In thy power Almighty, trusting,
Did our fathers build of old;
Strengthen then, O Lord, their children
To defend, to love, to hold
That the heritage they gave us
For our children yet may be:
Bondsmen only to the Highest
And before the whole world free.
As our fathers trusted humbly,
Teach us, Lord, to trust Thee still:
Guard our land and guide our people
In Thy way to do Thy will.

Jeremiah 8:11-17

11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. Peace, peace, they say, when there is no peace.

12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.

13 'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.'

14 Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

15 We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

16 The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.

17 See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you, declares the LORD.

I do live on kind of a high mountain.  ;)
I have an Uncle who is really smart.  He tells me about history all the time.
That president was FDR.  My Mom helped me find this picture.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in Shangri La (May 14, 1943).

Well I have to say bullcat jr. you and your mom are good researchers. I have quite a few books on FDR and Churchill and I don't think I ever saw that picture before. Thanks for finding it. FDR had another place he use to spend time at called the Little White House do you know where that is?

I visited that little house some years ago and it still has all FDR's stuff in it almost as he left it the day he died there. Its a great place to visit and they have quite a bit to see there in addition to that nice little house. Not many folks know this but beside this little house FDR had another small house he used as a retreat called Top Cottage see if you can find out where that one is.

My Mom and Dad went to Top Cottage in Hyde Park, NY before I was born.
I never knew that!   ;)
FDR is holding his dog Fala in the picture.  I just got a new puppy.
Well I'm going to school in a few minutes.  Have a good day.

I think I made an error this morning when I told BullCat Jr. that we  visited Top Cottage.  What we actually visited was Van-Kill.  Eleanor and her Lady Friends ;) retreat.

New puppies are a lot of fun!! You and your mom found a great picture of FDR one of the few that show the fact that he was unable to walk. That picture was taken on the front porch of Top Cottage by Margaret (Daisey) Suckley FDR's cousin . She use to pal around with him all the time and was actually with him when he died at The Little White House in Warm Springs Ga. You can visit Daisey's home Wilderstein  in Rinebeck N.Y. its a great old house thats exactly how she left it when she died at the age of about 100. I was able to visit Wilderstein soon after it was open to the public and it needed a lot of restoration. Its good to see they are getting it done.
http://www.wilderstein.org/about.html
I have seen the other two Roosevelt homes Springwood and Van Kill. Springwood was the Roosevelt family home and Van Kill was a house FDR built for his wife Elenore Roosevelt.

You should get your mom and dad to take you to see all four homes you will have a great time. There are also some other big houses there where other very rich folks lived and you can visit them also. I have have not seen  Top Cottage yet I will have to visit there the  next time I go up to Hyde Park N.Y. It was not open to the public yet the last time I was up in that neighborhood. There is also one other Roosevelt home where FDR liked to vacation. It was there that he became sick and became unable to walk. See if you can come up with the name of that home.

Yes Top Cottage has only been open to the public for a short time. Van Kill is also a interesting home and the history of Eleanor and her friends there is quite a tale :o In some of his braver moments FDR would go over and swim  with the sharks (Eleanor's so called lady friends) in the Van Kill pool. It seems Eleanor's friends were key players in the woman's movement and civil rights activities of the day. One of Eleanor's closest friends was Lorena Hickok a journalist.
