It's because of your efforts (and many behind the scenes I know) that both my Advent and Lenten journeys (and thus my Christmas and Easter celebrations) have taken on new and a more rich meaning.<br /><br />Gob bless you and yours this sacred seasonDawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-28437465321719175352010-11-28T17:03:06.526+00:002010-11-28T17:03:06.526+00:00FROM AMERICA

One couple visited the birthplace of Pres. Theodore Roosevelt on E.20th St. "TR" endured so much mockery in the forms of personal attacks, cartoons and jokes about his asthmatic problems, poor eyesight & high-pitched voice. Pres. Roosevelt said: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again & again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and TIMID souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."<br />JOANNA, you are always "in the arena."<br />Sheila A.
