pam Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 As the year winds down it always seems to make me reflect on the hilights or lows of the past year. What headlines made the big news etc. What are some of your reflections on the past year. What do you think were some of the biggest headlines of the year? Keep in mind that these are opinions only so not attacking here!!! There have been soooo many this year but one that made me extremely happy is seeing OJ Simpson finally getting what's due him. What are yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemidakota Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 This has been my most challenging year on record for me but more of a positive note, one of my children had finally received a vision that will effect her eternal and mortal outcome. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applepansy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Michael Phelps was very exciting to watch. My children are all competitive swimmers at the high school level. My youngest still coaches swimming. I love the sport and the sportsmanship that swimming teaches. The year was difficult for me too. I'm hoping it gets better in 2009, but in the meantime I'm smiling and enjoying the blessings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Also an extremely challenging year for my family. I'll look forward to next year, which I hope will continue to look up for us. I think the biggest events of the past year are: 1. The financial crises 2. Barack Obama as president 3. The financial crises 4. George W Bush in "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" on David Letterman 5. The near collapse of the Republican party 6. Prop 8 7. The financial crises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 4. George W Bush in "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" on David Letterman There needs to be a compendium of these speech moments to play continuously in the auditorium of the George W. Bush Presidential Library. This would be especially good for youngsters who may not be familiar with the second President Bush. Maybe David Letterman could even do an introduction to this momument to moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
