A Day Of Peace And Quiet..?!

The day after Christmas...and it falls on a Saturday!

I have to admit that I got into the whole celebrating thing more than I have in years! Believe it or not, I had a great deal of fun for a grouchy old man!

However, now the fun part is over...at least, for those of us that must keep watch on all things about us!

As the children get fully acquainted with all the new toys, books, and games...then we must become more focused on the toys of our enemies, the books being doctored by the nefarious accounting persons in the head offices in D.C., and on the very dangerous games being played out by those that would take advantage of our peaceful state of mind and the uncaring nature of our so-called "leaders"!

As we worshiped and remembered the birth of the Prince of Peace...there were those in this world that would once again attempt to work their foul deeds on American soil.

I fear that if the planning and skill of these would be terrorists ever catch up to their desire to spread fear and destruction, then we are in for some terrible times!

We must be vigilant and on constant guard more now than ever before. Look not to the government to be adequate protection. Look not to others to protect hearth and home, but depend upon the tried and true skills and common sense steps we talk about all the time!

We must create our own peace of mind, fortify our own defenses, and guarantee our own time of quiet security!

The time for us to fiercely prepare is upon us in full force...and there is more at stake than we may know!

Now, my friends, let's get some coffee and sit in the kitchen for a bit! Enjoy the slower pace while it last, for it may not last very long!
