Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.
This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Dear Donna,
I'm having enough
brain candy dealing with here in Atlanta already.
I
really, really, really
don't think it would be a good idea chancing another pie exploding like the pineapple pi(e=mc2)
our mother made for your last trip,
with the girls this time,
visiting me here in Atlanta.
And...
I'm pretty certain mother having made this pie
a pineapple pie, which is Stephenie's favorite,
instead of with apples which is my favorite,
having nothing to do with this pie exploding; nor the crytal meths.
Having Landan Charles Fincher, Cruz Ryder Rodriguez, and Ashley Lauren Fincher's best interest in mind, here's another reason for you staying in Arkansas...
While we were at the Georgia Aquarium your last trip, found myself in line with lots of children waiting to get their faces painted.
After all that trouble we went through just getting there. Once there, the crowd witnessing our bunch being rude and loud as we explained our reason pushing ourselves through making it on time for the dolphin show. Now, a wait for face paintings that will, not only, likely be longer than the paintings will last before getting smeared and being wiped off; Landon, Cruz, and Ashely will still, only, be able seeing face paintings not their own.
"This is what...THEY...want to do
and
Upon hearing Dana snap at my attempt reasoning with them, this is when I just walked away from them and spent the rest of our time there walking myself through the aquarium alone.
Animal Conservation
One of the Georgia Aquarium’s goals is to be a leading facility for aquatic animal conservation and research. The Georgia Aquarium conducts research to improve husbandry methods, develop innovative and exciting new exhibits, contribute to the understanding of the underwater world and apply new discoveries to the conservation of aquatic life. Every day, researchers in the Aquarium’s exhibits and labs are learning more about marine life in order to develop new methods of animal care and veterinary medicine. By combining field research with the study of on-site animals in a controlled environment, the Aquarium is contributing to the advancement of human knowledge in the area of animal science.
I just do not understand
why
we can't get rid
of
"Son of Man,"
and
all become instead...
Sons and Daughters of a Fish Named Wanda?
The same as the oceans were our first home;
the same they will be our last home.
At least...
this gets our Darwin fish back into the picture.
It was when coming across the Weedy Seadragon exhibit and learning that Georgia Aquarium is only one of the four places having successfully bred these Seadragons in captivity that I realized, in addition to already exhibiting the Whale Shark which is the largest known extant fish species, the human species is not going to stop until we have captured a blue whale to exhibit in one of these aquarium; if ever the opportunity still existing once profitable.
Wave after wave of people, many of them couples, breezed by me as I watched these seadragons having had me mesmerized. Except for a picture or two of these seadragons with their cellphones; they barely stayed long enough to even notice them let alone read and learn anything about them.
We might as well dump the whole ocean on land now and get it over with.
There will be no natural habitat to which we will be able returning these seadragon, or any other species, no matter how successful a breeding program.
I see no point in adding to the global warming / climate change problem with an eighteen hour round trip for nothing more than brain candy.
Every little bit helps.
Love,

Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the albatross
About my neck was hung.
Eventually, the ship encounters a ghostly hulk. On board are Death (a skeleton) and the "Night-mare Life-in-Death",a deathly-pale woman, who are playing dice for the souls of the crew. With a roll of the dice, Death wins the lives of the crew members and Life-in-Death the life of the mariner, a prize she considers more valuable. Her name is a clue to the mariner's fate: he will endure a fate worse than death as punishment for his killing of the albatross.
