Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!  For Christmas, I wanted to share "Silent Night" with you in German.  For most, if not all of my family, it was our native tongue before we came to America.  Enjoy, you know the tune!

DEUTSCH Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818 Words: Joseph Mohr, 1816/1818 Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Hirten erst kundgemacht Durch der Engel Halleluja, Tönt es laut von fern und nah: Christ, der Retter ist da! Christ, der Retter ist da! Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund, Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'. Christ, in deiner Geburt! Christ, in deiner Geburt! Heute singt man nur die Strophen 1, 6 und 2 (oben) von der originellen Joseph-Mohr-Version (1816).

ENGLISH Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818 Words: John Freeman Young, 1863 Silent night, holy night All is calm all is bright 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Today only verses 1, 6 and 2 (above) from the original Joseph Mohr version (1816) are sung.

He Speaks

Well, he's going to speak again.  He'll have nothing to say.  He never does.  He just gets on tv everyday because it's all about me,me, me with him.  I can't even watch him anymore because he just lies. He talks and talks from his dear telepromters, then if he's asked a question, he blabs for several minutes never answering the questions because he doesn't know the answer!

Now is the time to move! Now is the time to take our country back.  He's down and we need to keep him down and get on the ball to get our rights back.  Repeal the healthcare bill, keep the tax hikes, but dump the unemployment extensions and keep the don't ask, don't tell.  Get with it.  Speak up people. Write to your representatives and senators and then get out in the streets and march! Demand the we have the country back that our Founding Fathers intended for us to have.

2011 will be the year.  If we don't do it then, we'll lose our country forever and we are close to that now. Think about this during the Christmas season.  Remember that Christ came to earth and died to save us all from our sin.  Now it's our turn to save our country.  Get off the couch and do it.  I expect to see people in the streets protesting after the new year.  Reclaim your country.  Get the Pledge back into the classrooms; make it ok to pray at Graduations; all these little liberties we have let go, we need to get back, not just the big ones.  Prepare yourself to do it!

God Bless America!

Snow

We had a 'winter storm' last night.  About 4-5 inches of snow and about 1/4 inch of ice on top of that.  It's a little bit of a mess; you could ice skate on the street!  But I still say, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. But they can leave the ice out of it.

Christmas Time!!!

Well, 'it's beginning to look like Christmas' as the song goes. It has certainly gotten cold and tonight/tomorrow we are under a Winter Weather Advisor until 7pm tomorrow night. I love it! I love the Christmas time of year! So, I will leave a few winter/Christmas songs.
