Restoring Honor 8-28-10 Washington, DC USA


Just at the start of the Rally ~ God sent a formation from above.
It happen at 9:59 ~ Watch This.
The entire crowd let out a Gasp ~ we were in awe.


Dr. Alveda King to Glenn Beck when she hugged him before she went to speak and felt the bullet proof vest under his clothing....
"I didn't think of that, brother will you pray for me."


Many were warned not to speak on those steps at the Lincoln Memorial ...or else.


But they did it anyway.

"Blindfolded fear does not lead to an awakening - Questioning with Boldness does."
Glenn Beck

"We are one Race ~ We are an American Race."
Dr Alveda King


We can't get lost in politics, center around the virtues of
Hope, Charity, Faith.


What my son and I experienced at the Rally ~


There was a calm, comforting and loving presence in the air.

We celebrated America's Military Personal.


People are hurting financially, beaten down but came with a firm desire to turn things around in their own life first ~ and that of our Country.


There where ZERO politics in the speeches.


Seated behind me (we were like sardines) ~ a lively, beautiful woman cheering and full of excitement but every hour or so, her husband helped her in her wheelchair where she took in a large inhaler so she could breathe.

To my right, a 40 something man who fell over several times because of an insulin problem but refused to leave until the rally was over.

A man from Kentucky who is concerned he may have to close his small car repair business when the new health care laws take effect.

In front of us, a family of 5, the oldest in his 90's, who traveled 2 days to get there.

Lots of Vet's!


The Southern Bells ~ beautifully dressed, lipstick in place, never dropped a bead of sweat in their fancy patriotic hats and garb.

Lots of parents with children ~ it was a beautiful slice of American Pie.


Singing Amazing Grace with over 500,000 Patriots.


People standing shoulder to shoulder to restore Honor and praise the name of Jesus.


Faith
Pray ...for our leaders, for guidance, for inspiration.
Pray humbly before the Lord ~ and let your children see you.
The recipient for the Award for Faith ~

Hope
Hope must be based on truth not lies.
Honesty = Hope
Tell the truth even at your own expense.
The recipient for the Award of Hope ~

Charity
Begins in our own home with our spouse and children.
Tithing 10% of our income to our local church and those who need a hand up.
The recipient for the Award of Charity ~


Message of the Day
If you enter the Purifying fire of Truth ~ it will burn but the Truth will be refined, and the evil will be consumed.

Get behind God ~ use Him as your shield.

Know you have a purpose ~ you were born for such a time as this.

Get the poison of Hatred out of you ~ look to God and Love.

The principles of America need to be preached from the pulpit, not politics ~ Principles.

Self regulation ~ you do what is good because it is right ~ not because the government tells you to.

Be motivated to strive to be better in our own lives and to teach our children Rights come from God.

YOU can change the world.

Focus on God, Faith, Hope and Charity.

Restoring Honor on a personal level, Look above and within.

Honor your job, spouse and children.

Read your Bible.

Go back to church.

Notes ~

Some of the pictures are from  Glenn Beck's Web Site

I was shocked when I read the papers and listened to the media reports of this Rally. No one got it right.
I have shied away from politics up until this point and didn't believe the media could really be that far off ~ now I feel challenged.
Honestly ~ it scared me.

This was a loving , peaceful event ~ centered around God, Our Vet's and raising money for Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Read SOWF story Here.
People were polite, kind and when my son and I walked past the event Al Sharpton had going on ~ they were kind too.
The Truth is God had His hand on Washington this past Saturday.
Let's pray ~ on our knees ~ that He will keep it there.

Here are a few shots I took as we were walking after the event was over ~

The Botanical Gardens




The Library of Congress


The US Capitol from the Library of Congress


Notice how half way up the Washington Monument the color of the stone changes?
That was where they had to stop construction during the Civil War.
When they continued the project after the war ~ they could no longer find the same color.



God Bless America ~ God Bless YOU!

Lilla, Hershey Chocolate Cake, And A Stroll Through Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick little post to share something beautiful with you!
This was purchased from Lilla LeVIne  ~ such an amazing artist from Hawaii.
She painted it and printed it on the fabric.
It is large ~ 13 X 11 including the surrounding fabric.
I think it will be a perfect centerpiece for a crazy quilt ~ I am going to take my time planning this one!


Visit Lilla's etsy shop ~ where she has just listed Vintage Lace from Paris !


I thought I'd share the Chocolate Cake Recipe I made for my son last week.
I torn it from a magazine in 1984. For the frosting I use the recipe on the can of Hershey Cocoa.
By the way ~ these are Grama's cake pans ~ the only ones she ever used for a layer cake.

One of my favorite things to do in all the world was to turn those metal strips around and around to loosen the cake.
Since I am making a chocolate cake ~ I used Nestle Quick instead of flour so the cake won't stick to the pan.




Since visiting the town of  Hershey, Pa and seeing the great work they do there ~
I will always use their products.

Milton Hershey founded his school for under privileged children 100 years ago and it is still going strong.
It is a wonderful story ~ follow the link below.
I believe Queen Latvia is now the spokesman for the The Milton Hershey School





Safe in the cabinet from sneaky fingers and a passing fly until after dinner!


My  baby boy  Son gets the first piece to celebrate getting a new truck!


Before we say Good-Bye ~
Take a minute to enjoy some of the beautiful scenery from our drive to

"Long ago, beneath the crisp stillness of the harvest moon, Montauk braves once paddled northward from
Long Island to pillage the peaceful Niantics who resided at what we now know as Watch Hill."

excerpt from "Watch Hill By River And By Sea"




And on the drive home ~ Rt 1a in Stonington, Ct.


Sea-Fever


By John Masefield (1878-1967)

I must (go) down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.


I must (go) down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.


I must (go) down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
