So, one of the coolest parts of our spring break vacation was a tour inside our Nation's Department of Defense building, aka the Pentagon! We had to have clearance before we made our trip..back-ground checks, hair samples, teeth impressions...o.k. not the last two! Only approx. 100,000 citizens get the tour each year...we were stoked!!
No picture taking was allowed in the building, and we were strongly advised to keep our children in line...YIKES! But they did great and were in awe! The hallways...I hope this isn't CLASSIFIED.....:} are decorated with themes, i.e. the different branches of the military and how they've evolved. And of course the coolest/tear-jerking hallway was memorializing September 11, 2001. WOW!! There were letters from elementary schools, patchwork quilts from schools, photos/paintings and.... the framed American Flag that was flying over the Pentagon that day. WOW!
There is also a Chapel inside the building with a window facing the sky-line where the plane entered the building, and now the ground where the memorial is outside. Inside the chapel, there are 2 HUGE 3-ring binders. One holds letters from the families that died inside the Pentagon...including a picture. The other holds letters from the families of those that perished from the plane...including a picture. I was able to read 1 letter... a child writes to her mom about how much she misses her...
So here's some pics we got on the outside of the building..
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Maundy Thursday
I grew up in the Methodist Church, which always celebrated Holy Week including Maundy Thursday. This day has always been the day that I think/ grieve/celebrate/remember most, not meaning that it was or is more important than the Crucifixion or Resurrection, just I wish I could have been there.... as Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples, washed their feet, wept in the Garden of Gethsemane and sweated blood while His disciples slept, and was finally betrayed by one of His own or at least one who others thought was one of His.
Would I have understood Him when He said it was time, would I have let the Lord of Lords wash my feet, would I have slept when my Shepherd told me to pray while He went off to pray, would I have denied Him, do I deny Him today when He's done all this and more for me?? I pray I daily remember His sacrifice for mine and my loved ones life. Do you remember?
