This Is What Love Looks Like

by

While I’ve given the secular world it’s due, I’d be remiss in not mentioning that today is actually the Feast day of  Sts. Cyril and Methodius, not St. Valentine.  These brothers of the ninth century loved Christ,  His Church and the Slavic peoples.  They heroically endured the politics of their day.  Do you think the political storms of our day might actually challenge us to end as saints?

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness”

“When I am weak, then I am strong” (2Cor 12:9-10)

This is what real love looks like.

Foundational Basics

Today is about more than hearts and flowers.  Everybody knows it’s crunch time for the U.S.A.  When things get really bad,  the American people have a way of getting back to basics.  The basics start with the foundational underpinnings of our Nation.  Ronald Reagan got it right!  Others, it seems, don’t like the founding fundamentals   They hope for changes that will create an America no one will recognize as America.    Texas Rainmaker and the Anchoress spell it out.

Reagan and Obama in their own words.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everybody!

by

Are you ready for today?  Scads of you probably aren’t, and will be scurrying around for those quick and easy Valentine bouquets at the supermarket.  As a woman, I can tell you, they work just fine.  This year buying them will also give the economy some much needed love $$$$.

Remembering last year, still conjures up a smile and warm fuzzies.  It wasn’t a valentine that came my way, but a sight that cheered many.  A young man in a tuxedo sang love songs, his music blasting into the  parking lot, as he sold Valentine bouquets out of a van.  Mostly men helped him do a bang-up business.  The women hung around or were smiling as they passed.  Ah, the human spirit.  Ah, the entrepreneurial spirit.  Hope I spot him again today.  Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
