Thank You to All our Veterans!!!
In honor of Veteran's Day 2010, I found something that should be remembered by all (in my opinion), so I am choosing to share it with you here on my blog.
In today's times we are so rushed and hurried through the day that we lose track of time and often feel that there are not enough hours in the day. Our world is a small bubble that allows us all to often ignore things that were once very important issues of the day. We often look at history as though it is a by-gone era no longer important other than as classroom material. I believe being patriotic should never fade into the background. I believe symbolism can be important to the cohesion of our nation. Why else would every nation born have a banner which today we call flags? We should always honor our banner, our flag, the symbol that represents us as a people and a nation......so here are the reasons for the thirteen folds in the American Flag.
The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.
The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong."
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother's Day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.
The tenth fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.
The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit.
The thirteenth fold: When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nation's motto, "In God We Trust".
After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today. There are some traditions and ways of doing things which have deep meaning. You will see many flags folded in the coming weeks, and now you will know why.

They went WHERE and did WHAT!??!!?!
Why would a PUBLIC school allow this to take place when we can't have Parties for Thanksgiving or Halloween IN schools. We can't have prayer in school. We can't read our bibles in schools...but they can take children on a field trip like this while not allowing the rest? I think this is wrong. Tolerance goes ALL directions or it isn't really tolerance! Tolerance that doesn't go in all directions is misdirection and slight of hand in my opinion.

Misha's Photography
Here's to a new purpose.
For those who are just reading this blog, let me introduce myself. My name is Micheal Lowther. I am a student at Rogers State University, studying for a business degree with a marketing option. Graduation is almost upon me and I have finally decided what I want to do with my life.
I know it might come as a shock to some and yet maybe not as much to others to learn of this epiphany. Others still have no idea as this is their first introduction. Some might say I have peter pan syndrome, the reluctance to ever grow up. Well this is my first step, though I don't expect to totally abandon the child within myself.
I have been shooting sports photography for a local franchise company called TSS - Green Country for the past six years. I have had a love for photos ever since I can remember. My first career choice (at the age of 8) was to be a country singer. My second choice (at the age of 15) was to be a model. My third choice (after marriage and a child) was a zoologist. And I am guessing that right about now, someone is asking when reality sets in, right? Well I received my Associates in Business in 2003, 3 years after my daughter was born. Yet here I am back at school learning again and hoping this last semester flies by just fast enough for me to keep up and get it done soon. After graduation, I hope to have my business up and running.
My newest and most practical but passionate career choice is photo-restoration, graphics and photography. That career choice has become the focus for this blog. My love of people, photos, memories, and genealogy have all come together. I hope that you will visit often, post as much as your time allows, and enjoy your times spent here in cyberspace and even in person with me.
It was great to meet you here in cyberspace and if you ever find need of me or my company, drop me an email and we can talk photos, family, graphics and more. See you soon.
Sincerely,
M. Lowther

2010
December and January have come and gone...and we're still seeing "chance of snow" in the weather reports in Oklahoma. hm...well...the semester is finally off the ground. First tests are being taken, mid-terms are weeks away...and organizations are up and running at RSU.
Last semester, I started this blog for a class and a marketing plan for Safari's Sanctuary in Broken, Arrow. This semester, I am continuing this blog but not for a class (for credit). I am again doing a plan for Safari's Sanctuary for a promotions class project. I love the animals and the people. Unfortunately I don't have the time to donate to the cause. This is my way of contributing. I know it isn't back-breaking, outdoor, get dirty work like cleaning cages, breaking ice, and feeding the animals. But hopefully it will have a lasting affect and will continue to give to the cause in another way.
If you do have the time, the money, or other resources you'd like to donate to such a worthy cause as our furry exotic "pets" (as that is what the animals at Safari's once were--PETS) then please let Safari's know.....

or you can email: ladysafari@valornet.com
Safari's is an animal rescue facility that helps exotic pets that suddenly have no home.
Exotic pets that have found a home at Safari's include:
Rocky (the LIGER), 2 Barbary lions (like the ones in the movie Ghost in the Darkness),
two black bears, wolves, bobcats, kookabura's, an aligator, lama, kangaroos, peacocks, geese, parrots, blue tongued skink, and many more!
