verse & song for the day

But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold. ~ Job 23:10

I shall come forth as gold,
when I'm tried,
Job cried.
I'm coming out a winner
if I live or if I die.

Don't feel sorry for me, friend,
I'm safe in the fold.

I'm not forsaken,
God's refining His gold.

help our troops

Jeff sent me the link to this article. (http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/paratroopers-fighting-in-afghanistan-need-to-hear-from-you.htm) There was an article written in the NYT painting our guys in Afghanistan as less than heroic.
“The article sensationalized the facts in a negative way, which served only to cause undue stress on the Soldiers and family members.”
We can send letters, cards, and other things to the troops to support them. In the original article (which you can read here - http://www.blackfive.net/main/2008/02/help-boost-mora.html) there is a ladies’ address to which we may send things. Spring is hard on the soldiers in Afghanistan – the bad guys come out of their caves full of mischief and evil plans. Let’s at least pray, and remember our troops.

on a funny note ...

So I like to check out Hot Air, Michelle Malkin's blog. I haven't really been doing so for a while, but I did today. There's some discussion about Senator McCain's birthright - the New York Times (read it here) is bringing up a "musty debate" over where McCain was born (he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, while his father was stationed there for the Navy). A Hot Air commenter zinged it for everyone and was made "commenter of the day".

You never know who’s reading you on Hot Air. In today’s USA Today
On Politics blog:

One of the funnier li[n]es about all this today comes from commenter
29Victor at Hot Air: “Good thing McCain wasn’t born on February 29th, they’d be debating whether or not he is over 35.”

Har.
Bravo Zulu, 29Victor. You done made us proud.
