QuoteThis is the announcement we have all been waiting for. From daughter Leslie and son-in-law Jeremiah Thompson:

"This morning just after four o'clock, God gave us a son. His name is Crispin Lee, which means "curly haired healer." He weighs a small chunk over seven pounds, and measures a beautiful twenty inches."

Thanks be to God.

Congratulations, Jeremiah and Western Rose, on your new son.

A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Growing old is mandatory; Growing up is optional!  :)

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

During the whole affair, the rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance and resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into a regular body. Indeed they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself very much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about..."Gen. Hugh, Earl Percy

Hey all! I haven't been on the forum in ages, and when I happened to log on today, I found this thread. I'm here with pictures of my precious little nephew, Crispin Lee. I must say, being an aunt is a wonderful, wonderful thing. :)

Here's the little family 4 hours after the birth.


4 hours old.


Proud uncle, aunt, and grandparents.








Western Rose and her little son.


Two days old.


The little guy and his mother are doing well! I may be biased, but I think he's just the cutest. ;)

Blessings,

There is likely a rifle or two waiting for him to grow into, but I would bet he will shoot it with a Hasty Sling, and open legged sitting position and the love of the LORD.
... to catch the fire in another American for sharing the skills and our heritage to our posterity. Maybe my perfect shots will be made by those I met along the trials and trails of Appleseed. I know that America is a nation of Riflemen.
