Welcome to the Canteen, Fullclip. Hope you enjoy reading about some of our true heroes.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I had the day off today...so I watched an old (Original) Pink Panther Movie.
So FUNNY!
I thought I had seen them all, but this one was new to me. I LOVE Peter Sellars!
At the computer, but with an ear cocked for any sound of my Dad moving around. He doesn’t always use his walker and I need to make sure they are in the same place. We just a minute ago caught him on the stair lift...he said he wanted batteries (they are downstairs and in the garage). So I found him batteries for his flashlight. No walker downstairs, and no one to help him.
I did have them fill out their Absentee Ballots this morning and I will mail them tomorrow. Now THAT was an interesting job...I had to show my Dad where the little circles were for the candidates he wanted and then have him keep at it until the circles were filled in enough. My Mom couldn’t see the circle even with a magnifying glass. I read her the candidates and then darkened the circles of her choice so she could fill them in. 2 more votes for the good guys.
Ive heard people say, Im not afraid of death because Im confident that Im going to heaven; its the dying process that scares me! Yes, as Christians, we look forward to heaven but may be afraid of dying. We need not be ashamed to admit that. It is natural to be afraid of the pain that comes with dying, of being separated from our loved ones, of possibly impoverishing our families, and of regret over missed earthly opportunities.
Why dont Christians need to be afraid of death? Because Jesus was raised from the grave, and we who are in Christ will also be raised. That is why in 1 Corinthians 15:56-57, Paul proclaimed: The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The dying process itself is but an escort that ushers us into eternity with God. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we can have this confidence from Gods Word: You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me (Ps. 23:4). The picture here is of the Lord coming alongside us, giving comfort and direction as He escorts us through the dark valley to the house of the Lord. There we will dwell with Him forever (v.6).
Read: Psalm 23
Good evening, Luv...he was for sure another real hero.

We had a beautiful weekend...weather-wise.
But didn't get all the chores done that we wanted.
We rented two movies from RedBox this weekend.
They're new in our area, we originally had Blockbuster kiosks.
(must say I like the RedBox better)
Anyhoo...watched Act of Valor
(awesome movie...nail-biter movie if you love your troops)
and Battleship. Another movie worth seeing.
I need to see it again since my mother called at the beginning
to discuss Buffoon Biden.
Gotta make my rounds.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
The FR Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

I don’t even like Big Bird. :)
I did get a nap and it was soooo nice! Back to work today, like everyone! :)
((HUGS))Good morning, Beach.
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W.
How's it going?
“Morning is for...well...the birds! :)”
Well, birds wake up at the crack of dawn and immediately start working! Why can’t YOU do that, huh, Dudess? Huh? Well, HUH? Oh? Did I awaken you? Ah sawy, mommy. :-)
“2 more votes for the good guys.”
Uh-oh! How do they know that you darkened the circles of their choice? Huh? VOTER FRAUD! VOTER FRAUD! :-)
