Good morning to one and all. I read this post a few minutes ago and thought how this applies today in America.

 

We are in a New Great Awakening – like the many we have successfully accomplished in the past. This one is Good vs. Evil. America is having trouble coming to grips with what to believe. Who is right and who is wrong? 

 

Dr. Charlie Ward has helped me to refine my moral compass. His guidance to research things yourself. Then you can decide what is right or wrong. It is really that simple. 

 

This journey will have lots of bumps in the road, many challenges, broken hearts, difficult decisions to make. Remember God is inside of you. Have those important talks and together you will fine the correct answer and direction to go forward. 

 

I pray every day to the Lord, I thank him each morning for another day to carry out his will, to do the right things, help others in need, spend time reading and researching what has happened, what is going on and what is to come. To separate the truth from evil.

 

May the good Lord bless and watch over each and every one of you.

Every month Martín’s parents took a trip to see Grandma and came home on the same train the next day. 

 

One day the child said to his parents:

 

′′I'm already grown up. 

Can I go to my grandma's alone?"

 

After a brief discussion, his parents accepted.

They stood with him as he waited for the train to exit.

They said goodbye to their son and gave him some tips through the window. 

 

Martin repeated to them:

 

′′I know. I've been told this more than a thousand times."

As the train was about to leave, his father murmured in his ear:

′′Son if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!"

 

And he put something in his pocket.

 

Now Martin was alone, 

sitting on the train as he had wanted,

without his parents for the first time.

 

He was admiring the landscape out the window. 

Around him some unknowns pushed themselves in. 

They made a lot of noise.

They got in and out of the train car. 

 

The conductor made some comments about him being alone.

 

One person looked at him with eyes of sadness.

Martin was feeling more uneasy with 

every minute that passed. 

And now he was scared.

He felt cornered and alone. 

He put his head down, and

with tears in his eyes,

He remembered his dad had 

Put something in his pocket.

Trembling, he searched for what his father had given him.

 

Upon finding the piece of paper he read it:

 

′′Son, I'm in the last train car!".

 

That's how life is,

We must let our kids go

We must let them try new things. 

 

But we always like to be

In the last car, watching,

in case they are afraid 

or in case they find obstacles and don’t know what to do.

 

We want to be close to them.

as long as we are still alive.

President Trump said …

Terry Orr

February 8, 2021 

President Trump said: "Let's blow up the white house!"

Oh wait, that was Madonna.

 

President Trump said: "Lock a 10-year-old in a cage with child molesters."

Oh wait, that was Peter Fonda about Barren Trump.

 

President Trump said: "We need another John Wilks Booth!"

Oh wait, that was Johnny Depp

 

President Trump said: "I fantasize about standing over Donald Trump Jr.'s dead body!"

Oh wait, that was Tom Arnold

 

President Trump: *Holds up a bloody, decapitated head*

Oh wait, that was Kathy Griffith

 

President Trump: *Shoots a likeness of Snoop Dog in a music video, has him in a body bag on his album cover*

Oh wait, that was Snoop Dog about Trump

 

President Trump said: "I'd like to take Biden behind a barn to beat him."

Oh wait, that was Joe Biden about Trump

 

President Trump said: "I dream of punching him in the face."

Oh wait, that was Corey Booker, US Senator

 

President Trump said: "Harass the staff and supporters in public and refuse to serve them."

Oh wait, that was Maxine Waters, congresswoman

 

But according to the left-wing media/DNC talking points, it's Trump with the hateful rhetoric... all in the name of TOLERANCE.

 

Then! Trump said, "everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not." (Note those last 7 words!)

Ooh my bad... that was Ms. Kamala Harris herself!!

 

Maybe it was when he said, "I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be, when people realize that this is a policy that they defend."

Oh wait.... that was Pelosi - when she wants to push a policy or agenda...

 

 

Sooo... What DID President Trump say about unrest and unlawful destructive protest??

 

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence" ~ President Trump 👆🏻

 

"I condemn ALL white supremacy ... I have ALWAYS denounced any form of that!" ~President Trump 👆🏻

 

"Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans!"~President Trump 👆🏻

 

"We’re going walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women. We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong."

 

"We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." ~President Trump 👆🏻

 

Note..... key words... "PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD"

 

But it is the Democrats and those seeking self-gain that say they are all about peace and coming together, right? 🤔

 

Stop believing mainstream media and stop spewing off from emotions and research - seek facts and truth! You have heard the saying right... "The Truth will set you free!"

Stop being chained down by hate!!!

Law Enforcement Officers

 

 

Terry Orr 

 

Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri during the 1950s – 1960s we respected and honored our local Police Officers. Some of us were lucky enough to play baseball for the Police Department – it was truly an honor and rewarding experience. In some ways, those years help mold me into join the U.S. Navy – to protect our way of life.

 

In all walks of life, we have folks who fall into several different categories – those that excel, those who get up each and every day to do their best, those who just get up punch the time clock, those who are just passing time – waiting for another handout and those who are simply bad apples in the basket. History tells us that this has been a way of life since the beginning – sadly.

Thank you, Steve

Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

Just A Blessing...

1.  Once upon a time, all the villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all the people gathered but only one small boy came with an umbrella.

That's FAITH

2. WHEN you throw a baby in the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them.

That's TRUST

3.  Almost every night we go to bed, without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set the alarms to wake up.

That's HOPE

4. We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of absolutely no knowledge of the future.

That's CONFIDENCE

5. We see the world suffering and in turmoil, but still we get married.

That's LOVE

6. On an old woman's shirt was written a cute sentence - 'I Am Not 80 Years Old…..I Am Sweet 16 with 64 Years' Experience.'

That's ATTITUDE

7. Now that you've been blessed, don't be stingy with the blessing - pass this on!

That's CARING

The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin

By Terry Orr

(Another wonderful email to share)

What a wonderful lesson this was for me. I do not recall ever being taught this in school. The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin" All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation's history. Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in, and even more proud of those who serve to protect our 'GOD-GIVEN' rights and freedoms. I hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers:

Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

 Have you ever noticed that the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!

The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life.

The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.

The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world. 

The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.'

The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.

The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day. 

The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded. 

The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born. 

The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their Nations motto, 'In God We Trust.'

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.

There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.

Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to as the symbol of ' Liberty and Freedom.'

MAYBE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE THEY RENDER THEIR DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. FORWARD IT; MAYBE SOMEONE WITH THE NECESSARY POWER, OR POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCE, WILL GET IT TO THEM.IN THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS.ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

If you agree, Pass it along to others

If not, hit delete

Our Soldiers have preserved your right to make this choice!
