Flashback Friday: Break My Stride

 

 

 

 

 Imagine being strapped to a table with your head wrapped like a cocoon
and told you must hold absolutely still for over 15 minutes.  In addition to
loud and strange vibrations emitting through the cocoon around my head,
a hospital MRI technician played music over a loud speaker to help
me remain calm.  This is what happened to me on the day
  I was admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke.

The MRI not only revealed compelling evidence of a TIA (Transient
Ischemic Attack) on the left side of my brain, but, I once more 
 became acquainted with the upbeat lyrics of a quirky, one-hit 
wonder song that I had not heard in a long time.

Released in August, 1983 by American recording artist Matthew Wilder,
"Break My Stride" became a major hit worldwide for him late that year.

The song reached number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January and
 February, 1984 and remained at the number 2 position on the US Cash Box 
chart for two weeks in early February, 1984.

Friday Focus: What You're Not Supposed To Know About America's Founding

 

 

 "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."
-President Ronald Reagan

🎂 A Birthday Salute to one of the greatest American leaders of all time!🎂
 

How I miss The Gipper these days!

"Our greatest treasure as a nation is our precious moral heritage; the basic values of
faith and family that makes ours a great nation. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the
family is the bedrock of America." 

 

 "As Americans, we know that freedom is as much a part of us as our blood.
It's not a commodity. It can't be bought, can't be sold, and it can't be bartered away."

 

 "We continue to enjoy our freedom because of those brave Americans among us
who have legitimately taken up arms in the service of their country, protecting
and defending the United States of America."

Ronald Wilson Reagan
(February 6, 1911-June 5, 2204)
40th President of the United States of America

Thursday's Thoughts: I Will Exalt You My God And My King

 

 

 

 Psalm 145 exalts the greatness, compassion, and righteousness of God.  Recounting
His mighty acts and His faithful and loving nature,  this song of David reflects the
deeply personal connection between the psalmist and God and offers the reader
 valuable insight into David's heart, praising God in all circumstances.

"Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these?  He leads forth the starry host
by number; He calls each one by name.  Because of His great power and mighty 
 strength not one of them is missing."-Isaiah 40:26

.

 

I will exalt You, my God and King;

I will bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will Bless You,

and I will praise Your name forever and ever. 

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;

His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation will commend Your works to the next,

and will proclaim Your mighty acts- 

the glorious splendor of Your majesty. 

And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds,

and I will declare Your greatness. 

They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness

and sing joyfully of Your righteousness. 

The LORD is gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. 

The LORD is good to all;

His compassion rests on all He has made.

All You have made will give thanks, O LORD,

and Your saints will bless You. 

They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom

and speak of Your might,

to make known to men Your mighty acts

and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom. 

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and Your dominion endures through all generations.

The LORD is faithful in all His words

and kind in His actions. 

The LORD upholds all who fall

and lifts up all who are bowed down. 

The eyes of all look to You,

and You give them their food in season.

You open Your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 

The LORD is righteous in all His ways

and kind in all His deeds.

The LORD is near to all who call on Him,

to all who call out to Him in truth. 

He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;

He hears their cry and saves them.

The LORD preserves all who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy.

My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD;

Let every creature bless His holy name

forever and ever.
