GOLD STAR PARK, WETUMPKA, ALABAMA


Visited Gold Star Park in Wetumpka, Alabama the other day.  It was the first time since I had been there in 2002 to campaign, except visiting with my friend Christine there.  I hope you enjoy the pictures from there.

Abraham Lincoln...One of Our Finest Presidents...EVER!

I have compiled a short group of quotes that are some of my favorites of Abraham Lincoln's.  He was so poetic, and such a great president.  Many people have thought that my father's face was a lot like Lincoln's.  I know I grew up with a lot of people telling my dad that.  Ok...here they are.  Hope you will enjoy them as much as I have.


"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it" Abraham Lincoln


"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it." Abraham Lincoln

"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them." Abraham Lincoln

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day."  Abraham Lincoln

"I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side." Abraham Lincoln

"A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other."  Abraham Lincoln

Great Motto for our Daily Lives

"With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds." Abraham Lincoln

I found this quote on one of my facebook friend's profiles, and I found it very fitting for the daily life we live.  We should hold no malice towards others, although we may see differently, and have firm beliefs and ideas that would differ with those who seek malice against us.  We should be charitable to others, and help those in need.  We should be firm in our endeavors to seek justice.  We should  never give up on our goals in life, and strive to finish what we start...always seek to accomplish more.  I believe that in order to have a positive attitude in life, we must seek the good in others.  Sometimes this is very hard to do, yet we can still strive to attain this goal.  God bless each and everyone of you.
