Proud to be An American

During his concert, Jose Feliciano reminded the audience to reflect on how blessed we are to be enjoying all that Disney has to offer without overt fear of being shot, bombed or otherwise terrorized. As Americans, most of us come and go with little thought of being harmed. True, there are some areas in the U.S. where violence prevails, gangs have taken over and personal safety can never be taken for granted. I have lived in such areas, but not for a very long time.

Even so, I am ever thankful and proud to be an AMERICAN. I thank God I was born in a land founded on HIS Word.

On April 15, the U.S. Army Band and a great chorus formed by four high school choirs and one elementary choir welcomed Pope Benedict XVI at a White House Rose Garden ceremony where they performed the Battle Hymn of the Republic. One of the fathers recorded it, added graphics and posted it to the web. It will send chills down your spine... the good kind. Please take time to click here and see it.

And my day was like this...

• 03:19 I'm heading to bed soon. Who knows why I'm still awake? 
  
• 09:54 Reading email, planning the day, cleaning the house, perhaps mowing the yard. No gym today. Date with Richard tonight - Jose Feliciano concert. 
  
• 12:07 Housework almost finished... Time for Lunch with the Lord! (My time of fellowship with Jesus and the Word) 
  
• 15:30 Leaving for Epcot as soon as I shower. I might even have funnel cake for dinner. Evil, isn't it?
