Insist on yourself; never imitate.
Your own gift you can present
every moment

When I am gone
Please remember me
As a heartfelt laugh,
As a tenderness.
Hold fast to the image of me
When my soul was on fire,
The light of love shining
Through my eyes.
Remember me when I was singing
And seemed to know my way.
Remember always
When we were together
And time stood still.
Remember most not what I did,
Or who I was;
Oh please remember me
For what I always desired to be:
A smile on the face of God.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
II Corinthians 4
>>>>++<<<<
On the mountains and in the valleys,
By the banks of the crystal stream,
He wandered whose eyes grew heavy
With the grandeur of his dream.
The seer whose grave none knoweth,
The leader who rent the sea,
The lover of men who, smiling,
Walked safe on Galilee --
All dreamed their dreams and whispered
To the weary and worn and sad
Of a vision that passeth knowledge.
They said to the world: "Be glad!
"Be glad for the words we utter,
Be glad for the dreams we dream;
Be glad, for the shadows fleeing
Shall let God's sunlight beam."
But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,
The world with its cares grows old;
The night, with the stars that gem it,
Is passing fair, but cold.
What light in the heavens shining
Shall the eye of the dreamer see?
Was the glory of old a phantom,
The wraith of a mockery?
Oh, man, with your soul that crieth
In gloom for a guiding gleam,
To you are the voices speaking
Of those who dream their dream.
If their vision be false and fleeting,
If its glory delude their sight --
Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten
The long, dark hours of night.

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

One more thing.
If I hear or read again that by having her chests lopped off Angelina Jolie has somehow miraculously and singlehandedly "empowered women," I will simultaneously scream and spit up.
I felt it prudent to point that out.
And that is all for now.

It's been shoved down my throat far too many times in the last few days and I don't find myself any more empowered than I was last week.
PS - I'm afraid you're going to hear about it again, and more than once because she is a liberal media darling...
I have a sore throat so I cannot scream, but I can change the channel. And I do. Too many women in my life have suffered and some have died from Cancer, and they were way braver. Thanks for your thoughts.
I don't believe anyone is saying she has singlehandedly "empowered women.
Your friend Irene says "Too many women in my life have suffered and some have died from Cancer, and they were way braver."
Yes, too many women have suffered and died from cancer, they were brave as are their families.
However, if they had known they had an 80% plus chance of getting cancer, don't you think they might have chosen the same option that Jolie did? It is simply a matter of survival. I'm betting their husbands and children might have wanted that option too.
Forget about the messenger, Jolie, and concentrate on the option to live.
Debbie, are you saying that you believe every woman in the world should submit to the BRCA1 test? And that, finding themselves "positive," should then submit to a double mastectomy or worry about dying of breast cancer? That sounds like a radical idea. I've done some reading this week that strongly suggests otherwise. Many doctors are alarmed at Ms. Jolie's revelations. However, that's beside my point. The only person whose healthcare decisions are my business, are my own.
My only issue is that Angelina Jolie, an immoral, oddball, and perniciously liberal celebrity, be made out as wonderwoman, superwoman, superhuman, brave, heroic, courageous ... just because she underwent elective surgeries. And YES it has been stated ad nauseam, ad infinitum that she has EMPOWERED women everywhere by doing this. And that's hogwash. They have no more power over their own healthcare decisions now, than they did last Saturday.
Jenny: If your "only issue is that Angelina Jolie, an immoral, oddball, and perniciously liberal celebrity, be made out as wonderwoman, superwoman, superhuman, brave, heroic, courageous ... just because she underwent elective surgeries." We are in agreement.
Ok ladies...here's the scoop on what this is REALLY all about...Ready?
In the first part of June...you heard about this, right? Oh sure you did! Our Wonderful main stream media is ALL over the story...anyway, I digress... The Supreme Court is going to hear the Genome Patent case....(copy and paste this article!)
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=supreme-court-set-to-hear-arguments-on-whether-human-genes-can-be-patented
IF they rule FOR it?? We are ALL in serious trouble! Angelina's test should Only have cost about $100. The REASON for the $3000-4000 price tag? Royalties....yes, you read that right. There have been 4000 different genes in the human body that have been "claimed" by large corporations. Realize, that there are Thousands more that have Not yet been mapped!
Do you remember the big "flap" over the downloaded music feeds by the average joe-blow and how there are huge fines for downloading that music if the music companies find out you've got a pirated copy of one of their songs? NO Difference with the gene patents! Once a company "owns" a particular gene...it's Theirs! NO LONGER does it belong to You! SO...can you imagine the "fine" you'd have to pay if little wifey gets pregnant? Hummmm? That will be considered replication....did you hear me? Replication...huge fines....
And don't think it stops with just the human genome system...look around you....ALL GENETIC MATERIAL.
SO....if that doesn't make your butt pucker up, I don't know what will.....
NO ONE has been talking about this! This is a TRILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS! Huge potential for profits to be made!
I know that on my blog I may come across as a country bumpkin at times....but believe me when I say to you, we are all in deep doo-doo. I am a simplistic person writing a simplistic blog, just trying to journal her life for her family in a small way....I am just sick at heart at what we are facing....and our children and grandchildren....my God, what will they have to endure?
Well, now that I've whetted your appetites and your quest for knowledge....Hahaaa....if you Tweet, copy the link and start screaming about it....There's also this:
http://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/luke/passage.aspx?q=luke+21:5-38
This is why I'm Not a raving lunatic by now.....It grounds me.

Debbie, if I wrote it, it's what I meant. There's no "if" about it. And I did write it. And I'm glad we're in agreement but if we weren't, that would be okay too. It's my blog and my opinion; nothing more, nothing less.
Donna ... that's truly scary; I don't even know what to say except, nothing surprises me anymore. I am sick at the thought of what my children and grandchildren face too. Certainly a society that champions the likes of Angelina Jolie just because she has an operation, cannot be trusted. At any rate, only God merits our trust and our worship.
