Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

US Marine Corps. Silent Drill. This is an absolutely stunning performance. Please watch to the end. This is an all white platoon, led by a black Sgt. They are working with the champion weapon of WWII, the MI Garand. The weapon weighs in excess of 10 lbs., so keep that in mind. At approx. 3:06 Sgt. performs inspection routine. It is outstanding. When I think of the all the black young men that are wasting their lives away in gangs, etc., not trying to make anything of themselves and then I see this black man … I’m proud he is black and I’m proud he is a Marine. THAT’s what I’m talking about ppl. He displays confidence, dignity, strength … oops, I’m profiling again.

Thank you for posting this. It is a fine way to start the day. Sometimes it helps to remember that there are fine young men and women like this who serve our country. Since the election, I too often fall into depression thinking of the young people who have fallen into the “gimme” mindset.

Glad you enjoyed that, Sharon. I am still amazed that they can perform those manevers with a weapon that is a lil over 10 lbs. Ever pickup like a … 10 lb. roast, turkey or ham? heh. So to be so precise takes a lot of dedication. But one of my main reasons for posting the video was not only military (for 12/7), but also a side comment of sorts on the Zimmerman case. When you see black and white working together … it’s awe inspiring. They have mutual respect for one another otherwise they could never accomplish what you see in that video. It makes me swell with pride not only to see these young men perform, but to see that skin color does not have to make a difference when you respect one another. When there is no respect … everything falls apart. This is in ALL relationships. Sharon, save this video for tonight when you can’t sleep. A gal friend of mine that I went to grade school and high school with was involved with drum and bugle corp. Her older brother was also. On a Monday, my friend did not show up for school, and we learned that her brother was killed by lightening performing on the field in competition. In any event, she still keeps up with all the ppl from her old days in the D&B corp., and not too long ago she shared a video performance of a competition that was really good. I submit to you … The Bluecoats (turn your sound up … cause it starts out pretty soft and builds to a fantastic crescedo):

A little Scottish Christmas humor to start the day.
A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, “I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.”
‘Dad, what are you talking about?’ the son screams.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer” the father says. “We’re sick of each other and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.”
Franticly, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
“Like hell they’re getting divorced!” she shouts, “I’ll take care of this!” She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
‘Sorted! They’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way.’

Memo from Dog to Master… Re: Cat
“The cat is despicable. She doesn’t do any tricks and never comes when you call and I’ve been there and I know she can hear you. We need to face facts: It’s time to get rid of the cat. Before the cat’s arrival, meals were very festive times. I would sit and stare attentively at your lips, trembling slightly and drooling. You would play the game of pretending to be cross and demand that I leave the area, but whenever you cooked dinner your children would slip me food under the table. Now, though, the cat is allowed to jump on the table – actually physically walk on the table! You don’t yell at the cat, you just pick her up and put her back on the floor, and I know you don’t see it, but she always gives me a haughty look as she walks past me.”

Some goof radio station from Sydney called the hospital that Kate was at and pretending to be Queen Elizabeth asked to speak to her nurse. The person who took their life was the person who took the original call apparently believing it was Queen Elizabeth. She then transferred the call to Kate’s nurse, who also was duped and said (paraphrasing) she’s resting nicely and doing well, etc. Because of criticism by Brits the woman took her life. She was still alive when found but died shortly afterward. This is all according to Fox News.

‘Deeply Sorry’ for Singing
About Killing Americans
…the pop singer behind the hit “Gangnam Style” — says he “will forever be sorry” for performing a song in 2004 that called for the killing of “Yankees” … and is begging for Americans to accept his apology.
The song in question was called, “Dear Americans” … and featured the lyrics, “Kill those f*cking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives.”
He continues, “Kill those f—ing Yankees who ordered them to torture … Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers … Kill them all slowly and painfully.”
I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months — including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them
