This ain't no rag it's a flag ~Charlie Daniels Band

There are no words. I am so upset about this that I can't write any more.

Someone can kill Americans, set their bodies on fire, drag them through the streets and hang them for the world to see......and the mastermind behind it gets punched in the face and now US Navy Seals are on trial. Wow.

WAKE UP AMERICA! How would everyone like to see their children's dead bodies set on fire and dragged through the street??? You wouldn't punch the guy in the face? Nope. We'll just let him go free. It's okay. Terrorists are our friends, right? We need to make sure they have better rights than our own Navy Seals.

Wow.

I'm just about to cry. This breaks my heart America.



These lyrics explain it all.

This ain't no rag it's a flag
And we don't wear it on our heads
It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live
Are you listening to what I said
You're a coward and a fool
And you broke all of the rules
And you wounded our American pride

And now we're coming with a gun
And we know you're gonna run
But you can't find no place to hide
We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound
Make you pay for the lives you stole
We're all through talking and a messing around
And now it's time to rock and roll

These colors don't run and we're speaking as one
When we say united we stand
When you mess with one, you mess with us all
Every boy, girl, woman and man
You've been acting mighty rash
And talking that trash
Let me give you some advice
You can crawl back in your hole
Like a dirty little mole

But now you're gonna pay the price
You might of shot us in the back
Now you have to face the fact
That the big boys' in the game
And the lightning's been flashing
And the thunder's been crashing
And now it's getting ready to rain

This is the United States of America
The land of the brave and the free
We believe in God and we believe in justice
We believe in liberty
You've been pulling our chain
We should've done something 'bout you a long time ago
But now the flag's flying high and the fur's gonna fly
And soon the whole world's gonna know

This ain't no rag, it's a flag
Old Glory red, white and blue
The stars and the stripes when it comes to a fight
We can do what we have to do
Our people stand proud
The American crowd is faithful, loyal and tough
We're good as the best and better than the rest
And you're gonna find out soon enough
When you look up in the sky
And you see the eagle fly
You better know he's a heading your way
Cause this ain't no rag it's a flag
And it stands for the USA
USA
USA
USA

This is the United States of America
The land of the brave and the free
We believe in God and we believe in justice
We believe in liberty
You've been pulling our chain
We should've done something 'bout you a long time ago
But now the flag's flying high and the fur's gonna fly
And soon the whole world's gonna know

The horizon has been defeated by the pirates of the new age. - Jack Johnson, The Horizon Has Been Defeated

....not in this sense though. You all remember the ship that was attacked and held hostage by pirates earlier? Ya, well they got attacked again......but shot back! booya! I love it.

Only two more shifts and then my sister comes into town! I don't hate work though! yay!

Transparent? Haha.

So, there are jobs being saved in non existant congressional sections all over the us. Interesting. Millions of dollars going to what?? Here's one example:

But, it's allll over. Not just New Mexico. I'm so glad I got out of dc alive. That city is full of absolute evil people. Wow.

Alrighty, gotta get in to work!

There's no exit in any direction, except the one that you can't see with your eyes. - Bob Dylan, Series Of Dreams

I was just thinking today about how hard it is to let go and trust something. We talked about this in church today. it is very hard for us to trust. Other people, God, etc. I kind of relate it to my GPS. In dc, I knew a certain way to get to the airport through downtown along the Potomac. Well, one night I left to go pick my dad up. Now, I had my GPS set up, but I knew which way i wanted to go. It kept instructing me to bypass the interstate and go through Georgetown! Heck no. All those traffic lights? No way. Even though my GPS has a traffic thing on it to warn me of slow traffic and it kept redirecting me, I didn't listen. I kept on my track I knew. it was at night, dark and rainy. I wanted to go the way I knew! Well, I got on the interstate and dealt with traffic and then went down Cabin John Parkway until we all of a sudden came to a complete stop and there was a line of cars! Well, little did I know, that this road was blocked from traffic into the city during certain hours. I had taken it before, but it wasn't in the evening rush hour. SOO, I was going to have to figure out a way around. Well, when I got up to being second in line to go around the detour, some cops drove through and opened up the road. Hallelujah! I had some other obstacles and my dad had to wait a little at the airport, but it taught me a lesson. Just listen to the GPS. You bought it for a reason and it can see everywhere.

The same is true with God. he could keep telling me over and over to go a certain way and he would keep saying "recalculating" and show me other options to get where He wanted me to go. I would continue to be stubborn and go my way into a big ole mess. He probably wishes some time that he had a whale that could swallow me up and take me to where He wanted me to go. I'm kinda glad that hasn't had to happen!

God's taken good care of me. I really think that this is where He wants me. At least, I'll just keep doing this until some other door opens up that He wants me to take.

I am so happy about my move to Florida. I've been so stress free after moving here! The sun shines all the time. People are so friendly. The hospital is much slower and I don't dread going to work. I had one patient the other day and got to sit in on rounds with the docs and take the whole day to dedicate to really understand what was going on with this patient. If I had been on my med/surg floor, I would have had her with her complicated medical issues and 5 other patients. I don't know how I used to do it.
I think I may start to like Florida a little more than Texas......no wait. I still love Texas with my heart and soul, but this place ain't much worse! I def don't miss home as much. It already feels like home here. Now, to just get mom and dad to move here. hehe. :)

Right. So, anyways. Trust God. He knows what He's doing.

Proverbs 3:5 & 6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Psalm 32:8 - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

All my single ladies!

Just gonna complain for a minute. I was going through and reading up on friends blogs and I noticed a few of them had these cute little "tickers" and thought...well, I don't have a kid and I'm not married, but I can count how long I've been an officer in the Navy! SOOOO, I go to their website http://lilypie.com/ and my options are "pregnancy", "baby, kids and birthday", "trying to conceive", "adoption", "breastfeeding" (OK! No clue why you would ever want a ticker for that...but some people just feel like telling the world every minute of their life), "memorial", "anniversary", "wedding", "vacation", "pets".

LAME! No single girl tickers? What about "last glass of wine" ticker or "stayed out all night because I didn't have anyone to answer to" ticker orrrrr "I spend my money the way I want because it's MY money I earned to play with" ticker....


Seriously? A "breastfeeding" ticker? Some people really need a life.....


Then, I go to try and find a "military blinkie" at this site http://www.free-blinkies.com/blinkies/Military/ and they're all like "I lovvvveee my soldier" and "Airborne's Girlfriend" and my favorite "Army wives do it with hooah" (hahahaha). Seriously. No blinkies like "I kick a** because I'm a sailor" or "Ya, I'm a woman, but I still serve" or "No, my boyfriend/husband/fiance isn't military, I am!"?

Lame.
