REMEMBRANCE

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.

The Promise Of Redemption

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kindgoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Psalm 46

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.

~ Ronald Reagan

A Fascination With Fainting Goats

DateMonday, October 8, 2007 at 02:29PM

In the annals of barnyardia, is there anything any more interesting than the fainting goat? I can't get enough of this kind of thing. These goats have some kind of genetic predisposition that makes their legs stiffen up (and themselves fall over) each time they get scared or excited about something ... even if they just see supper coming! It's so funny ...

I saw some fainting goats with my own eyes at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, Tennessee, several years ago. The goats were gamboling about in a clearing, happy and free of care, on a beautiful spring day. A worker invited me to "scare" the goats by walking toward them and shouting. I did so and -- oh my soul! -- the goats started dropping like flies! I'd never heard of fainting goats up to that time so I was concerned that I had killed them with the mere sound of my voice, but the worker assured me that the goats would be trotting about again in no time flat. And sure enough, they were. What a relief.

Too bad your "goat trick" doesn't work with politicans, tax collectors, and all people on all "reality shows."

Oh, my gosh! That's funny and sad all at once! Sounds a little like tipping. Poor little animals! I wonder if it feels like cramps in their legs? I hope not. Some of those falls look pretty harsh.

LOL! I think they're OK! It just makes me laugh and laugh ...

I could be mistaken, but I think the goat at the end of the clip used to play quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons...
