[Do they know...
It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime
It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again]
{Do They Konw Its Christmas, Bob Geldof}
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” ~Isaiah 9:6
We can´t imagine any better day to pray for PEACE than Christmas Eve…Dona Nobis Pacem means “Grant Us Peace” or “Gebt uns Frieden”, as we say in Germany.
This world could deal with a lot more PEACE! Please engage in serious soul-searching and ask yourself:
“What type of world do we wish to hand over to our children? Or to our grandchildren?”
I want it to be a peaceful one. Please help to spread the world…

And now…
… our moment of PEACE:
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.”
– John Lennon
“Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind…War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.”
– John F. Kennedy
“Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.”
– Francesco Petrarch
“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime”
– Ernest Hemingway
“Peace be with you.”
– The Bible: Genesis XLIII. 23
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
–Mother Teresa
“I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
– Mohandas K. Gandhi
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”
– Jimmi Hendrix
Dona Nobis Pacem
Peace
Merry Christmas

May 24th, 2008 at 1:40 amSANNI!!!! I NEED HELP- SENT AN EMAIL…
Wanted to stop in and say Happy New Year… stay safe…watch out for the Amateurs out that night.
Final post of 2006 is on THE COUCH…See you next year.
December 29th, 2006 at 7:30 pmHiya Sanni
I’m going off to explore Mimi’s Peace globes soon - should be fun doing the rounds…
You know you recently had notebook trouble? Well, (I can’t remember if I told you this…) my son’s laptop wires stupidly got in the line of fire of my 2 dogs great hulking bodies not so long ago, ending in the catastrophic slow motion fall to the floor
All day I’ve been waiting for the arrival of a replacement, but I’m beginning to think it’s not coming today after all! But in the meantime, your visit today cheered me…
Have a really enjoyable New Year!

By far, the best looking Peace Globe I’ve seen yet! : )
Beautiful child.
Happy New Year and THANKS for stopping by.
December 29th, 2006 at 5:20 pmHey Sanni.. doing a full reholstering of THE COUCH.
Any chance you can send me the basic template for your blog. I am propbably going 3 -columns and as you already have it set, I could customize off of yours.
