AND
HE WILL RAISE YOU UP ON EAGLES' WINGS
BEAR
YOU ON THE BREATH OF DAWN
MAKE
YOU TO SHINE LIKE THE SUN
AND
HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.
If
Tomorrow Never Comes..
If I knew it would be the last time 
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in tighter
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say I love you,
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
There will always be another day
to say our," I love yours,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our. " Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So always hold them dear.
Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive
me, Thank you, or It's okay.
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

WORLD NEWS:
It was one of the hottest days
of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The
crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving
milk. The creeks and streams were long gone back
into the earth. It was a dry season
that would bankrupt several farmers before it was through.
Every day, my husband and
his brothers would go about the arduous process of trying to get
water to the fields. Lately this
process had involved taking a truck to the local water rendering
plant and filling it up with water.
But severe rationing had cut everyone off. If we didn't see some
rain soon, we would lose everything.
It was on this day that I learned
the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracle I have
seen with my own eyes. I was in the kitchen
making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I
saw my six year old son, Billy, walking toward
the woods. He wasn't walking with the usual
carefree abandon of a youth but with a serious
purpose. I could only see his back. He was
obviously walking with a great effort,
trying to be as still as possible. Minutes
after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out
again, toward the house. I went back
to making sandwiches; thinking that whatever
task he had been doing was
completed.
Moments later, however, he was
once again walking in that slow purposeful stride toward the
woods. This activity went on for an
hour: walk carefully to the woods, run back to the house.
Finally I couldn't take it any longer
and I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey
(being very careful not to be seen...)
as he was obviously doing important work and didn't need
his Mommy checking up on him).
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being
very careful not to spill
the water he held in them...maybe two or three tablespoons were held in
his tiny
hands. I sneaked close as he went
into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but
he did not try to avoid them. He had
a much higher purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw
the most amazing sight. Several
large deer loomed in front of him. Billy walked right up to them.
I almost screamed for him to get away.
A huge buck with elaborate antlers was dangerously
close. But the buck did not threaten
him...he didn't even move as Billy knelt down. And I saw a
tiny fawn laying on the ground, obviously
suffering from dehydration and heat exhaustion, lift its
head with great effort to lap
up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
When the water was gone, Billy jumped
up to run back to the house and I hid behind a tree. I
followed him back to the house; to
a spigot that we had shut off the water to. Billy opened it all
the way up and a small trickle began
to creep out. He knelt there, letting the drip slowly fill up his
makeshift "cup", as the sun beat down
on his little back. And it became clear to me the reason he
didn't ask me to help him. He had gotten
in trouble for playing with the hose the week before
and had received a lecture about the importance of not wasting water.
It took almost twenty minutes for the drops to fill his hands.
When he stood up and began the trek back, I was there in front of him.
His little eyes filled with tears. "I'm not wasting", was all he said.
As he began his walk, I joined him
- with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I stayed away
and let him tend to the fawn. It was
his job. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most
beautiful heart I have ever known working
so hard to save another life. As the tears that rolled
down my face began to hit the ground,
they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more
drops... and more. I looked up at the
sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride.
Some will probably say that this
was all just a coincidence, that miracles don't really exist. That it
was bound to rain sometime. And I can't argue
with that...I'm not going to try. All I can say is that
the rain that came that day saved our farm...
just like that actions of one little boy saved another.
This is not one of those
crazy chain letters...if you don't forward it to anyone, nothing bad will
happen to you. If you choose to
forward it, you won't receive any riches in the mail. I don't know
if anyone will ever read this... But
I had to send it out to honor the memory of my beautiful Billy,
who was taken from me much too soon. But not before
showing me the true face of God, in a little sunburned body.
THE FOLLOWING FAVORITE QUOTES, CONCERNING
GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN SENT
TO THE WEBMASTER FROM TIME TO
TIME FOR INCLUSION ON OUR WEB SITE.
AFTER READING THESE QUOTES, CLICK AND ENJOY THE LINKS
SUGGESTED. PLEASE BOOKMARK THIS PAGE.
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of
a nation be
thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction
in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?
That
they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble
for my
country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep
forever."
Thomas Jefferson
"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not
upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the
future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of
mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and
all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
James Madison
The Father of the U.S. Constitution
"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence
of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His
benefits, and to humbly implore His protection and favor".
George Washington
Proclaiming a National Day of
Prayer and Thanksgiving.
"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon
the teachings of the Redeemer of Mankind. It is impossible that
it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent,
our
civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian."
U.S. Supreme Court
1892 decision
Scary Elitism:
As explained to Carl Pope in the Sierra Magazine. (Mar/Apr 2000)
Per Clinton: Washington recognizes
two kinds of public policy matters:
"contract" and "normative" issues.
"Contact" issues are those like
Bosnia or arms treaties, which
are so complex that voters
acknowledge that they are so
complex or so removed from their personal
priorities that they are willing
to contract them out to trusted elected
officials.
Time Out for thinking > We thought
that in a democracy that the people made this
decision. We feel that
dictatorship means that someone rationalizes that they are
the only qualified power. Is
this not the kind af thinking that our country was
created to fight?
"Normative" issues, on the other
hand, are those like school prayer,
or abortion, on which almost
all voters have firm opinions.
Time Out Again > [Utilitarian
thinking again. Mr. leader - these are only the
current wedge issues that are
working for your "in group"?]
They decide to trust - or distrust
- politicians based on the degree to which the
politician's positions echoes
their own feelings.
Whoa - TIME OUT > Let us add
,knowledge, wisdom, experience, education,
our PRAYERS TO GOD. and so on
to feelings.
International trade, like the
President told us in the Senate, is no longer like "sugar-beet"
subsides
Time Out > [Another simple minded elitist rationalization?].
It is more like gun control.
TIME OUT > [Is Social Security like gun control too?]
So, "issues" can and are switched
between these two categories,
as it pleases the "Washington
and New World Establishment".
No longer, is the little person
to have "rights". No
longer can the little person
ask God for wisdom and perception and
if needed, intellectualism when
faced with difficult choices.
No longer, can you and me, be
equal before the law with them.
No longer, are we worthy of
the old definition of democracy.
We are just pawns to be manipulated.
Idiots with dumb feelings.
