Susan Boyle – Beauty Beyond Skin-deep
The Anchoress writes: Why Susan Boyle matters so much.
I’ve given it is some thought, too. My take goes like this. We all feel at some level like nobodies in need of affirmation. Some of us live our entire lives trying hard, but unsure even of our successes. I know my strengths, but they are not necessarily in demand. Sometimes, I’m the only one clapping, and then again, I wonder why I bother at all. As long as we’re living, as long as we’re still trying, at least, we are in the game. We haven’t given up. Now, to me, Susan is like Judgment Day. Finally, we find out Someone is aware; Someone notices; Someone is clapping loudly and eternally.
I hope and pray Susan doesn’t get messed up since she is so beautiful just as she is.

Tea – Worth A Thousand Words
They came, not as a mob but as individual citizens, one by one.
They were not the privileged few but the America of old, some tried, some tired, some little noticed, all true. They came, the grateful of the Nation, privileged only in that this Nation keeps them free.
They came, the young, with a touch class and a bit of flash.
They came, the younger still, with hearts and flags and wishes.
They came, determined and undeterred.
Flag- draped and be-signed, they gathered.
With humor and with gravity….
They raised the Nation’s voice.
Eloquent in its simplicity……
Commanding in its brevity!
They came, one by one.
Not without a message….
Not without surity…….
Not without encouragement….
Not without support…….
They gathered, one by one, until they were a people gathered as one.
Really great turn outs and more photos from Michelle Malkin
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 7
Divine Mercy Novena
Day 7
Today bring to Me the Souls who especially venerate and glorify My Mercy,
and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:
Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.
Be Holy!
