Moving on

"I am NOT afraid of death, but the separation from family and friends makes me sad. HOWEVER, that is the view from THIS SIDE! Once a person crosses over into eternity, he (or she) is far too busy being caught up in a reverent ecstasy to have any thoughts of those still on Earth. Those thoughts would cause a little hint of sadness and there is none of that in heaven. So my opinion is that the only sadness in the death of a Christian is suffered by those left on Earth. So if my passing would cause you to be sad because you miss me then “I am honored and humbled by that but if I have "crossed over" then the kindest way to say it is that I am not too busy being awe-struck over Paradise to miss anyone or anything. Sorry."

Successful marriage...

A successful marriage is the union of two unconditional lovers who are committed to outdo each other in acts of sacrificial giving, selfless serving, undeserved forgiveness, unreserved admiration, heartfelt compassion and willful submission. - Isaac Kubvoruno

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at them 🔨 

Mad and blind

"The North was mad and blind; it would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came, and now it must go on till the last man of this generation falls in his tracks, and his children seize the musket and fight our battle, unless you acknowledge our right to self government. We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence, and that, or extermination."

President Jefferson Davis, C.S.A.

Freedom

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

- Ronald Reagan
