IA video is on U-Tube key word ashbylight and My space and God-Tube.  Let me know if you receive this ok and can play.  Also both the words and song may be played at many 4th of july celebrations across town and also stone mountain may use them both in 2009 Lazer show.  I am also sending the U-Tube Video.  Also several major Gospel groups have shown interest in the song.  Radio Disney has also been looking at playing this and also Joyce Myers is interested

 Scotts words American Motto was inspired of  911.  My song Loving Fathers Arms was inspired out of the Chalanger Disaster!

Due to the demand for T-Shirts, we now have a url to visit. http://www.cafepress.com/ashby1984.  If you want bulk order contact us directly.   We have T-Shirts With American Motto on them.

The words are also going to be a part a permanant display for Viet Nam Vets on Veterans Day at the hospital.  If you can give the words exposure.  Saw you article about the museum in Midtown and would love to see if they want to somehow display the words.  A cobb reporter did a full page story about my son being injureds and my husbands words if you wanted to somehow re-do that story in the Atlanta portion of the AJC that would be wonderful at this point.

Would you be able to some how incorporate the words in National Motto into what your doing.  We read your web site and moved since the words were also inspired out of 911.  We thought it would be fitting to join together.  They are copywritten also.

Several Schools and a local schools board are already using the words in some manner.

The walmart style ad ran May, 2007.  How cool is that just before Memorial Day. It appears on page 7 of the ad for exchanges overseas 15 pages long.  If you are interested in printing the words in any manner.  We would somehow like our email on anything you print.  If that's possible in case people want to contact us.

Scott's words American Motto are also going to be out to 1.2 
million customers of the Military Exchange system AAFES sometime in 
March. and an article about our son David and his experiences in 
Afganistan. Scott's words American motto are now appearing on a 
web site called www.operationfirstresponse.com under the subsection 
honor our military and also various other web sites.
 
Along with a blup about our Son, David being shot in the Neck in 
july of this year. He is doing awesome. He was shot during a 
battle with insurgants in Afganistan. He is a walking miricle and 
prayers were answered. God is awesome!
 
 
The motto is printed on a plaque hanging in the Mall of Georgia. 
and a local Wal-Mart.

It has been recited on radio stations both Georgia and Tennessee 
and has gathered interest from gospel singing groups, military 
members and even the staff at major department stores. These words 
were also read at First Baptist Wordstock on June 24, 2006 and got 
a standing ovation during the 4th of July Celebration that Governor 
Purdue was in attendance at.

I sang my own orginal song written out the chalenger Disater years ago called Loving Fathers Arms and read Scott's words Friday night and got a standing alvation for a toastmasters International conference.  I am so amazed at God's handi work.  We now have an advance copy of the 15 page ad coming out the week of May 19.  His words on page 7 look for them then and let us know when you them It is actually in the Walmart style print ad.

I would like to challange you both personnally and as a church.  I am sending this to almost everyone I am contacting in regards to the song and every thing else and at least locally and other 100 of them to begin.

Before my son was injured.  The Lord had laid it my heart my heart one day to pray for 100 churches, 100 businesses, and 100 schools right out the phone book.  I did this for days and then I was to call all of them one by one and tell them I was praying for them and I left them my husbands words anomosly.  Can you see how all this has led to my large blessing.  I am going to add a twist however and say to do this for 100 days.  If only a few do this what a world we effect change.  I would also say that you could add 100 ministries to the list and so on so forth I think you get the idea of by now and can use your own creativeness to put a spin on things.  Then I beleive we will unite a large force to have something called the Jesus Movement which was referenced in my 11th Grade history book when he was younger.  I am going to ask that congress resrect this somehow and I beleive that New Birth along with other churches including mine will be on board somehow.  But I think you guys are inline first.

I beleive this is like the Days of  Paul and the Corinthians and God is trying to shake up this country and it's churches to unite.  2 cor 3:13-16 was a vs I just stubled on that I think will lead the way for this movement.

The results I had from calling places including the schools most I just left voice mails

The first 3rd was all rejections the middle was nothing just left msg. the last 3rd.  I got the prayer warriors.  What a life lesson on it's own boy might this preach.

I think there is a sermon her somewhere on how persistance and how alive and well the devil and getting through that first hurdle to the last 3rd to get the prize is alot work and not giving up before you reach your goal.  I think this could apply to goal and dreams also when you start our failure after failure or rejection after rejection.  Then the calm

non responsiveness of the middle and last the prize the Prayer Wariors and you need a team of angels and warriors and whole lot of patient to get to the last part.

I hope you are up for this challenge

Thanks once again from me.   I am excited and in awe of how God moves in wonderful and awesome ways.  I am reminded of Psalms 91 and I believe that our obidence is being rewarded in this.

LOVING FATHER'S ARMS SONG 

THE WORDS TO SONG

Loving father’s Arms.

As we carry on as generations all have done.

We’ll somehow all arise and march with hearts as one.

Learning from the past, somehow we’ll carry on

With babies resting peacefully in loving fathers arms.

I watch events unfold on this tragic day.

The only voice I hear is the silence of unknown.

As with prior tragedies a single tear is shed for thee.

I realize how precious that life can really be.

As we carry on as generations all have done.

We’ll somehow all arise and march with hearts as one.

Learning from the past, somehow we’ll carry on

With babies resting peacefully in a loving father’s arms.

A Mother watches silently, a tear falls to the ground.

It’s the only peace love & joy that tonight can be found.

Learning from the past, somehow we’ll carry on

With babies resting peacefully in a loving father’s arms.

As we carry on as generations all have done.

We’ll somehow all arise and march with hearts as one.

Learning from the past, somehow we’ll carry on

With babies resting peacefully in a loving father’s arms

With babies resting peacefully in a loving father's arms.

We just wanted you to really have these words to honor our troops.

God has really been blessing us extremely with our healthy young hero.
