Christmas Angels

Sunday, July 10, 2011
Angel comes from the Greek and Hebrew words meaning "messenger." The angels that were a part of the Christmas Story were delivering a message. The angel Gabriel brought news to Mary that she was chosen to bear God's son.



Joseph was told by angels about the child who was to come and not be afraid of having Mary as his wife.





An angel appeared before the shepherds watching over their flocks by night and told them of the birth of Christ in the city of  David.




 And suddenly a multitude of heavenly angels appeared praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.




Angels for most of us represent love, peace and joy. I also believe in Guardian Angels. Reflecting on things that have happened in the past and present, I know I have a guardian angel watching over me. How about you?



Grand Finale

Tuesday, July 5, 2011
OK, I know, two days of fireworks???  Well, that's what we had where I live.  A couple last night and this one tonight, sponsored by one of the local bands of Cahuilla Indians and held at the Fantasy Springs Casino & golf course.  Everyone was parking their cars in vacant lots and bringing out the camp chairs and drinks.  I thought it was a great display and in conjunction with the display, they played music on their radio station to accompany the fireworks.  A nice night was has by all.

Happy Independence Day

Sunday, July 3, 2011
We celebrate Independence Day yet we call it the 4th of July, rarely by it's real name.  We don't call Christmas December 25h Day or Thanksgiving the 4th Thursday in November do we?  Interesting that we seem unable to call this important day in our history by it's true name.  Either way, have a great day.
