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.

Rev. C L Jackson

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.

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!

Sunday Supper in Port Jefferson, New York

 Where do you go in your little corner of the world to have a mini getaway?

I have sea salt in my veins but live 30 minutes from the Long Island Sound ~ a good 60 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean.

There are truly some days my world will stop if I can't smell some good sea salt in my nostrils!

My place to run is the Port Jefferson Ferry  in Bridgeport, Ct 

You catch the ferry in Bridgeport ~ located on the wrong side of the railroad tracks for sure!

You can find some interesting things anywhere though.

We had to park on the street because the parking lot was full only to discover this building ~

The Oldest surviving home in Connecticut built by African Americas.

I never knew this existed !

And this beautiful building that I admire when driving on I~95.

I just love the lettering on this building and what a treat to see it up close!

It is a 90 minute ferry ride across the Long Island Sound to Port Jefferson, New York .

Sometimes I just take the ride there and back without Ever getting off the ferry!

Frank and I like to go over just to have dinner at Danfords ~ a nice Inn near the ferry dock.

That's what we did a few Sundays ago.

There are lots of little shops you can visit and great places to eat but we like this one located right on the water.

Here is the view just as you are approaching Port Jefferson ~

See the Big sand dunes?

 When I was a teen I used to take the ferry and walk an hour along the shore so I could sit on those dunes.

I went alone with my backpack,blanket and diary.

That was a day in heaven for me!

We've arrived at the Port ~ lets take a walk down Main street !

Remember when these Telephone Booths used to be on EVERY corner!

This is a Childrens Maritime Museum near the dock ~

There's Frank ~ walking back to the ferry after a wonderful meal.

If you are lucky ~ you will be treated to a beautiful sunset on the ride home!

Most folks I know in my area never think to take a ferry ride ~ even though it's right in our backyard.

I wonder what you have right outside your back door ~ Be a tourist for the day Right where you live!

To make your Homemade Fries "sea worthy" ~

To make your Lobster, Crabs or Shrimp "sea worthy" ~

To make your Homemade Crab Cakes "sea worthy" ~
