Awakenings: Remembering our Soldiers at Christmas

See on Scoop.itAmerica & Beyond

Not everyone will be home for Christmas. Support our Troops for they support you!

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

While celebrating during the Christmas season
Always remember those away from home
Keep them in your hearts, cherish them in your soul
A day may come when you find yourself alone

The End of the World as We Know it?

See on Scoop.itAmerica & Beyond

Reblogged from MikesFilmTalk: So according to certain “scholars” the world is going to end tomorrow. Or, I guess more accurately, in about 6 ½ hours (give or take a few micro-seconds). …

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

It is 11:20 PM EST where I presently reside. Somewhere in the world it is already the 21st of December and the WORLD has not ended. I am still here so I suppose they are too. Good morning to everyone reading this after midnight! Hope you have a wonderful day and perhaps this will be a new beginning with hopes of better times for tomorrow’s tomorrows.
