After years of strenuous effort you finally complete the task. Then you step back and wait for your cistern to fill—and it leaks. You discover—too late—that all cisterns, no matter how well constructed, will leak. The story is a picture of the futility of our attempts to find satisfaction in life. It's an age-old problem. God told the prophet Jeremiah that His people "have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters." Instead, they had expended their efforts on "broken cisterns that can hold no water" (Jeremiah 2:13). Are you driven by soul-thirst, yearning for satisfaction? There is a spring of living water, rising from hidden depths, pouring into our hearts, satisfying us even as it makes us thirst for more. Stoop down and drink. Only God can satisfy your heart. Everything else will deceive and disappoint. "Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst," said Jesus. "But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:14). —David Roper
And nothing satisfying there I found; But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came, Where springs of living water did abound. —Peterson © 1950, Singspiration, Inc. Only Living Water can quench the driving thirst of the soul.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Keith Herrin, seated at right, advises Iraqi soldiers during a simulation exercise on Aug. 15 in Kirkuk, Iraq. In the ethnic melting pot of this northern Iraqi city, half the recruits speak Kurdish, the other half Arabic. Loyalties are complicated by regional ties to Kurdistan, the autonomous region to the north. For Iraqi military commanders, and the Americans working with them, the struggle is as much about training recruits for battle as it is instilling allegiance to an undivided Iraq.
Well Sahib, it is like this, if you want to be a leader in the new Iraq Military, you have to learn how to give a real good foot massage.

Inexplicably, the newest Pea Soup recipe at the Baghdad Mess Hall has come to be one of the least favorite concoctions of the Baghdad military cooking staff.
My country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty, to thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
Thanks for the tread.
Lovely poem.

We have lost BNAS..
Here is a sentiment from a Maine Freeper that says it all..
I am sorry if it is too political..
"Well congratulations Maine voters, you have been sending US Military haters to Washington and now you have gotten what you’ve been hoping for, less military in Maine, BNAS GONE!
Yup, let’s give olympia, bill, susie, tom, johnnie and crowd a great big hurrah."
Just wanted to let you know how it went down..
I'm in for abit..
Hugs alla round!
Ms.B
This describes we on FR, those on the Caravan, as well as our mean and women serving in the military.
Neh 4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, [which is] great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Congratulations!!

After his divorce, Mr. Lewis realized that poker isn’t the only game that starts with holding hands and ends with an astounding financial loss.
Picture yourself swinging a pick, digging from dawn to dusk, chiseling a cistern out of the hard, unyielding stone. You stay on the job, working through the biting cold of winter and the blazing heat of summer.
