He will for God has commanded it

Gen 31:13 I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Eze 34:28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid.

That is a good thing. He is just far enough away to miss his Mom and Dad. Going out on your own, means coming to the realization that just because you open a cupboard or drawer, all the stuff you are used to finding there, isn't. I remember my first apartment. Went to make cookies for a work thing...no cinnamon, no something else. Several trips to the store. Those things were always there at home.

[txradioguy]

No it's not on Cable there...but it never hurts to put in a request.

I know it's on the DISH Network.

And it's online!

You can watch the programs (including our newscast) on their website.

[Kathy in Alaska]

They were on such a tight schedule taht I didn't have time to pull them aside. So I'll use what they said on statge as my soundbites.

[SevenofNine]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sunday.....Camp Casey

[Kathy in Alaska]

I don't think I like the sound of recruiting women suicide bombers......Hamas is scum.

[txradioguy]

The Chairman wanted to come through here since he'd been the Commander of U.S. Forces Japan before he went to DC.

This is his farewell to the troops before he retires.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I saw that....too cool that he is going to visit with his troops all over the world where they are protecting all of us. And how cool that he wanted to revisit his troops in the Far East.

Did you enjoy the show?

[txradioguy]

IT was great. Geoff Ross and Collin QUinn were very funny.

BTW...did I tell you I got LeeAnn Tweeden's e-mail address?

[Kathy in Alaska]

YES....you told me you got her e-mail address. LOL!!

Would that be THIS LeeAnn Tweeden?

So....I assume this means that you got to chat directly with her.
