<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">The end of the year is an excellent time to look back & reflect on the blessings of the past year. Even though I haven't penned as many "Blogs" this year, the viewership has grown in "Leaps & Bounds"! Our <em><strong>total views</strong></em> now average over <b><i>1200</i></b> a month, & are now approaching <i><b>225,000</b></i> views overall! PTL! I'm so thankful for the Lord's Hand in using the "Blog", & pray that He continues to encourage His saints through it. Now, I offer EWE "<strong>Greetings</strong>"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">from the <strong>seven continents</strong> & from some of our most "<strong>Revered </strong>" animal guests on the Blog! I also invite EWE to "Welcome" <strong>our </strong>"<strong>TOP TEN</strong>" Blogs of all <span style="color: #660000;">time ! I hope that Ewe enjoy taking a glance back at some of our most "<strong>frequented</strong>" Blogs. I wish all of EWE a <strong><em>Happy & Healthy 2019</em></strong>, & thank EWE for </span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;">visiting the Blog & I'm looking forward to another year of "Blogging"!

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><strong>Bearded Dragons</strong> are loaded with lots of "FUN" Facts! First, do Ewe know why they are named "<strong>Bearded Dragons</strong>"? They are named "<strong>Bearded</strong>" because of the beard-like scales & spikes they have around their head. Whenever they are threatened, they expand their throats & use this as a defense mechanism against an enemy! Next, contrary to popular belief, not all <em>dragons</em> are from Australia.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">The USA presently has a huge population, & it is unnecessary, as well as illegal, to import them! Third, in 2005, it was discovered that <em>dragons</em> have a mild <strong>venom</strong> that is not harmful to humans or most other animals. Finally, <em>dragons</em> do not regenerate body parts, unlike some other lizards. Re-growing tails is simply "out of the question" for the <strong>Bearded Dragon</strong>!</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">First & foremost, <strong>John William</strong> has a love for God & his family. He has already stated that he wants his dad's job as Pastor of the church! He knows that a family that "<em>Prays together</em>, <em>stays</em> <em>together</em>"! Going to church is having a positive effect on <strong>John</strong> <strong>William</strong>, according to his mom, he is very polite & a real gentleman, as he opens doors for his mom. (Even automatic ones) Recently, at a Christmas Family reunion in TN, John demonstrated his compassion, by giving family members "Congratulations" Hugs during a family Bible Quiz match! Last, but not least, he loves playing "Back Alley Bridge" with his Florida grandparents! Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to team up with <strong>John William, </strong>&<strong> </strong>our team's name was <strong>"Papa John's"! </strong>We had Fun, Fun, Fun, & we won the game in the last hand! John has also recently been leading Worship for the youth at the church! Lifting his voice in service to the Lord is a gift that John enjoys giving to JESUS!</span><br />

We got to enjoy John's musical ability at our 50th Anniversary lunch at our 2022 Family Reunion this past summer. John sang us a "LOVE" song which was absolutely beautiful! </span><br />

This Mom is the "<em>Mother of Nursing Moms</em>", feeding her pup 48% fat seal milk continuously for 12 days without taking one break for herself for meals! This Mom will lose an average of 7 lbs. a day, while her pup will gain an average of 5 lbs. per day! It's the kind of Love that "<em><strong>Keeps on Giving</strong></em>"!

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><strong>Koala Bear</strong> Moms could easily be renamed "<em><strong>Have pouch will</strong></em> <em><strong>Travel</strong></em>"! Rarely leaving the safety of their treetops, these "<em><strong>Top</strong></em> <strong>Gun</strong>" Moms give birth to blind, hairless, & earless one-quarter inch look-alike replicas of themselves. I may be going out on a limb here, but these moms have to carry & milk their babies, called <em><strong>joeys</strong></em>, inside their pouches, for about six months. Talk about going "Above & Beyond"! Then these super Moms continue to nurture & nurse their <em><strong>joeys</strong></em> inside the pouch, adding a special substance called "<em>pap</em>" to their diet, which prepares them for eating eucalyptus leaves. For several weeks the joeys eat the "<em>pap</em>", which adds necessary bacteria to their intestines, which will aid them in their digestion of the dangerous eucalyptus leaves. After the <em><strong>joeys</strong></em> leave the pouch, they will hang on their mom's back or abdomen for another six months, learning how to grasp leaves with their hands. Talk about being "<em><strong>attached at the hip</strong></em>"!</span><br />

Orangutans only have children every 8 years, so they view motherhood with anticipation. Their infants are very dependent at birth, clinging to their mother's belly for the first 4 months! This takes extreme dedication on the part of the mom, since she has a "<em><strong>constant companion</strong></em>", wherever she goes, for up to 2 years. This</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">becomes even more challenging for Mom, since she builds a new nest every day in the trees, & up to 30,000 in her lifetime!

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Every year at this time, many of us start the <strong>New Year</strong> with the hope of <em><strong>improving</strong></em> <em><strong>our lives</strong></em> for the <em><strong>better</strong></em>. We make "<strong><em>sincere</em></strong>" <strong>resolutions</strong> to change something in our lives that is preventing us from becoming the <strong><em>best </em></strong>that we could be! Webster defines "<strong>resolution</strong>" as: <em>" <b>the act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict, problem, etc.: the act of resolving something": an answer or solution to something".</b></em> Here are some examples of the most commonly made <strong>New Year's resolutions</strong>:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763;"><em>1)</em> Exercise regularly.</span></span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>"Independence Day"</strong></span> has been celebrated for <strong><span style="color: #990000;">242</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #990000;">years</span></strong> to commemorate the birth of <span style="background-color: white;">freedom,</span> as our "nation" officially declared its "independence" from Great Britain in 1776! John Adams, on July 2nd, penned these words in a letter to his wife. <strong>"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from</strong> <strong>this time forward forever more. "</strong> The day was moved to <i>July 4th</i> to correspond with the much publicized date on the <em><b>Declaration of Independence</b></em>. I have gathered some quotes & pictures to encourage Ewe on this very special day in the existence of our country.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;">The history of <strong>Memorial Day</strong> dates all the way back to three years after the Civil War! On May 5,1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans-The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR),-established <strong>"Decoration Day"</strong>, as a time for our nation to decorate the graves of our war dead with flowers. Major General John A. Logan declared <strong>May 30th</strong>, as the official date to observe <strong>"Decoration Day"</strong>! It is believed that the reason for that date being chosen was because flowers would be in bloom across the country.</span><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><strong>Arlington National Cemetery</strong>, across the Potomac River from Washington D.C.,was the location of the first large observance that was held in May, of the year 1868. Presiding over the ceremonies that day was Ulysses S. Grant. After speeches, children from the Soldier's & Sailor's Orphan's Home, & members of the GAR, strewed flowers over both Union & Confederate graves, singing hymns, & saying prayers.

In 1971, Congress officially declared <strong>Memorial Day</strong>, formerly referred to as <strong>Decoration Day</strong>, as a national holiday, to be observed on the last Monday in May. Also, in the year 2000, to ensure that the memories of the fallen heroes are never forgotten, Congress passed <strong>"The National Moment of Remembrance</strong> <strong>Act",</strong>P.L.106-579, creating a White House Commission on the <strong>"National Moment of Remembrance"</strong>. The Commission's charter was to <strong>" encourage the</strong> <strong>people of the U.S. to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom & opportunity",</strong> by encouraging & coordinating commemorations in the U.S. of <strong>Memorial Day</strong> & the <strong>National Moment of Remembrance.</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">When Gen. Logan first ordered his troops to decorate their graves "with the choicest flowers of springtime", he urged “ <em><strong>We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a</strong> <strong>free and undivided republic.”</strong></em> Following, about 5000 people placed small American flags on each grave, which became a tradition which is still practiced today. <strong>The National Moment of</strong> <strong>Remembrance</strong> encourages all Americans to pause at <strong>3 P.M</strong>. on <strong>Memorial Day</strong> , for a minute of silence to remember & honor those who have died in service to their country. <strong>Moment of</strong> <strong>Remembrance </strong>founder Carmella LaSpada explains: <strong>“It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day."</strong></span><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">First, "<i>Faith</i>" in God is definitely a solid part of <i><b>Samuel</b> <b>Christian's</b></i> foundation. At 11 years old, <b>Sam</b> was a real Prayer Warrior! He had a prayer cloth from Israel that he carried with him to bed. As part of his evening prayers, Sam prayed for protection over his mind while he's sleeping. These prayers help him to rest peacefully & Jesus kept his thoughts positive & free from nightmares! He also enjoys singing his favorite song from church, one of which is called, "<i><b>Roaring Like a Lion</b></i>"! Growing up in the church, <b>Sam</b> was voted "<i><b>Clubber of the Year</b></i>" in AWANA for his age group, & his favorite memory verse in AWANA is <i><b>John 3:16</b></i> . </span><br />

This is especially true during the dry seasons, which have almost wiped out their groups, also known as "<strong>gangs</strong>".

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><strong>Meerkats</strong>, are considered "<strong>generous</strong>" for a number of reasons. First, while the gang forages during the day, certain <strong>Meerkats</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><em><strong>volunteer</strong></em> to act as guards, or sentinels. They sacrifice their food gathering for the safety of the gang! They alert the gang if danger arrives, & then all "high-tail" it for their underground burrows, or caves. Another reason they are considered generous is because of the way they care for their young. Young Pups are initially taught how to find their own food. Meerkats are 82% insectivores. If pups can't find food on their own, they emit a high-pitched squeal directed toward the adults. At this point, random adults will respond to their cry for help, & feed the pups! Meerkas don't store food, so giving the pups food is a personal sacrifice! The final reason <strong>Meerkats</strong> are considered generous, is due to the concern that they take for each member of the community. They baby-sit for each other's baby pups, & truly believe "<strong>It takes a village</strong>", to raise a "<strong>gang</strong>". In conclusion, whether it's protecting, guarding, feeding, or caring for each other's families, Ewe have to tip Ewer hat to the <strong>Meerkats</strong>, & their freely given <strong>generosity</strong>!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;">An individual that displayed such <strong>Loyalty</strong> to Christ, which led to his hanging, was the German pastor <b>Dietrich Bonhoeffer</b>. He worked closely with an assortment of poor, downtrodden people in Harlem, Barcelona, & Berlin, which helped him to closely identify with their struggles. While Hitler was rising to power, he helped establish the "<i>Confessing Church</i>", which included 6000 pastors who rejected the "<i>Aryan Clause</i>", which allowed for ill treatment of the Jews. <b>Dietrich</b> boldly proclaimed that Jesus Christ was Lord & that being loyal to Hitler was sheer idolatry! He worked diligently for the "<i>Resistance</i>" movement & was eventually caught, thrown into prison, & hung! He remained <strong>loyal</strong> to Christ while in prison, where he wrote many works, including his classic book, <em>The Cost of Discipleship.</em></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Finally, at church, <strong>Ayla</strong> continues to demonstrate herself as being determined to be "<strong><em>God's Oak Tree</em></strong>"!</span> <span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">She is very active in her faith & has participated in the "<em>AWANA</em>" program at church. She also really treasures memorizing Scripture, & her favorite verse is <strong><em>John 3:16</em></strong>! <strong>Ayla</strong> also enjoys attending church <strong>VBS</strong> programs in the summer, as well as Sports' Camps. (Even when visiting her cousins in CA) She has a very compassionate heart, which expresses itself by helping those in need whenever possible! The three summers ago, on July 4th, Ayla & her sisters & cousins got baptized! It was an exciting event that I had the privilege of participating in! <strong>Ayla's</strong> terrific work ethic fuels her desire to do her best for the Lord, not only at church, but also in whatever she does!</span><br />

She distinguishes herself by giving 100 percent to whatever the task is at hand!

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><strong>Chameleons</strong> are a great place to start when examining "<strong>colorful</strong>" <strong>changes </strong>in the world of nature. By controlling their cells, called <em><b>chromatophores</b></em>, they can change their color.These cells can be a variety of colors, such as black, blue, brown, white, yellow, or red. These colors are blended to produce many different shades. These <i><b>changes</b></i> in the creatures occur mostly due to the creatures' need for<br />
<strong>camouflage</strong>, or a<strong> change in temperature</strong> & <strong>level of excitement</strong>.</span><br />
