Butt prints in the Sand
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some strange prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, “What have we here?”
Those prints are large and round and neat,
“But Lord, they are too big for feet.”
“My child,” He said in somber tones,
“For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.”
“You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt.”
“Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand.”

You have no idea how much I needed that chuckle. Thanks!!
R-U the un-known author- my fellow-Patriot- friend?

I am actually starting to wonder if the republicans can actually WAIT until 2012 while letting these ideological suicides guide the nation.
All last week I kept thinking the progressives were going to create an excellent shot at 60 repub senators along the the WH and larger house majority. But no one will be able to do a thing until 2013.
By then the damage across all fields we need might take a GENERATION to repair.
I now believe after seeing the utter foolishness, mismanagement, DANGEROUS factional partisan obliteration rhetoric from the LEADERS AND ADVISERS of the left, that Boehner, Cantor, McConnell are COMPELLED to speak together and introduce concrete actions to guide this nation. They should ACT as if they have the majority behind them, because out here
THEY DO
We cannot wait.
We must make the system work and act.
Mitch, Eric, John .... history is on the phone.
CS . . .It's HRW. Ailing octagenarian inlaws w/dimentia have been undermining all our efforts to help them from a distance --is what prompted that very much needed chuckle. It's a 5 hour drive to take them to their doctors appts. which is quite a bit of time from work. Under advisement of a geriatric social worker, we thought it was a good idea to hire a home health aid to assist with meds and appts. Met with the SW and the HHA agency yesterday to sign contracts, met with internist who confirmed it was best route for moment . . .only to arrive back home and learn the in-laws fired both the SW & the HHA before their first day. . .won't take meds/insist don't need them -- then m-i-l calls 30+ times a day to ask for assistance but insists they don't need outside help. Oy.
Yes, indeed, the chuckle was timely & very much appreciated on this end. As a matter of fact this little ditty is making the rounds via e-mail to all involved. Heh.
There's a tear in my eye.
Epa -- a point I made somewhat rambunctiously on The Gathering Storm (WC & AoW are thinking about a 5 second delay now).
Americans are in trouble now, many can't wait until 2012 for things to start turning around, by then it will be too late for many of them.
