724 Viewings as of 9/12/17 Featured 5/30/13 in Southern-Style: A Downhome Perspective My ladyfriend recently gave a reprise performance of her remarks from the Spring Hill Baptist Church Bicentennial to one of its previous ministers and his wife in their home, because they had been unable to travel to the actual event. During this act of kindness and friendship for a couple who have graciously supported her throughout the years, the minister whispered to my ladyfriend that her presentation was "a visit from an angel". That has been my perception throughout our nearly five years together. Thank you, Darling!

Featured 6/14/14 in Bryce and Beyond As an interior decorator for medieval castles, everywhere I go people ask me "What can I do to make my dungeon less dark and dreary?". Now I will admit, at first I found this quite a challenge. Neither color splotches, decorative throw pillows from RedBubble, nor even track lighting fixtures were going to help in these "pits of despair". Then one night whilst driving past a work crew on the mainland highway, the answer came to me in a blinding light: What if we installed road side work lighting in the dungeon? A little internet research led me straightaway to the MultiQuip GBC Cart-Mounted GloBug Balloon System, which features a 1,000 watt Metal Halide Lamp generating a Total Luminous Flux of 107,...

Please ignore who sponsors this video, and try to just hear and understand the idea that in forgiving others, no matter what their actions may have done to us, we gain an invaluable gift of peace and love. In so doing, we may lighten the burden of guilt for the offender, and release our own feelings of hostility, which are a burden too heavy to carry for any great length of time. youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7zwQ_7q-fU
