Video for Christmas "Sweet Songs of Christmas"

" Sweet songs of Christmas Good will and joy Wise men wonder Who is this boy? Sweet baby Jesus In swaddling clothes Shepherds wonder How blooms this Rose? Hosannas fill the nighttime air Their praises never cease Oh, Gloria in excelsis deo Echoing, echoing peace Sweet sounds of singing Melody so pure Children wonder Will this song endure? Oh,…

wings as eagles

   But they that wait upon the LORD 
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
they shall walk, and not faint.

President Kennedy and the space race

A new movie is coming out in October about Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the moon.  I was thinking about the movie leaving out the planting of the American flag and wondered how this democrat, the late President John F Kennedy would feel about this omission....

His goal was a big dream... and we were in a race with the Soviet Union to put the first man on the moon.
I still remember staying up until 2 AM that morning to watch the first man step foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong -  the rest of the family went to bed at their normal time. My dad always believed this took place in a desert somewhere!  I still remember watching Armstrong, as he stepped on the moon, saying "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" and I remember watching as he planted the flag of the USA on the moon!  It would have been amazing to watch this regardless of what country planted their flag, but the United States was the first.  I just believe that to be an important event in our history. I believe  President Kennedy would have something to say about the new movie if he were alive today.  (He would have been 101 this year!)

In his memory, you can read more about this speech and goal that WAS met by America at todayinsci.com
