Happy Wedding Anniversary!

It was announcement time: 

 In honor of Mother's Day next week, all Moms are invited to lunch at Alexanders Restaurant courtesy of the church.

Mr Lee raised his hand and made his own announcement:  ALL are invited!

Turns out that Mr and Mrs Lee will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary next week, so they invited everyone to celebrate the happy occasion at the restaurant.  Yessssss!!!!

Kentucky Derby May 2010

I do not wager, but I have a love for horse-racing that goes back to my Summers with Grandma Consuelo in the Philippines. She used to partake of the local Carreras which were also televised. I remember having a fondness for odd-color (read: white) horses and for the underdog. She and my uncles may have won often enough because she was never in a foul mood as far as I was aware,  hehehe.

Life lessons  I've watched these types of races enough to know the following:

• the first one out of the starting gate does not always win
• being the odds-on favorites does not guarantee a victory
• the fast-and-furious racing style may mean that the horse fizzles out on the home stretch

What may lead to a win?? The 3 Ps --- patience, pacing,  and position --- and the jockey who knows how to properly combine the three!

I love the name of this year's winner, "Super Saver"
I want to keep an eye on the fabulous(!) come-from-waaaay-behind second-place winner, "Ice Box"

I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong... Ecclesiastes 9:11

Is the USA a Christian Nation?

My family moved to the good ol' US of A many years ago because it was founded on  Judeo-Christian principles. We felt safe, we felt hopeful, we felt welcomed, and it offered far more opportunities than the P.I. We did NOT choose to move to China, Russia, India, North Korea, a Muslim country or to Europe (thanks, Mom and Dad).


 Nuff said!
