Mama Vi doesn't like T.V. She's not one to sit still for any length of time. And if she IS sitting she's still doing something. Never waste a moment. They are all too precious - that's her motto.
Anyway - back to the T.V. thing. About the only programs she enjoys watching are the home improvement/arts & crafts shows. So....we've had the HGTV channel on loop here since just after Thanksgiving. All day, every day.
When it's just me, I have FOX News on. I don't listen to talk radio, I don't get the papers - I watch FOX News and read blogs. Period.
So....haven't been watching FOX. Have been skimming blogs due due to time constraints. I feel like I'm back in the Dark Ages. I'm completely out of touch. Not something I'm used to.
I didn't know about the blast in Mosul. I first read about it last night.
Smash shares a link (that I have added to my blogrol)l to Chaplin Lewis, who was there to tend to our Hero's, offering support and comfort.
Lex tells us about the empty chair. (beautiful)
I cry today. My prayers go to those wounded men and women, the families of those lost and wounded, those left to carry on.
I searched for some kind of comfort. SOMETHING. I have to admit, it's hard to find right now.
Here is my prayer....
Psalm 23
taken from the New American Standard Bible
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
Thou hast anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Amen
