I liked what I read. <br />It seems to me that one would be more proficient of a martial artist by incorporating spiritual martial arts.

I liked the pics as well.<br /><br />Yeah, y'all are family to me as well.<br /><br />Orthodox-based martial arts? Sounds like my kind of thing. <br />Like, Kung-Fu for Jesus.

Got to talk with both daughters and granddaughter, they liked their gifts, and spent most the day smiling or laughing when I reminisced.<br />I could definitely feel Patti smiling along with me. :)<br /><br />Yes, those po' Christmases were among the best ones.<br />Never were we bitter about someone else having more gifts than we had, because we were and are blessed beyond measure.<br /><br />USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-13331666298717672192014-12-26T11:05:04.735-08:002014-12-26T11:05:04.735-08:00You are definitely family.
