“I paint like the world depends upon it, then I come home and my wife tells me to change diapers. Life is good”
– Jon McNaughton
[…] June 12, 2013 – when a humane officer investigating a call about animal neglect found a fly-covered day-old puppy alone in a garage. The officer couldn’t find the puppy’s mother, so she rushed the tiny pit bull mix to the [Cleveland] shelter on Willey Avenue, where the animal care team named him Noland and discussed how to save his life.

“The team decided the best option would be to try placing Noland with a stray mom cat named Lurlene who had, two days before Noland’s arrival, delivered a litter of four kittens,” APL director Sharon Harvey said. “Remarkably, Lurlene welcomed Noland into her family, nurturing and nursing him as if he was one of her own. And the kittens were fine with him, too.”

AWESOME VIDEO
Twas’ the week before Christmas, and all through the land
the shoppers were righteous – Duck Stuff in their hand.
The camo was hung with great glee and good might,
knowing a family stood firm in their fight.
They cling to their bibles with great will – No dismay;
and the splodey head liberals are burned in the fray.
“How can this be so”, the pajama crowd screams,
while a God loving family is living their dreams.

[…] As the future of their show lies in doubt, the Duck Dynasty clan are still making millions thanks to their megabucks Walmart merchandising deal, MailOnline can today reveal.
The Robertson family has a merchandise empire that is estimated by Forbes to be worth about $400million – and their deal with Walmart makes up around half of this. (more…)
CHRISTMAS HERO Has Four Legs – Blind Man Falls On Train Tracks, Guide Dog Immediately Jumps To Help…
What a great story with a tail-wagging happy ending.
(New York) A brave seeing-eye dog loyally leaped to the subway tracks when his owner tumbled off a Harlem platform Wednesday — and they both survived getting run over by a train, according to witnesses.
Cecil Williams, 60, was heading to the dentist when he felt faint about 9:30 a.m. on the uptown A train platform.

His guide dog, a black labrador named Orlando, was trained to keep him from going over the edge — and tried to hold him up. The dog was barking and trying to pull him , but Williams fell, according to witnesses.
Matthew Martin, 54, said that the dog never hesitated. (continue reading)
In my humble opinion, together with Richard Burton, one of the supreme masters of classical oration. If you are a fan of classic movie presentations – we have lost a brilliant professional.

“Lawrence of Arabia,”(1964)
“The Lion In Winter” (1968)
“Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (1969)
“The Ruling Class” (1972)
“My Favorite Year” (1982)
When O’Toole retired he said lovingly:
“I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.”
With good song, and good cheer, we wish you fair winds and following seas “my good man” !

I’m going to ask you to pray this prayer.
Dear heavenly Father, I know that I’m a sinner; and I ask for Your forgiveness.
I believe You died for my sins, and rose from the dead.
I turn from my sins; I repent of my sins; I invite You to come into my heart and life.
I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior; in Jesus name – Amen.
