Caylee Anthony, She Deserved So much Better from her Family (Casey, Cindy, George & Lee Anthony) Eventually She Was Saved by her Father at Christmas

A Christmas Gift in Heaven … Caylee Anthony’s Unconditional Love.

A special Christmas wish to Caylee Anthony and all missing children during this Christmas season. In the end the little girl who had no father listed on her birth certificate; it was her Father who cared the most and her Father who brought her home for Christmas.

Caylee Anthony

Christmas is supposed to be a time for giving, a time for thinking and doing for others, peace on earth and good will, and most importantly a time for children. Why especially a time for children? Of course there is nothing more special than to see a child’s reaction on Christmas day when they first come upon the sight of a decorated Christmas tree with lights, ornaments and presents beneath. The look of joy can never be described in words but can only be felt in one’s heart.  However, maybe its about a lot more when it comes to children … as it is the reason for the season as God steps in to right man’s wrongs and reminds us that Christ was born.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Caylee Anthony deserved so much more in her life here on this earth than she received. Caylee Anthony deserved a mother who cared more about her than of herself. Caylee Anthony deserved grandparents who cared more about finding her and bringing her home than they did protecting their daughter and their dysfunctional family. Caylee deserved a protecting uncle. Caylee deserved people who she was surrounded by to care enough to actually question where she might be rather than being caught up selfishly in their own lives. A two year old child is dependent on those around them and shame on them all for not caring enough to do so. In the end, it was her Father who cared most.

It is at least it is reassuring to know that she is in a much better place today with her Father. Gone is the pain and heartache of human selfishness, hate, anger, envy, ignorance and want. The Caylee Anthony story provides so many with questions of how could anyone do this to such a sweet, young, innocent girl. Life’s lesson to Caylee’s legacy is to love your children, cherish them as they are never supposed to be a burden to you, they are your greatest treasure. Caylee Anthony will forever know the true love that she should have experienced here on earth. Her unconditional love that she gave to those around her will now be reciprocated in more ways than she could ever dream. Caylee will experience eternal love and be at peace.

Favorite All Time Non-Religious Christmas Songs … TV Specials and Others

They just don’t make Christmas specials like they used to. Whether it be Rudolph the red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, The Grinch who Stole Christmas, Santa Claus is Coming to Town or A Charlie Brown Christmas, all were made from 1964 to 1970. All of these specials are timeless.

The music from these Christmas specials stick in your head all day. Whether it be Put One Foot in Front of the Other, Frosty the Snowman, Silver & Gold, or Hermey and Rudolph being “independent together” singing Couple of Misfits.

My personal favorite non-religious song of all times is Snoopy’s Christmas, Snoopy vs, the Red Baron. I believe I just dated myself. Tell us yours.

 #1: Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (Snoopy’s Christmas) by the Royal Guardsmen

 
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man
 
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the right
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out “Merry Christmas, my friend!”
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy our hero saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they’d meet on some other day

How Offensive, Nothing Says Merry Christmas Like Playboy and a Nude Virgin Mary Cover Controversy

More on the war on Christmas … Mexican Playboy magazine style.

In the PC, do not offend anyone world we live in  …we cannot say Merry Christmas and Playboy_mexico_virgin_mary2honor the birth of Christ but somehow “porn and religion” are supposed to be acceptable. How is it even considered, ok and free speech for Mexican Playboy magazine to have a picture of a naked Virgin Mary on their December cover? Just how  insulting can one possibly be to Christians and Mexicans? Some how this is supposed to be provocative and cute. The December issue published only days before a major Mexican festival dedicated to the mother of Jesus, The Virgin of Guadalupe.

Imagine, just imagine if Playboy depicted a male model of a naked Muhammad on their cover along with some female virgins. Muslims went nuts over a cartoon, imagine what would take place with a life-like mockery.

The December issue features model Maria Florencia Onori posing as the Virgin wearing nothing but an angelic white cloth.

The release was timed for the day before Mexico’s traditional Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a celebration of an apparition of the Virgin in the town.

Its headline reads in Spanish: “We adore you, Mary.”

How offensive are things supposed to get before the moral majority stands up and takes Christmas back? As stated in “The Week,” this is offensive to all … “As a guy who is indifferent about religion, even I find this offensive”

The War on Christmas Continues … School Choir Forced to Withdraw from Christmas Event Because Carols Too Religious

Let us never forget what Christmas is about and never let other tell us how we are to celebrate it or censor it.

CHRISTMAS … What part of Christmas do people in England not understand that Christmas  Christmas_GSis all about “Christ” and the fact that it is a religious holiday. Not maybe it’s a religious holiday, it is a religious holiday. The second most Holy day of the year. Imagine being invited to sing Christmas carols and being told your carols are too religious. This occurred in England; however, I am sure there are many schools in the United States these days that would do the same.

Gospel of Luke, verses 8 through 14:

“’8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’

However, this is not the case in the never ending war on Christmas. Imagine being a part of a choir and being chosen to participate and sing Christmas carols as part of the Christmas Winter Festival. Then imagine being forced to withdraw as you are told that your Christmas carols are “too religious”.

A school choir was forced to withdraw from a Christmas event because organisers branded its carols ‘too religious’.
Around 60 children aged between seven and 11 had spent six weeks practising favourites including Once In Royal David’s City and Silent Night for the Corringham Winter Festival.
But they were let down at the last minute when their headteacher was informed their programme did not ‘dovetail’ with the festival’s theme.

What was the Christmas festivals theme, secular commercialism? Seriously, this school was asked to sing Christmas carols and then told that they were too religious. How dare they sing a religious carol to celebrate the birth of Christ. Heaven forbid they be allowed to sing, Joy to the World, Silent Night, Angles We Have Heard on High, Oh Come All Ye Faithful,    Gloria in Exelsis Deo, Away in a Manager, and most important of all …  Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Remembering Pearl Harbor … December 7, 1941 … Thank You to the Greatest Generation

DO NOT EVER FORGET PEARL HARBOR AND ALL THOSE LOST ON THAT FATEFUL DAY

Pearl harbor

Take time today to remember December 7, 1941 … a date that will live in infamy. For if we do not remember the past we are destine to repeat history. World War II veterans and others observers will commemorate the 67th anniversary of the devastating and infamous Japanese military raid on Pearl Harbor. The theme of the event  is “Pacific War Memories: The Heroic Response to Pearl Harbor.” 

Pearl_harbor_2008

Please take time to thank the brave men and women of our countries “Greatest Generation”, as sadly due to death and disability we are losing them every day. So many sacrificed and gave their lives against the evils of their day so that we could be free today. Always remember, FREEDOM is never free. To those that made the greatest sacrifice thank you and you are always in our prayers.

Go to the Volokh Conspiracy to see a fantastic remembrance of Pearl Harbor as they visited Hawaii to celebrate their own anniversary.

I write this as I look out my 29th floor hotel room in the direction of Pearl Harbor. My wife and I came to Oahu, Hawaii to celebrate our 29th anniversary on December 2nd. Although it is a coincidence that we are still here on December 7th, it still feels eerie.

 

Some of the “Greatest Generation” below reuniting for Pearl Harbor ceremonies.

December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy from President FDR’s address on December 8, 1941.

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.
