7 December 1941

Today is my grandfathers T.L. Griffin's birthday. When you ask him what birthday he remembers the most, he will always answer the day I turned 17. He remembers exactly where he was when he heard the news. 7th December 1941 over 2,000 men lost their life, and many many more waited 24 hours and enlisted on the following Monday. We cannot forget the sacrifices these hero's made for us. So we can live free, have the freedom of speech and the opportunity to blog whatever we want.

I am very proud to be an American, and I won't forget....

The real REASON for this Wonderful Season!!

Its Christmas time, the most blessed time of year, because

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, and the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14

Jesus birth is what we celebrate..the sheer sobering Understanding that JESUS came to earth so that we might have life!! Its beautiful, lovely and totally breathtaking that HE loves each of us that much! That he would leave his heavenly paradise to dwell with mortal man. To give us the key for our future on those golden streets; the opportunity to sit at HIS feet for all of eternity, and all we have to do is accept HIM as our Savior and love him, serve him, and walk by faith everyday. We truly do serve an remarkable Lord!!!

So merry CHRISTmas everyone!!! Have a wonderful day in HIM!!!
