Clutter Is Natural
Nature loves clutter. Just think of all the stuff that drops from trees, washes in on the tide, or is blown by the wind into your backyard. Birds molt, animals shed, snakes slither out of their skin, and they all just leave it lying there to rot...
Hunter and Gatherer
Deep down, we haven't evolved as much as we would like to believe. Like the caveman, we still want to curl up next to someone during the dark of night so that we aren't so alone in the cold survival game. We want to feel safe, warm, and loved...

THE FINAL INSPECTION
Dedicated to the National Guard Soldiers and Troops deployed around the world. Serving Our Country with Pride and Honor. May God bless you and keep you.
Adapted from the original, author unknown
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The Guardsman stood, and faced his God,
We know must come to pass.
He hoped his boots were shining,
As brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
For now I deal with you”
“Have you loved your enemies as yourself?
And to My Church, have you been true?"
"Not in trueness, Lord,
I guess I really ain't.
For freedom fighters must carry guns,
And can't always be a saint.”
I was gone an awful lot of Sundays, Lord
And at times my walk was weak.
Sometimes my orders were ones of violence,
Without the turning of the cheek.
But, I’ve never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Even working overtime,
Because the bills, you know, they got real steep.
But, I’ve never passed one cry for help,
Amidst a hot zone firefight,
Though now my body trembles with fear.
In the presence of your light.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Within your kingdom here.
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep,
And your mercy finds me near.
And should I find a place of rest,
It needn't be so grand.
But if you
turn your face away
That too, My Lord, I understand.
There was a silence around the throne,
Where saints do often trod.
At attention stood the Guardsman,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
For you've borne your burden well.
March peacefully these streets of gold,
You’ve done your tour in hell."
~James Stevens~
Folks, as much as we care to admit it.
It's the Military, not the reporter who has given us the
freedom of the press.
It's the Military, not the poet, who has given
us the freedom of speech.
It's the Military, not the politicians that
ensures your right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the Military who salutes the flag, fights beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
So, if you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the Military,
please pass this along and pray for our men and women who have served and
are currently serving our country. Along with their families who have sacrificed much for the freedoms we all enjoy.
