Merry Christmas (Remember)

May everyone's Christmas be as good as a puppy's loves and as happy a child opening the exact present they wanted. Our prayer is that everyone remembers the "reason for the season", the greatest gift ever given (a Father's Son), and where the custom of giving and receiving at Christmas was started.

God gave us his Son knowing that our sin and us would kill him, he did this out of love.

The Son came to this world knowing that our sin and us would kill him, he did this out of love.

Upon the arrival of God's Son, gifts were brought to him out of honor and love for who He was and why He was here.

When we give and accept gifts let us remember this - Know that you are loved, because He came to this world to give His life for everyone and that includes YOU!

Merry Christmas!

This is Really a Shame

It is a shame that a country founded has gotten to this level of ignorance regarding God... Of course, it doesn't same much that the media and academia believe religion, Christian, and God are all the same - They are not!

Blind Faith
Americans are also the most religiously ignorant people in the Western world. Fewer than half of us can identify Genesis as the first book of the Bible, and only one third know that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

Poltics as Usual

The UPI runs a story, Bush avoids `God` in Thanksgiving speech, as they keep their political hat on! Not to long ago they, along with other MSM (Mainstream Media), had a problem with God being in a speech... Simply amazing!



God is mentioned is the President's proclimation!


As Americans gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving Day, we give thanks for the many ways that our Nation and our people have been blessed.



The Thanksgiving tradition dates back to the earliest days of our society, celebrated in decisive moments in our history and in quiet times around family tables. Nearly four centuries have passed since early settlers gave thanks for their safe arrival and pilgrims enjoyed a harvest feast to thank God for allowing them to survive a harsh winter in the New World. General George Washington observed Thanksgiving during the Revolutionary War, and in his first proclamation after becoming President, he declared November 26, 1789, a national day of "thanksgiving and prayer." During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln revived the tradition of proclaiming a day of thanksgiving, reminding a divided Nation of its founding ideals.



At this time of great promise for America, we are grateful for the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and defended by our Armed Forces throughout the generations. Today, many of these courageous men and women are securing our peace in places far from home, and we pay tribute to them and to their families for their service, sacrifice, and strength. We also honor the families of the fallen and lift them up in our prayers.



Our citizens are privileged to live in the world's freest country, where the hope of the American dream is within the reach of every person. Americans share a desire to answer the universal call to serve something greater than ourselves, and we see this spirit every day in the millions of volunteers throughout our country who bring hope and healing to those in need. On this Thanksgiving Day, and throughout the year, let us show our gratitude for the blessings of freedom, family, and faith, and may God continue to bless America.



NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 23, 2006, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all Americans to gather together in their homes and places of worship with family, friends, and loved ones to reinforce the ties that bind us and give thanks for the freedoms and many blessings we enjoy.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.



GEORGE W. BUSH




Not quite like George Washington's I posted earlier, but it will do!
