Sunrises at the Jersey Shore

We have been enjoying wonderful sunrises at the Jersey Shore! I am amazed at how different each sunrise is. A work of art from God each day! I am also moved when I think how far it is across the Atlantic Ocean to England. Someone once said, "We are but dust." Hope your last week of summer is spectacular. Can't wait for the next season. Tweeds, pumpkins, fall leaves! I hate to see summer go, but one thing I've learned we can't control the weather or the seasons.
God Bless you today. Your friend, Jennifer aka Gigi



What is man that you are mindful of him?









This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Ps.

We Will Never Forget!






Have you been to Ground Zero? I was very moved when we visited there after Sept. 11. We must remember that we are still at war. Let us be united in defending freedom. Teach your children well.

Pres. Bush"These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining"

Take time to listen to Bush's Speech. True leadership!
