Memorial Day 2012

My husband and I had the opportunity to spend a couple days this Memorial weekend with 2 retired Navy Seals. What a great weekend. These guys are awesome. Not only are they tough, courageous, talented, and "bad ass", they shared their human side with us as well. They told stories that we could only dare to imagine...war stories. These brave guys, and thousands before them and after them, give so much. We have no idea, and until you actually get the opportunity to know one, talk to one, hear one, the life of a soldier sometimes seems like simply something we see on TV, or in a movie. They are so brave, so patriotic, they love God and their country. And they SACRIFICE. They put their lives on the line, for us, for their country. To be around these guys was such a gift. While Memorial Day is a day to remember, and be thankful for those who served or are serving, we need to remember these guys and gals daily. Everyday there are soldiers out there risking their lives. If you don't know a soldier or haven't had the opportunity to get to know one, I hope you someday do. Meanwhile you can pray for them, pray for their safety, pray for their lives, and pray for their return home.

Food For Thought...

"The problems we face today are there because the people WHO work for a living are outnumbered by those WHO vote for a living"

Class Warfare

What the heck? Why is the left calling for a class warfare on the rich? Where would we be without them? What do you think the wealthy do all day? Sit around having their nails done, flying on their jets, sipping champagne? Get real, if they are doing those things, its because they earned it! It's because of them and their businesses, investments, and ideas, that we even have a job market left! They create jobs! Repeat after me-They Create Jobs! And...to anyone out there who is bashing wealthy people-who do you think gives more to charities? Who starts non-profit foundations to help those in need? The rich! And if you are claiming that they are the big bad evil rich people-shame on you! Tell me you don't strive to be better, make more money, provide more for your family????? Tell me you wouldn't like to be wealthy???? Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Here's the deal, money can't buy you happiness, or save your soul. But it can provide a better way of life, and if you have a heart and a giving spirit, and try to live your life as Jesus would...think of what you could do to make the world a better place if you had more money. Quit attacking the people doing things that you don't have the ambition to do...
