Rumsfeld: Military is evolving
By Donald H. Rumsfeld

!!!

Now, on another note: I go offline tonight: Have no idea when I'll be up again. Could be tomorrow. Or the next day.. or the one after that! We've got flurries, ice, and I'm not in a locale of "rapid" technologic innovation.

If I cannot post: Let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Every year, the miracle happens. Every single year. I know Rush hoped we'd all arrive at Christmas -- organically. :)

Yes, it happens. Every single year -- organically. In the week leading up to Christmas, a darkness descends... and gradually the flicker of a flame.. leading up to a bursting of light! It's not just in our hearts, but in our eyes, and the songs of our hearts.

What can I say which isn't going to sound maudlin but that we were guided to move clear across the nation and for reason of ... a baby child. And at every step along the pilgrimmage we found more of our souls and met kindred spirits. Yes, we pilgrimmed with animals. No myrrh or frankincense -- but our personal papers, and that we held most dear and not entrusted to a moving firm. What could we give this child? The greatest gift we could give this child: Family.

You bet I'm writing about my granddaughter. The circumstances surrounding her birth were stressful. But in looking back -- I'm tellin you -- It was snip snap! The house selling, the arrangements -- all of it clicking perfectly. The work was long hours and tedious and demanding -- but every step of the way was without hitches that weren't readily overcome.

My son-in-law's side of the family have been driving through snowstorms from the heartland to greet their new family member -- the baby (and her ma!). And with the same passion and zeal as we have had in moving here.

And all because of the baby.

I've never doubted the Lord to clear any mountain when it comes to His will be done.

And just as He sent a Great Light to light the way of the 3 wise men, so long ago.. He continues to do so -- every day, and for everyone who seeks Him.

We are counseled to Lift Up Our Hearts! And indeed, mine is. I pray yours is, as well.

O, Joy to the World!

It happens every year. It's so amazing.

And He brought us to the Baby.
