fighting to keep the states from being attacked.

Veterans Day November 11, 2013 I could have used any video for this post but this one stands out among the many. Remember Me, is a video that was uploaded to Youtube in 2006. It was created by a young teen age girl. This has to have been a young lady that had the wisdom and feeling way beyond her years. I salute all military service personnel that have served and are serving today including

Yes, I am pointing at YOU! Do you know that you have the ability to impact someone's life every day? Do you know that you do impact someone's life each day? Yes, you do, most of the time without even realizing it. Do you understand that you already do make a difference in someone's life? It is not always the big things we do that we know for sure helps someone. It can be things we do

You have one day left. How will you live it?  Interesting question isn't it?  We seldom think or consider that our life is short. But it is! We are consumed with everything externally like making money, partying, buying a faster car, dating the best looking sexy person. Telling our inner self to be quiet. The people that really understand and have to face this are those that have a

Yankee Doodle by A. M. Willard also known as The Spirit of 1776 "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with

On this final Monday of May we are reminded of those that gave their life to serve. From the time of our Civil War to and through this day we commemorate all of the lives that are lost to the efforts of war. No matter what name that might have been given to that war.  Memorial Day 2013 What drives a person to serve our country in such a way? Pride? Integrity? Love of country? Selfish-less

Happy New Year Good bye 2012  Hello 2013  Another year is going down in our history and a new year is coming to us. On this night of wishing in a new year I reflect back on the year that is leaving.  2012 for me was a trying year full of unwanted news and surprises that I could have done without.

With all the stress and mess in your life perhaps it is time to take a breather and chill out from all of the clutter. You may want to watch the first time with your eyes open so you can see the beautiful scenes. Then replay each video with your eyes closed. Sit back, relax and allow the music to sooth your mind. Hope you feel better now. Elaine

Have you considered what Memorial Day means to you? Does it mean time off from work? Gathering with family and friends? Eating hotdogs, hamburgers and the like? Traveling? Playing on the beach? Lounging around watching the TV? Drinking too much beer? Fireworks? Parades? Shopping? Sure it does mean all of the above and much more! Are you taking the time to say, "Thank You"? Are you

Each flower represents a different characteristic of mothers. Mothers love your children. Children love your Mother.

We sometimes underestimate the power of encouragement. So many times one act of kindness, or one word of encouragement, can change a life forever.  This movie, The Push, gives us encouragement to inspire someone else today - to give a loving push.

Our attitude can bring people closer to us or it can push them away. Are you carrying around a pleasant personality or are you mad at the world? Down on yourself and everyone else? Your attitude can and will decide your fate. Your attitude decides if you have friends or not. Have you checked your attitude lately? If you have checked it, Is your attitude worth catching? How is your attitude?
