Holzer, thank God. At least I won't have to drive to Huntington at 5:00 a.m.
Everything got quiet around here. Happens about this time every night. I think the East coasters go to bed and the West coasters are still eating supper. Just about the time I give up and decide to go to bed the Calif. crew starts reporting in. Of course Mama_Bear has been here for two days. That's because the weekend thread is her assignment. I'm about to give it up for the night. My head is falling on the keyboard. LOL. Some morning I'm going to wake up and the asdf ;lkj on my forehead will be permanent.
Good night and sweet dreams, everyone.
Goodnight Lori. Rest in God's love. See you tomorrow, God willing.
Well, back to the drawing board...
Read reply #53.
I will include him in my nightly prayers for our troops.
May he serve with stength and calm and return safely to those who love him.
Please thank him for me.

Many years ago an accomplished organist was giving a concert. (In those days someone had to pump large bellows backstage to provide air for the pipes.) After each song, the audience applauded heartily. Before his final number, the organist stood and said, "I shall now play . . ." and he announced the title. He sat down and adjusted his music. With feet poised over the pedals and hands over the keys, he began with a mighty chord. But the organ remained silent. Just then a voice was heard from backstage: "Say 'We'!"
In the Lord's work, there is plenty of room for personal achievement. Our abilities are God-given, and the Holy Spirit helps us to excel in what we do best. But a self-sufficient spirit that overlooks the contributions of others can ruin it all. No Christians have ever climbed the ladder of success alone. With them were mothers, fathers, friends, a husband, a wife, or children who prayed, sacrificed, and did what they could to help.
Aware of our deep indebtedness to others, we should be grateful for their vital role in the Lord's work in and through us. A note of sincere thanks, a word of honest recognition, or a thoughtful deed of love will help to "keep the organ playing." -Dennis De Haan
It's amazing what can be accomplished when you don't care who gets the credit.
SOUTHWEST ASIA -- With three American flags on board his F-15 Eagle, Lt. Col. Matt Meloy prepares for a mission at a forward deployed location in Southwest Asia. "I have two in the front of the canopy to represent my two kids and I carry one on me for my wife," said Meloy. Many servicemembers will celebrate Independence Day on U.S. soil with family and friends, but there are many who will spend the holiday on duty around the world. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

ATTENTION: VIETNAM VETS!
Thirty years have passed since the end of the Vietnam War. During those three decades, the brave men and women who served in that conflict have never been given the recognition they deserve for their heroic sacrifices in service to our country. Now, the time for that recognition has come. Welcome Home…America’s Tribute to Vietnam Veterans will be the homecoming celebration they never received. This first-ever national event will take place June 13-June 19, 2005 in Branson, Missouri. Including veterans, their families and friends, 100,000 participants from across the country are expected to attend. For Vietnam Veterans and their loved ones, and our nation, this celebration is profoundly important. By honoring those who answered their country’s call during a difficult time in our nation’s history, the legacy of duty, honor and country will be passed on to America’s sons and daughters who will be called to serve in the future. It’s an idea whose time has come.

What a wonderful idea! Wish I could be there.
Thank you Allegra. I know that your prayers will mean a lot to KET because you are there in the midst of things. You are in my prayers too. I think of you often and how brave you are to be doing what you are doing (and of your own free will too). God bless you, beautiful woman.
They are running commercials on TV here - St. Louis - and I'm not sure if that's because of the close proximity (~120 miles) to Branson. I thought it was worth posting on FR in places where VN Vets are likely to see it in case they don't know about it and want to join in! *HUGS!*
