Where will you spend Memorial Day 2012?

Tomorrow is the day we've set aside to honor our true heroes.  That's true heroes- not Mickey Mouse, not Michael Jordan, not Lady GaGa (absolutely not Lady GaGa).  Memorial Day isn't for the famous- rather, it's a day when we look to give honor to the endless sea of crosses at Arlington and the American soldier who rests in honored glory and whose name is known but to God.

As for me, I will spend the day in Sanford, Florida- a city much-maligned and wrongly-maligned in recent months.  There are a number of events here in Central Florida and a bigger one held in downtown Orlando and elsewhere- but I choose to both honor our fallen heroes and support the great city of Sanford at the same time.

I encourage all who are able to join me in attending Sanford's Memorial Day Parade and Remembrance Ceremony.  Parade starts at 10, ceremony at 11. Have to pray this dang Sub-Tropical...now-Tropical Storm Whatever doesn't wash it out!

Follow this link for more information- and let's see how far Sanford's come towards healing wounds both old and new:

For folks outside this area, please take just a few minutes and reflect on those who've fallen so America can remain standing as the best nation the planet's ever known.

That hasn't happened by accident or coincidence- it's happened thanks to the grace and tender mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ and those He's chosen as His vessels to effect His purposes.
