I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Wednesday Hero


This Post Was Suggested By Leigh

Almost two weeks ago a tragic event took place in Aurora, Colorado when a gunman walked into a movie theater and began shooting, killing 12 people.  Three of those who were killed were military personnel.


Petty Officer 3rd Class John Larimer was 27 years old and served in the United States Navy.  He was killed protecting his girlfriend from the gunfire.


Staff Sgt. Jesse Childress was 29 years old and served in the United States Air Force Reserves.  He was killed protecting a friend who went with him to the movie.


Jonathan T. Blunk was a Navy veteran who left the service in 2009.  He served three tours in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea between 2004 and 2009 and was a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician.  He died shielding his girlfriend from the gunfire.


These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom.  For that I am proud to call them Hero.
Those Who Say That We're In A Time When There Are No Heroes, They Just Don't Know Where To Look

  1. What a shame. These men were indeed heroes. The shooter on the other hand is a coward.

    Have a terrific day Mike. :)
