GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

The Soldier’s Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

OOOOOPS!!

September slipped up on me. I haven’t been online much recently. Really busy with my Administering my BIL’s estate. Time to remind you all to make sure your wills are current! These past two months have been very stressful.

I have been thinking of you and have all of you in my prayers.

This has been a record setting summer. It is too darn HOT!!

Thank you for keeping the thread running during my absence. I promise to check in more often.

Take care and God Bless you and God Bless America!

It's SO Good to See you, Dearest Amy!

Hi Amy. You have indeed been missed around here.

Hope your workload decreases through the month of September.

Well Prepared
September 4, 2012

The idea of always being prepared makes me think of the man who lived next door to us when I was growing up. When Mr. Nienhuis came home, he never failed to back his car into the garage. That seemed unusual to me until my mother explained that Nels was a volunteer fireman. If he got a call, he had to be ready to race to the fire station. He backed in so he could leave quickly when he had to report for duty.

To be well prepared is important in so much of life. “If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend 6 sharpening my axe,” said Abraham Lincoln. We prepare for a career by studying. We buy insurance in case of a car accident or a house fire. We even prepare for the end of life by making a will to provide for loved ones.

The Bible tells us we must prepare ourselves spiritually as well. We do that by putting on spiritual armor to protect ourselves from spiritual attack (Eph. 6:10-20); by preparing our minds for holy living (1 Peter 1:13); by making sure we’re always prepared to answer questions about the reason for the hope we possess (3:15); and by ensuring that we are ready for the promised return of Jesus (Matt. 24:44).

How well prepared are you for what lies ahead? Unsure? Ask the Lord for His help and guidance.

When I awake at early morn
To meet the coming day,
I want to be prepared to take
Whatever comes my way. —Simmons

Spiritual victory comes only to those who are prepared for battle.

Read: Ephesians 6:10-20

You also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. —Matthew 24:44

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 1-3

Have no fear and no stress Amy!
We understand that life’s circumstances get in the way.
You have to take care of things.

Hugs back atcha, Kitty.

It is so good to come back to Amy's and see my friends.
I've missed everyone.

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday.

The scouts motto ... “be prepared” ... is an excellent one.

This is true in all walks of life. Think ahead, plan for needed things. Always have ready necessary medicines, food, water, communication means, full tank of gas, protection means, blankets, a plan of sorts. Where to go, where to meet, the rest of the family, etc.

Pray God to not need these precautions, but have them. To which I would add ... be right with God, take a Holy Bible. Thank the LORD for his grace, a very present help ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psalm 46:1 KJV "46. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[JustAmy]

Happy Tuesday, DD.
