IT'S VETERANS DAY

The 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, was supposed to the end of the war to end all wars.  Well so much for that!  So this day is set aside to honor all who have and do serve our country in the military.  I thank you for your service in protecting the freedoms we have and share.

As a child, on this day my father, who was a navy Veteran of WWI and I always put the flag out front of our house.  It was a tradition I have continued.  Though in an apartment its a garden flag.  

To all the Veterans,  I thank you

Ah peace once again, the elections are over, I hope your candidates won.   

Monday Medley: Let It Be

Today I feature another song sung by John Legend (I am a fan)  but also Alicia Keys.  They sang this together at the tribute for the Beatles.  There is significance to this song, in the words,  "whispering words of wisdom Let it be"  Do you have something in your life, your heart and mind today or this week you should just let it be? 

Phil 4:6-7   "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be known to God, and the peace of God which we cannot comprehend will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus our Lord"  

My paraphrase,  Worry about nothing, prayer instead and give it to the father, and ho do thoughe will give you peace.  Another way of saying it...give it to God and let it be.

That is not always easy to do though. You just do it as much as you have to in order to let it be.

Monday Medley: John Legend - Made to Love

We were made to love, such a truism! Love is the most important thing in life.  Love for God, he created love. Love of family, friends, love for a life partner.  This is why I think marriage for same sex couples who wish to be married is so important. It is one of the greatest expressions of love on earth. 

For Ottowa

Today a tragedy occurred.  A terrorist act took the life of a soldier serving his country. The relative calm and security of a government building was shattered.  I write here tonight to say that I am praying for Canada, and all those who are victims of terrorists

Please join me in remembering and praying!

Monday Medley: Song of Faith, Newsboys - We Believe (Live From Ocean Way)

An appropriate song for the Monday after Communion Sunday for many. I love this group and the music they create!

Monday Medley: Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

What ever it is shake it off!

Monday Medley: Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

There seems  to be a controversy around this song.  Some say Meghan is bullying skinny girls.  Personally I don't see it that way, the message I hear is everyone is attractive.  So I featured this song today for that reason.
