Thanks for the recognition of the Canteen.
It's not how long the Canteen has been open that counts.
It's what we do daily that does.

(HUGS)Good morning, Bethbg79. How's it going?

Good morning! (((HUGS)))

It's going great!

It's Friday! WoooHooo! :-)

A man sitting in the bar found that the front of his trousers was all
wet. Turning to the man on his right he asked, "Did you pour beer on my
trousers?"

Nope," came the reply.

Then, turning to the man on his left, he asked, "Did you pour beer on my
trousers?"

The man also replied, "Nope."

"Oops, it must have been an inside job."

1778 Anglican clergyman and hymnwriter John Newton wrote in a letter: 'A real conviction of our weakness we cannot learn merely from books or preachers. The providence of God concurs ... in making us acquainted with ourselves.'

Thought for the day :
"Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change."

You Might Be A Redneck Jedi If...
At least one wing of your X-Wing is primer colored.

Murphys Law of the day...(McGurk's Law)
Any improbable event which would create maximum confusion if it did occur, will occur.

It's a little known fact that...
There are about 30 milligrams of caffeine in the average chocolate bar, while a cup of coffee contains around 100 to 150 milligrams.

On this day in History
Oct 3 2001
I joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

We Need You -- In the wake of the recent attacks on the United States, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will be called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions. We will need all the help we can get. You needn't own a boat or even be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging. For information about existing Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our Join the Auxiliary webpage. You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard
and, in the process, do something for our country in its hour of need.
Age 17 and up (no upper age restrictions) Click Here for details.

"We owe these men a debt we cannot repay"

I suppose we could have begun to repay them by allowing them to collect both their retirement and their medical disability payments together.

Evidently that is just a little too compassionate for an administration who can't seem to find the veto pen unless it's for a bill to help US citizens.

And the Coast Guard Auxiliary has never been the same.

As to weather this is good or bad...I make no comment.
:-)

Just in case anyone was wondering....

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House



Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
