Remembrance Day--Lest We Forget

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 11, 2009, 10:04 AM
November 11, 1918

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, Armistice was reached, bringing WWI to a close. It is on this day at this time that we show our gratitude and honor the hundreds of thousands of brave Canadian soldiers who fought selflessly for their country and its citizens.
Without their gallant efforts, we may be still living under a Hitler regieme, opression, or many other horrors that they fought to prevent.

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

-Lietenant John McCrae, MD

Love isn't a decision, it's a feeling. If we could decide who we love, it would be much simpler, but much less magical.

Thanks for checking out my stuff again!

The main reason I commented on your page was to sincerely tell you about Jesus Christ. I can't believe I was such a coward to not tell you this for so many weeks. I should have been more willing not just to tell you my beliefs but to give you an opportunity to talk about your own. If you want to, we can have an open and positive discussion about what we believe and why. I think that it would help us understand eachother's beliefs better. I'm open to a discussion. It would be a lot more construtive then me spamming arguments all your page. Do you want to?

"Some say the world will end in fire,some say in ice.
From what ive tasted of desire i hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think i know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great And would suffice"-Robert Frost
