CHANGE? I Did Not Expect This!

THE OLD ORDER YIELDS TO THE NEW -

Not without a few well-chosen "barks" from Pastor Bulldog. I have begun chemotherapy treatments to eradicate a tumor on my right lung. I have also begun a series on the treatments, The "Big C" Chronicles: the process, the progress, my thoughts, the effects, and results. I will add an account each week until whatever. I recognize this "sting" as the Lord permitting it to happen that He might prove me for even greater service to the Lord, "whether by life or by death". At the same time, Helen is going through a battle of pnuemonia on top of the after effects of her second pacemaker/defribulator implant. To make the treatments for both of us easier and to keep our boys from "tearing their hair out" in extra work, worry and concern, the family in a concerted effort has helped us close up house-keeping and move to a beautiful long-term care faciltiy, Del Mar Gardens of Overland Park (Metro Kansas City, MO), Kansas, just nine miles from our former home. The Bulldog will continue to bark by God's grace through faith. Keep checking in, there's more to come.

Thank you for your prayers.Click on "THE TOPIC OF CANCER" link on the side bar to the left for The "Big C" Chronicles. Thank you for your love and loyalty. "To God be the glory, Great things He has done."

Salute Those Who Are Brave Enough To Defend Our Liberty

July 4, 1776: If these farmers, merchants, and scholars were not ready, they got ready ,,,in a minute!

From the Revolution agaist tyrany, to the Surge that made a nation free. To ridding godless terrorists in Afghanistan; after having helped to save Europe and the world from a massive global holocaust while losing our loved who did not survive our own holocaust at Omaha Beach, the Americam soldier, sailor, coast guardsman, Air Force airman and fighter/bomber pilot, and including the Merchant Seaman, is ready in a minute to take arms to keep our country safe from those who have no conscence and would just as soon shoot, stab, skewer, hang, or saw us in half, as look at us ...after laughing at attempts to negotiate.

Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775, delivered a speech to Colonial delegtes to vote on being independent colonies. Only the last part is presented here.

"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

Thank God for the spirit of '76 ...still alive through all of our mistakes and controversies. Pray without ceasing for our brave professional troops who are giving all they have - and for their families.

Celebrating Our Nation's Independence since July 4, 1776.
