A Lady's Ruminations

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Keep the Faith

One of my dearest blog friends, Angel of Woman Honor Thyself wrote me an e-mail earlier this evening, which included these words:

Semper Fi and ......walk on Faith eh?
All I can say is AMEN.

More Hope from Angel here.

Keep praying for our country. God will not abandon us.

Psalm 5:2-13:

2 Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.
3 Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;
4 at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.
5 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;
6 the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;
7 you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.
8 But I can enter your house because of your great love. I can worship in your holy temple because of my reverence for you, LORD.
9 Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.
10 For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Their throats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.
11 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.
12 Then all who take refuge in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. Protect them that you may be the joy of those who love your name.
13 For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
