Thanks, Rus, for posting this thread where we can show our appreciation for our military and our President.

God Bless our troops and their Commander in Chief for
their valiant efforts towards ending terrorism and for
lifting the yoke of oppression from the Iraqi people.

They are my heroes!

Don't know if you all saw this the day of the Super Bowl but this is an awesome version of the Star Spangled Banner sung by our Military.

May take a minute to load but well worth it.

A Reason For Optimism

Read:
John 16:16-33

A merry heart does good, like medicine. -Proverbs 17:22

Bible In One Year: Numbers 18-20

cover The Bible isn't a psychology textbook, but it gives us the wisest counsel for experiencing happiness here and now. Proverbs 17:22, for example, assures us that "a merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."

That simple statement was recently corroborated by the extensive research of Dr. Daniel Mark, a heart specialist at Duke University. The New York Times article that reported his findings carried this headline: "Optimism Can Mean Life for Heart Patients and Pessimism Death." The article begins with these words: "A healthy outlook helps heal the heart."

But Dr. Nancy Frasure-Smith, a heart specialist who has studied the effect of depression, anxiety, and anger, admitted, "We don't know how to change negative emotions."

Faith in God, however, can produce that change. People who look beyond their present difficulty and put their trust in God's goodness cannot help but be joyful.

It's significant that our Savior said on several occasions, "Be of good cheer" (Matthew 9:2,22; 14:27; Acts 23:11). Knowing that life is filled with many crises, He encourages us with this word of reassurance: "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). -Vernon Grounds

All your anxiety, all your care
Bring to the mercy seat, leave it there;
Never a burden He cannot bear,
Never a friend like Jesus. -Joy

No matter what happens, you can find joy in the Lord.

Every day the Bible message seems to be speaking directly to me. I'm going to try to be of "good cheer." Good morning to you and all of the Finest.

Morning Mayor!

The snow yesterday was a pffffttttt! I guess I'm a kid at heart and always get excited at the thought of those falling white flakes. Happily though, I don't have to worry about driving in it.

Have a good day!
