Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your
fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two.
There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so just wait your turn.
Take your cleats and socks off to get a real experience.
Then, take a knee on the beach in Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach,
even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces, the very sea stained with American blood.
The only blockers most had were the dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.
Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. From Khe Sanh to Saigon, anywhere will do.
Americans died in all those jungles. There was no playbook that told them what was next,
but they knew what flag they represented.
When they came home, they were protested as well, and spit on for reasons only cowards know.
Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree heat.
... Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress. Your number won't be printed on it unless your number is up!
You'll need to stay hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your own!!!.

There are a lot of places to take a knee where Americans have given their lives all over the world.
When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure,
you dishonor the memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean.
It represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your liberty.
While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a manicured lawn
striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of ground taken,
but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains,
every inch marked by an American life lost serving that flag you protest.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans, just American men and women,
delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us,
blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee."

You haven't any inkling of what it took to get you where you are,
but your "protest" is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes,
it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you
under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is retired.

If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel
before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for preserving this country for as long as He has.
We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us.
We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom.
We'll pray for liberty and justice for all, because He is the one who provides those things.
But there will be NO protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His
continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

🔸This story tells of two friends who were walking through the desert. At some point in the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE." They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from nearly drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
... The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you write on a stone... why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it in sand... where the winds of forgiveness can erase it from view. But, when someone does something good for us, we should engrave it in stone... where no wind can ever remove it."

🔸I went to see a friend today, A friend I had not seen Since he was in his twenties And I was still a teen, We were both inseparable then, See one you’d see the other Sharing everything we did, He was like a brother, But as so often happens, Too soon there came the day, When he decided to remain And I to move away, We wished each other good luck,Recalled good times we’d shared, Said that we would keep in touch See how each other fared, But of course that didn’t happen The days just came and went, No phone calls were ever made No greetings ever sent, How quickly the time passes And friendships start to dim, Although we went our separate ways I often thought of him, I wondered how he looked today How he had weathered life Did he still live in our old home town,Did he ever take a wife, One day I got a letter, And when I looked inside I read I regret to inform you That your friend has died..*I went to see a friend today As I’ve often said I would, To visit for a little while My promise to make good, I wish that I could tell him How bad I feel that I Never took the time to say hello Before I had to say goodbye.

✨Friendships are precious. Be sure to take some time to visit the people that are special in your life.

🔹 This multi-award winning short film shows us that in the near future, our legacy forces marine wildlife to adapt to there surroundings with unimaginable consequences. Hybrids is set in the oceanic depths, revealing the brutality of survival and the catastrophic effects of the pollution on our environment.

🔹When marine wildlife has to adapt to the pollution surrounding it......The rules of survival change.
🔹What you’re seeing looks real......Because it’s almost real in our world

🔹This is precisely why Hybrids is so impactful – it feels unsettlingly real. The aesthetic here is cleverly designed to imitate life, but seen through a twisted, hostile lens which inevitably hits home and leaves you wondering ‘is this all to come’? The ingenious character and sound design do a brilliant job of seamlessly blending the organic with the synthetic, tricking our eyes and ears into buying this dark vision of the future.

A knight was about to leave to fight in the Holy Crusades, but before leaving he made his wife put on a chastity belt.
After tightly securing it to her, he handed the key to his best friend with the instruction, "If I do not return within seven years, unlock my wife and set her free to lead a normal life."
The knight then rode off on the first leg of his journey to the Holy Land, but he had only traveled barely a short way when he was suddenly aware of the sound of pounding hooves behind him.
He turned to see that it was his best friend.
"What's the problem?" asked the knight.
His best friend replied, "It's the wrong key."

★Perfect sense for children
In a Catholic school cafeteria, a nun places a note in front of a bowl of apples, saying: “Only take one. God is watching.” Further down the line is a pile of cookies. A little boy makes his own note: “Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

★A wife complains to her husband: “Just look at that couple down the road, how lovely they are. He keeps holding her hand, kissing her, holding the door for her, why can’t you do the same?”..The husband: “Are you mad? I barely know that woman!”

★The DNA Test
After 3 years, a wife starts to think that their child looks different, so she decides to do a DNA test. She finds out that the child is actually from completely different parents.
Wife: "Honey, I have something very serious to tell you."
... Husband: "What's wrong?"
Wife: "According to DNA test results, this is not our child."
Husband: "Well don't you remember? When we were leaving the hospital, we noticed that our baby had a wet diaper and you said, 'Honey, go change the baby, I'll wait for you here'."

★ID ten Terror
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called David, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.
David clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?"
He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."
I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An ID Ten T error?
What's that? In case I need to fix it again."
David grinned, "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"
"No", I replied.
"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T
I used to like that little boy.
