{{{SARGE!!!}}} Thank you for your reports and pictures. I've been reluctant to post to you because I know bandwidth is at a premium over there, but I think of you each and every day and include you in my prayers.Gen 19:3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
This week - today, actually , will be the last communication from me for a while.
I have been forced into a position I do not like, ]
and have had to make choices I
never wanted to make again.
But - that's life.
The only thing we can count on is Change.
The sun will rise again another day, babies will be born,
people will pass on,
and taxes will still have to be paid.
My farewell to you all - Canteeners and Soldiers
I hold so dear -
is one of Allegiance and Love.
I may be gone for a long while,
But my heart will always be here - with the ones I have come to love so much,
And above all -
Know my support for the Troops and our President will not waver.
I am, and always will be -
A FReeper .
Love in Christ,
Just Kimberly
