"Hero" by Abandon with Lyrics

This is My Hero!


He saved me from myself and to think that years ago He sacrificed HImself for my sins...because hHe did this for me...I will take the mess I have made and serve HIm by helping others.


"The Hell that you have gone through was to make you who you are so you could reach others that are where you have been. Here's a reminder, Whatever the devil took from your life and made a mess, God cleans up and makes it your message. God never puts more on you than he has put in you!" Kimberly Jones-Pothier

On Maunday Thursday and the next several days, may we all understand the sacrifice and miracle of this time of year!

Doris Day -- Sentimental Journey

When I was growing up one of my favorite actresses was Doris Day.  I loved her movies, her TV show and her clean cut, down to earth, American Girl ways!  She was the epitome of who I wanted to be and she  stunningly beautiful to boot!!  


My first taste of Doris Day was seeing her in the movie "Calamity Jane",a rough a tumble country cow-gal, who finally finds her inner and outer beauty when she falls in love with the man of her dreams.  A cowgirl version of ugly duckling that turns into the swan.  I watched that movie over and over again...I could relate to the movie premise when I was a gawky pre-teen.


Then my father introduced me to her real roots...singing in Les Brown's Band with Doris Day as his lead singer. "Sentimental Journey" was her biggest hit with this Big Band Hit maker.


Doris Day has not always led the life that is portrayed in her many movies. Her real story was revealed in her autobiography "Doris Day: Her Own Story" (book is out of print but you can find it used)...This is a woman who has been rich, lost it all and come back from nothing. Doris Day is a survivor! 

Many folks only connect Doris Day to her leading men...Rock Hudson, James Garner, Brain Keith, Gordan McRae , Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewertand my favorite Cary Grant.  Here is a list of her movies and some of my favorites:

• Calamity Jane
• On Moonlight Bay
• By the Light Of the Silver Moon
• Please Don't Eat the Daisies  
• Move Over Darling 
• The Thrill of it All
• The Glass Bottom Boat
• That Touch of Mink
• With Six You Get Eggroll
• Pillow Talk
• Young at Heart
• The Pajama Game
• Send Me No Flowers
• The Man Who Knew Too Much
• Many more....

But my favorite of all was her TV show...The Doris Day Show!  It was on for five seasons and you will learn from her autobiography that it was her hit TV series that brought her back from the brink of financial collapse after her husband, Marty Melcher, lost all of her fortune from her success in her early career.  Her show, along with a few movies and TV specials brought her back from financial ruin. It was cute little show with a "That Girl" California style flair.

Dear Mr. President....

A message to our President, Elected Officials and BP:

Dear Sirs:

In light of the pickle we are in the gulf and the growing amount of oil building up there, along with the increased loss of animals and vegetation...I believe that Elvis has the solution to the problem..."a little less conversation and little more action, please" would be appropriate at this time!
