Linda, I'm so late, but I dearly love The Call to Prayer. Thank you.

"Through G-d we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies. Psalms 60:12"

Now those guys in the F-15E look like they could do some serious damage. Great pictures, EMB.

G*d bless you good, AP, for the pillow of the day you bring for our Military and their families. And today for our fallen heroes, a special pillow. Thanks.

Confession time, Brian. I found your Cadbury eggs AFTER I sealed your box. Plenty of candy, just no eggs. Oops! Next box. Now, an early night for an early morning.

Time for bed. God Bless all our troops, their families, our veterans and our Canadian, Israeli, Great Britain, Australian, Poland, New Zealand and Taiwanese allies. We pray for your safe and soon return. Thank you for doing the jobs you do to keep this UNITED STATES OF AMERICA safe. We love all of you.

Thank you Lurker, Toby, Tom Cat, Kyle, Joe, Jake, the Z-Tar, Sneakers, Scully and the Pirates, Brook, Leatherneck Rangler Jody, Cory, Jimmy, Winky, Chez, Martin, John, David C, Parker, Michael, Smitty, David, and Carol for being part of our family. Thank you to all who enter the Canteen. Salute!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

And thanks to Scully and the Pirates, TSgt Munnell, Peter and Greg for your support.

We're fine, the Winter has been mild, yesterday the temp was 78 and the sun was shining.
It's raining today and it's supposed to snow down to 1200 ft in the next few days ... weird. :)

Tonk, I received this poem today and thought it was worth sharing:
Subject: THE FINAL INSPECTION

> The soldier stood and faced God
> Which must always come to pass
> He hoped his shoes were shining
> Just as brightly as his brass.

> > "Step forward now, you soldier,
> How shall I deal with you?
> Have you always turned the other cheek?
> To My Church have you been true?"

> > The soldier squared his shoulders and
> said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
> Because those of us who carry guns
> Can't always be a saint.

> > I've had to work most Sundays
> And at times my talk was tough,
> And sometimes I've been violent,
> Because the world is awfully rough.

> > But, I never took a penny
> That wasn't mine to keep...
> Though I worked a lot of overtime
> When the bills got just too steep,

> > And I never passed a cry for help,
> Though at times I shook with fear,
> And sometimes, God forgive me,
> I've wept unmanly tears.

> > I know I don't deserve a place
> Among the people here,
> They never wanted me around
> Except to calm their fears.

> > If you've a place for me here, Lord,
> It needn't be so grand,
> I never expected or had too much,
> But if you don't, I'll understand."

> > There was a silence all around the throne
> Where the saints had often trod
> As the soldier waited quietly,
> For the judgment of his God,

> > "Step forward now, you soldier,
> You've borne your burdens well,
> Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
> You've done your time in Hell."

> > > To all that serve or have served

I am just sorry that I didn't have this Sunday. God Bless our military.
