A day when many knew they would die, but they went anyways. They did because the believed what they were fighting for was a cause greater than themselves. This is why we call them the “Greatest Generation”. God Bless them all.

Distance
The thought of us being apart
Wears upon my fragile heart
But I know no matter how hard it may be
It will always be you and me
Our hearts will always be mended as one
Until our days on earth are done
The flame within our hearts will burn bright
Whatever the distance between us two
My heart will only beat for you
When loneliness becomes overbearing
Look upon the skies and stars we are sharing
Call my name upon the wind
With our souls intertwined
Answering back with a whisper between our souls
Sending my love back to you

The results are in!
Well, as many of you know, I have been participating in the Whole30 program over the last month. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it’s a diet program which mainly consists of eating fruits, vegetables, and meat for 30 days.
It worked so well for my family and I that we have decided to continue eating this way on a regular basis. We all feel so much healthier and have a lot more energy. My husband had been dealing with skin rashes for over a year now, and those have been completely eliminated. And I had been suffering from lifelong digestive issues, and have found that I am free of the issues I used to have. But just to give you a little more in-depth knowledge before you go and jump on the bandwagon, I wanted to give you some pros and cons for this diet…

Upon A Cloud
Tell me what the sound a cloud makes
Let me know what it takes
To find where it begins and where it ends
What that journey they make intends
As I watch them pass me by
Wishing to myself I could fly
Free as they float across the sky
Seeing all that lies below
Oh how I wish I could go
Over the trees and above the mountains
A soul set free to see all of God’s creation below

Friday Funnies (Serious) – Red Buttons – Pledge of Allegiance
In honor of Memorial Day, something a bit different. An oldie but a goodie. Very powerful and very meaningful for someone who has spent most of their adult life serving this country that I love. Enjoy.
Tuesday Tunes – Def Leppard “Rock of Ages”
Being a teenager in the 80’s when music Videos were making their start. MTv was actually showing music videos. My first really favorite band from this time was Def Leppard. They were the first concert I got to see when I was 13 with my best friend Dan. Hope you enjoy this look back at my music I grew up with. #TuesdayTunes
Far Away
Darkness as black as coal
Stars shimmer as the only light
A lonely outpost in the vast mountains
All around the enemy lurks in the dark
Plotting and planning to kill and destroy
Inside thoughts are thousands of miles away
Restless sleep as dreams of loved ones abound
Thinking of a wife, child or parents back home
Fear is a feeling that they hold down deep
Brothers in arms they must trust each other to survive
While outside the enemy plots to lay waste to their lives
A flash of light, an explosion rocks the night
Gunfire, rockets, bombs all around
The thoughts of country and home go away
Only thing that matters now is your brother on your left and right
The enemy comes wave after wave
Those dreams of home drift so far away
Seconds become minutes, minutes become hours
Fear and adrenaline rush through their veins
Explosions and shots all around
The fight for survival rules this ground
Silent prayers to God abound
Lord keep me safe and let me see my loved ones again
The enemy comes closer and closer, rage and hate in their hearts
The battle goes on through the night
Waiting for the vestiges of first light
Men cry out in anguish and pain
Unknown who will live and who will die
Loved ones back home awake from their dreams
Feeling an anguish at the gasp of a last breathe
Hearts once attached awake
Broken apart sensing their loss
Tears fall and bodies give out knowing their soldiers light has gone out.
Re-posted in honor of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in duty to their country and the families who have dealt with that sacrifice. May God bring you peace.
Remembrance to all who have fallen in duty to our country on this Memorial Day.
Hand in Hand
The future is an uncertain mystery
We want to be able to control every aspect
Thinking we know all that comes next
But one day we are here and the next we are not
So as our future together is full of fright
Wishing we will always walk in the light
I know that there will be days full of rain
As long as I’m with you I will not be strained
For my future is with you that is all I know
Wherever that journey takes us we will go
With God as our guide
And you by my side
Hand in hand we will go forth
Whether it by East, West, North or South
