Churchills' Legacy

Churchill , a great orator and statesman, said many things.
He said it is a mistake to look far into the future.

He said with regard to Hitler:

We will fight. We will never surrender.

Churchill was and is still one of my very favorite people in history.

2012 looks like it will be a year when people will have to unite and pull together if we are to win the war against poverty hunger suffering and the economy.

This is the year when the words of Churchill will have to live again.

This is the year that will humble the CEO's and make them work for a living or resign.

This is the beginning of a new era and no one knows what it's all about but what we do know is that we can make it either something which will lead to death or something which can lead to

something too great to imagine.

For once in our lives, our future lies in our hands.

And it is not just for North America but all around the world.

The fact that the Euro is associated to no one country is a sign and it can go both ways.

Either it survives.........or it dies.

There is a lot of good will for the economy to survive with or without it.

This makes it a very exciting period to live in.

It lets you look at the future as either half full or half empty

Life during Churchills' time was difficult.

People moved forward and people will move forward again today.

We will forge ahead and make life and living a great time

to remember.

We will make great history full of enlightenment but this time

it will not be for Rome, Egypt, Israel or anyone.

It will be for the world.

It will be for you and for me.

It will be for our children and their children.

We have been forced into taking another step forward

and we will not fail our maker and

do the right thing to make him proud of us

as he already is.

God Bless Everyone.!

	If you are going through hell, keep going” – Sir Winston Churchill “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” – Oscar Wilde “You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Christopher Columbus “If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.” – Timothy Leary “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” – Denis Waitley “Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.” – Marie Beynon Ray “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” – Albert Camus “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover.” – Mark Twain “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” - Nelson Mandela “We have no choice of what color we’re born or who our parents are or whether we’re rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we’re here.” – Mildred Taylor

Valenki

lithuania.balticnordic.com

Valenkis' were worn by peasants and we would read many stories about how these poor people would trudge through heavy snow in frigid weather and yet who would have thought these valenkis were so warm.
They are good up to -40C and excellent of circulation, rheumatism and arthritis
Felt is easy to make if you want to make slippers. Just throw an old wool sweater into the drier and voila.
My boys did that with two new sweaters after having been told how many times??????
NOT TO DO THAT?????? (sigh)

Valenkis' are not cheap today any more than designer dogs which used to be called worthless mutts.
Times have changed. People have become smarter and do not just look for style but for comfort and health.

Now I can't make boots for the outside but I have enough felt from sweaters to make boots for the inside which can be sewn or made from one piece.
The arms can be used as leggings for hockey skating and soccer games or sewn onto other sweaters to make them designer like the dogs mentioned above . Then you can wear a winter vest and still have warm arms.
See... I can either sulk or find other things to do and make my life easier.
It also is an idea one could experiment with, to do a niche market in indoor slippers.

Curiousity Killed the Cat

This is a fir tree in Victoria , BC.
They grow even bigger than this.
Having read the Oak Legend I had to find out which tree was used to crucify people.

I was happy to learn oak grew in areas like Bashan, and in the Ḥurshat Tal of the Ḥuleh valley but was expensive and too hard to cut so they needed a softer wood and this then most likely was the fir tree.

Lebanon had lots of cedar trees which symbolized pride and loftiness
The city of Tyre made oars out of oak

The oak when it is old is cut down and then regrows by letting out shoots.
Issiah used this oak tree to compare the fate of the Jewish people to the old oak.

The old oak (together with an elah, *terebinth) standing near the gate Shallekhet in Jerusalem that frequently had its branches and trunk cut down, only its stump remaining; yet no sooner was it felled, than the stump put forth "holy seed," sprouting new shoots (Isa. 6:13). Possibly Isaiah 11:1: "And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a twig shall grow forth out of his roots" is a continuation of this chapter.


The oldest oak tree in Israel today is in Hebron and known as the oak of Hebron.
Either this tree or one of its ancestors is mentioned as the tree under which Abraham received the kings.(Ant., 1:186; cf. Wars, 4:533)
