Many are absorbed with a possible numerical “significance” of today’s date. I already dealt with that issue, but as STP points out, today is the anniversary of D-Day. I have only one thing to offer in return for the sacrifice made by the courageous men that fought, and thousands died. What I have to offer feels like just… Nothing. I have my eternal and neverending gratitude.

That’s all. Just gratitude. Thank you, to those that defended freedom. Thank you. It feels like so little. It feels… Just – not enough, but it’s all I have to give. Thank you.

Jimmy B‘s Mom had a “small” heart attack. I just want to let Jimmy know that we’re all pulling for him. I have a question though. If a person is doing something that resembles prayer, but that individual doesn’t think there’s anyone on the other end of the line, is it actually prayer? Kind of like yammering away on the phone, but you haven’t actually called anyone. Are you talking on the phone?

If a tree falls in the woods and there’s no hippie there to hug it, Is it still George Bush’s fault? Of course it is. That analogy doesn’t fit.

Just trying to lighten the mood. I’m pulling for you, Jimmy. Perhaps even praying, or at least “praying.”

Well, that about wraps it up for me for the weekend. I thought I would leave you with a blogging tip, though.

Basil, fromThe Alliance, left a great blogging tip for Thanksgiving, and I think it is just as apropos for Christmas as well.

First, you’ll need to ensure you have the following:
A computer
A family
A heart

All set? Good!

Here’s the suggestion. Read through it all first. Print the steps out if necessary. But follow them all:
Computer – Turn it off.
Family – Go spend time with them.
Heart – Open it to others. And use all of it to thank God for all the blessings you have received.

It seems sensible to me.

Merry Christmas!!!
