I can't believe this is happening

Who I'd Like to Meet

-Ronald Reagan--it's just not fair that I never got to see him while he was the president!






All great change in America begins at the dinner table. Ronald Reagan




Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement. Ronald Reagan




But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret. Ronald Reagan




Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan




Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. Ronald Reagan




I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress. Ronald Reagan





-C.S. Lewis--I know there are so many things I could learn from him.





Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis




Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. C. S. Lewis




Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. C. S. Lewis




Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C. S. Lewis




God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. C. S. Lewis




I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis




If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. C. S. Lewis




If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. C. S. Lewis




It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one. C. S. Lewis

So I've told you who I'd like to meet--who would YOU like to meet? [Specifically, someone famous but they can be dead or alive.]

women/fashion of the 1920's

It's just misc. women showing off their clothes in the 1920's shown to 1920's music. I thought it was kind of interesting to see.

Here's another one--a little more funny but longer, too.

The "You Cannots"

Here are some interesting and wise statements. They were originally accredited to Abraham Lincoln but were actually not by him, though I think they're full of common sense [see link]. Please, read them [it won't take long].

1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
3. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
4. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
5. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
6. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
7. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
9. You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
10. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.

Interesting Quote...

It's from Sir Winston Churchill. Though it was said many years ago, I think it has EVERYTHING to do with what's happening right now--just pay attention and you will know.

"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."
Sir Winston Churchill
