Just in- I was given a huge amount of information on the Dumler family from them coming over from Russia/Germany and the lineage of the families- I donated it to the Russell Historical Society as of today.... If any person has ties to the Dumler clan now you should be able to trace it. This is all thanks to a Lady who will remain anonymous- but had ties to the name. She put together a very concise history with many names including ours. Ask about it sometime you visit the place... Thank you all! Have a Blessed Day!

I like the verse today: Psalm 118: 24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Have a Blessed Day All!

Historians have discovered that King Nebuchadnezzar was quite a chatterbox.
He tended to Babylon.

Today I ran across this and I thought it is appropriate for especially our times-
“AMERICA IS A TUNE.
IT MUST BE SUNG TOGETHER.”
~ GERALD STANLEY LEE
For us today we need to stand together- If we don't then will surely fall- apart!
To me it would be too easy too complain and to "Choose" a side! We attained our Great Nation by standing together!
We should remember there was a time when we almost lost our Great Country!
We enjoy the freedom to complain because of what our history made us!
To all I love this country- I love my ability to speak freely! I love that I can worship or not worship with that same freedom! So today I will pray that God will bring us together and make us stronger in the midst of the lies that are being reported by all of our media! Not one exception! So if I were to tell anyone what to do, it would be this:
that we silence our dissenters by not listening- walk away! Today let us Remember who died for our freedom! Let us take a moment to Thank whatever entity we believe in or just thank others for the freedom we have!
Also- remember! All of us! That is what it takes to keep our Country Free and Great- and for me I will place my faith in God as well!
Have a memorable 4th of July- Thank you to all of the people that came before me that helped us to be able to celebrate today! Father God Thank you for all of your gifts to us as well! Amen!
