    I need someone who can sew and come up with a pattern for me.
    All I need is the jacket made much similar to a band jacket. I can order the pants off online, but I need the jacket made.
    I have ideas on what I would like, but I can not find anyone in this town who could do it.

    I am looking forward to hear from you soon.

    U.S. Hispanics: religion (briefly)

    for an F.S.U. course:

     

    A brief on religion pertaining to U.S. Hispanics may easily be begun by noting that most Hispanics in the U.S. share Roman Catholicism as a faith tradition. Surveys of U.S. Hispanics find that membership in the Roman Catholic Church is an important part of many U.S. Hispanics’ self-identity.  Lands that were colonized by Spanish Roman Catholics tend to have population majorities which are Roman Catholic. The U.S.A. is an exception, as it does not have a Roman Catholic majority component of its population.  However, most Hispanics in the U.S., like the majority of Hispanics in Latin American nations, self-identify as Roman Catholic when surveyed for church affiliation or religious practices.  An estimate is that two-thirds of U.S. Hispanics are Roman Catholic and fifteen percent are evangelical Protestant.  About eight percent of Hispanics report that they are atheistic or agnostic. About one percent claim to have a non-Christian faith tradition (Pew, 2008). »→

    air power

    I’m in a condo on a narrow beach of the bay that’s north of Tyndall Air Force Base.  It’s about half a mile from the north end of the northernmost runways.  Often F-4s, F-15s, F-16s, F-22s, and/or A-10s fly off the runways northward or southward for training sorties or to travel to- or from other bases.  Many days aircrews will practice touch-and-gos repeatedly, and they bank over the condo, the beach, or the bay beyond my back porch.  »→

    I guess that Americans will buy anything.  Persons who have trouble falling asleep can buy a sample 2.5-ounce bottle of water for $2.49.  A six-pack of 2.5-ounce bottles costs $19.99 –$3.31 each!

    One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.  - Plato

    President Abraham Lincoln:

    No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.

    Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.

    I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

    today’s thought

    The goal of every Christian ought to be to love more perfectly-and ultimately to get to heaven.  It is literally harder than hell to get to heaven.  It cost Jesus his life to open the gates, and it will cost us the same.  If our goal is heaven, we need to have a plan to see that this happens.  I believe our immediate goal should be to live a holy life.  What a tragedy if we as Christians don’t become holy; holiness is what we have been created for.  And to be holy, to grow in our relationship with Christ, we must have a tangible plan. - Father Dave Pivonka, TOR
