Thanks e...I want to thank you again for this blog. Thanks especially for the Red Skelton monologue. I have read it many times, but had not seen it in YEARS. It is so moving and so heart-wrenching.<BR/><BR/>It also gave me the chance to "say" to a co-worker of mine what I couldn't put adequately into words. He is a man my age, very knowledgeable about church history, with very well-established opinions. We were talking about certain national leaders that choose to not place their hands over their hearts and pledge allegiance to the flag of this country. He agreed with them that America was such a big-business only nation that cared nothing for people and he did not respect her anymore, therefore he would not honor her with the pledge. <BR/><BR/>Whatever your views or political inclinations is not my issue, it is the matter of love and respect that truly has been earned that upset me. It isn't always about "deserved" respect, it is the respect because of the role or position in our lives and in our history. I closed our conversation by not conversing saying anymore "talk" was moot. I came home and forwarded the monologue. Sure, I know I didn't affect him at all, just added fuel to his flame, but I surely felt better. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again. Miss hearing from you...<BR/>KathleenKANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399871546986361426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-8856323462091058382008-07-12T09:37:00.000-07:002008-07-12T09:37:00.000-07:00What a brilliant post, Will.

You have certainly spotlighted the integral wonder and beauty of your great land.<BR/>I grew up watching Red Skelton and have seen many a John Wayne flick. Your use of these videos has made me mindful not just of your country's greatness, but makes me appreciate my own.<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/><BR/>Kat<BR/><BR/>P.S.

God ...I just got the comments you left on my post. God is so good. Right now I am going thru some things and you encouraged me to be patient, but sometimes it is hard to be patient. God could move His finger and change things and although I know He has His reasons for not doing so, it is difficult waiting. I know His words says to trust Him and that all things work together for good to those wholove the Lord, and He is not far from the seeker and to make our requests made known to God. I am just struggling right now with being patient and waiting for Him to move. I asked myself if the reason He is silent is because of some disobedience on my part. I search my heart, I ask Him to show me if there is anything in my life that is causing Him to be silent, still I know He is working, I just wish sometimes He would work faster or according to my time table. So thanks for this morning, I needed to hear that things don't always happen when we want them to. You are in my prayers.Live, Love, Laughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888736764866973600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-68988796191207562562008-07-08T15:54:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:54:00.000-07:00All three tributes were priceless....I love to wat...All three tributes were priceless....I love to watch "Yankee Doodle Dandy" every fourth to July. James Cagney did an awesome job of telling the story of George M. Cohen. <BR/><BR/>I pray often for God to protect this nation and it's liberty and the Constitution....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you thoughts.Lucy Sternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551301072676727397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-90968060059289095302008-07-07T19:36:00.000-07:002008-07-07T19:36:00.000-07:00This blog world is almost another world -- kind of...This blog world is almost another world -- kind of a horizontal experience maybe. You can bounce all over the place, "meeting" all kinds of people, with all kinds of ideas and talents, living life and wanting to tell others about what is going on. Almost weird, but not quite. <BR/><BR/>I could NOT imagine where the hairspray came from in the above comment to save my soul. Obviously, a case of mistaken identity, then I went to her blog and found the art world personified, and you giving lessons in the adhesive powers of hairspray and art. <BR/><BR/>Multi-talented, huh.

I've also used matte clear coat spray on sealer as well. I've been taking the easy way out lately and just layering the top papers and using the matte gel on the very last sheet to adhere to the plate! Thank you so much for your advice though...I think I need to buy Aquanet or something cheap to try the technique again.

No, I'm not trying to be political, just wanting to re-remind people that America is the best nation on earth, and if you don't believe it, go live somewhere else, and you'll find out just how good we've got it.KANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399871546986361426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-79006769031130323632008-07-04T14:01:00.000-07:002008-07-04T14:01:00.000-07:00Curious Servant, I have been out of touch a little...Curious Servant, I have been out of touch a little while helping my sister thru her tragedy, but I am back now.
