GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

I kept up with that one over the years, used to have it linked on my Profile. Many of the slideshow web pages are messed up or not working.

Found one of my pages yesterday with two red X’es and found they were from an O-L-D site!!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

---

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

Oh, Conor, thank you. I LOVE “Amazing Grace” and always need a kleenex when I listen to it.....(Much more kleenex, when I hear it for our troops!)

Have you ever heard Nana Mouskouri sing it?

I just talked to Amy, and she wants you all to know that she is snuggled into her room in Las Vegas, safe and sound, with her family.

It was a very long day for her, trying to get to Searchlight, and see and hear Sarah Palin give her speech. The traffic was at a standstill on the highway, and they could not make it to the Tea Party Express gathering, even though they were in route hours before it was to begin. She said cars were lined up along the highway for miles.

They did hear Ann Coulter’s speech in Henderson, but were not able to even see her.

Thousands of people came from all over the United States, to show their support for our country.

Amy is safe and sound and wanted you all to know that - and she is exhausted, after such a long day, today. She will be back on the thread on Wednesday, hopefully.

I am sure she will have some stories to tell us, when she is able to get back online.

Sorry she missed the excitement. I know she was looking forward to it. Thanks for letting us know, Yorkie!

Sarah was here in Midland on Thursday, but it was never mentioned in our paper and I didn’t find out soon enough to get a ticket. Waaaaa!

[yorkie]

“Ticket”?

Dang. I didn’t know you had to buy a ticket to see her give a speech. Do you know where the money goes for that?

[luvie]

It was going to a conservative group locally. It was held
at the Commemorative Air Force Museum at Terminal. There
weren’t as many people there, but there was a question/answer
session. I wish I had known in time to try to get one of
the tickets. I would LOVE to see her!

[yorkie]

Me, too, Luvie.

Time for bed - see ya tomorrow!

Happy Lord's Day!

God Needs You!

Listen Now |  Play MP3 (Mobile)
READ: Mark 11:1-7

If anyone says to you, “Why are you doing this?” say, “The Lord has need of it.” —Mark 11:3

For His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus chose a donkey to serve as His royal transportation. His disciples were instructed to say, “The Lord has need of it” (Mark 11:3). Isn’t it astounding that the Son of God should use such lowly means to accomplish His purposes? Alexander MacLaren commented on this: “Christ comes to us in like fashion, and brushes aside all our convenient excuses. He says, ‘I want you, and that is enough.’ ”

Think of it! The Creator of the universe needs us and desires to fit us into His eternal design! Though all-powerful and not dependent on any creature, He has chosen to carry out His plans through lowly human instruments. If this were not so, He would have taken us to heaven as soon as He saved us by His grace.

Someone once asked Francis of Assisi how he was able to accomplish so much. He replied, “This may be why: The Lord looked down from heaven and said, ‘Where can I find the weakest, littlest man on earth?’ Then He saw me and said, ‘I’ve found him. I will work through him, and he won’t be proud of it. He’ll see that I am only using him because of his insignificance.’ ”

You may be small in your own eyes, but God has need of you!

Yours is a mission you alone can fill,
Whether it be to build or teach or till;
Your goal may still be hidden from your view,
But somewhere God has urgent need of you. —Thayer

God is looking for ordinary people for extraordinary work.

Bible in One Year: Judges 1-3; Luke 4:1-30

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

*The Triumphal Entry*
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the King of Israel!
14Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
-John 12:12-14 (NIV)

Palm Sunday Blessings To All

Good Morning

Yours is a mission you alone can fill,
Whether it be to build or teach or till;
Your goal may still be hidden from your view,
But somewhere God has urgent need of you. —Thayer

Wishing you a blessed Palm Sunday.
