Standing Down On Those Things That Steal The Love Heart Energy Of Our Land, Children, People and World
Dear All One Family:
I realize in my break down and wake up call as to rather I had wasted my time on the people, and health systems in place that help keep the people in this part of country, sick and depended on the medical professions in this area and all I got to say is this, I don't regret one minute of it for it was what God/Jesus and Holy Spirit lead me to do and like I stated before, all those that were given a taste of my Divine guided mission of preventative health care change focus...the lucky ones and rather they threw me to the wolves or the dogs while I was a passing through these parts...for almost twenty years, matters not for I forgive you all, for you obviously didn't know what the heck you were a doing and one day real soon...you will see that my passing away from these parts will leave you with all those that believe that just touching ones body enough to allow relaxation is enough to bring one into balance...and this field will go back to all just being mas sues...and mas sures...and massage just for those pampering moments in time...and not really all that special and definitely not enough to get insurance payments for...ahhhh, a land too resistant to change...a land stuck in yesterday a running off all those that aren't the same as themselves...
I know that I wanted to take a mental change break and just bring forth something my daughter in law sent me that other day...I found it quite special and something I wanted to add in at this point for to me it said something pretty large and important and that is...just because one leads their child to a certain direction and that child when grown and a wanting to make a life changing decision of their own...does that child have the right? Or does the parents and extended family members force that child to stop being so rebellious or face the possibility of extinction from the family?
So now please read the story behind the bugler's song called, "Taps," played at all military burial services...
Pray, Bless and Support Our Military and All Other American Citizens A Serving Our Great Land And A Trying To Make A Difference In The World, here and all over the world...God Bless and Keep You All Safe...
Be Blessed Always
Love, Light and Peace

Let us pray.
Prayer chain for our Military…please don't break it...
Prayer
'Lord, please hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'
Of all the gifts you could give a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine & others deployed in harm's way,
Prayer is the very best one!
The Story About Taps
Here
is something Every American should know. Until I
read this, I didn't know, but I checked it out
and it's true:
Do you know the story behind the song? If
not, I think you will be interested to find out
about its humble beginnings.
Reportedly,
it all began in 1862.
During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of
a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field.
Not knowing if it was a Union
or Confederate soldier, the Captain
decided to risk his life and bring the stricken
man back for medical attention.
Crawling on his
stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached
the stricken soldier and began pulling him
toward his encampment.
When
the Captain finally reached his own lines, he
discovered it was actually a Confederate
soldier, but the soldier was dead.
The
Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his
breath and went numb with shock. In the
dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It
was his own son.
The boy had been studying music
in the South when the war broke out.
Without telling his father, the boy
enlisted in the Confederate Army.
The
following morning, heartbroken, the father asked
permission of his superiors to give his son a
full military burial, despite his enemy status.
His request was only partially granted.
The
Captain had asked if he could have a group of
Army band members play a funeral dirge for his
son at the funeral.
The
request was turned down since the soldier was a
Confederate.
The
Captain chose a bugler. He asked the
bugler to play a series of musical notes he had
found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the
dead youth's uniform.
This
wish was granted.
The
haunting melody, we now know as 'Taps' used
at military
funerals was born.
The
words are:
Day
is done.
Gone
the sun.
From
the lakes
From
the hills.
From
the sky.
All
is well.
Safely
rest.
God
is nigh.
Fading
light.
Dims
the sight.
And
a star.
Gems
the sky.
Gleaming
bright.
From
afar.
Drawing
nigh.
Falls
the night.
Thanks
and praise.
For
our days.
Neath
the sun
Neath
the stars.
Neath
the sky
As
we go.
This
we know.
I
now have an even deeper respect for the song
than I did before.
Also
Please Remember Those Who Have Served
And Returned;
And
For those presently serving in the Armed
Forces.
Be Blessed Always
