Sweet dreams, ms b....I’ve been on the phone with Dell, trying to get my computer to boot. *sigh*

Hello Kathy,

Thanks for the call, that you are here on this night...and time to zero in on our Brave and Strong Troops....

Lord God,....There are so many miles between us and those you have called into battle...But time and distance do not limit you...and so we come before you on our brave soldiers behalf..knowing they are in, or going into, places of danger and uncertainies which require a steady hand, good judgement and courage in the face of fear.

You are limitless Lord God in all you can do for these brave men, to meet and give victory in all situations they might encounter... so we ask you provide and enable them in all which they might confront, so that your victory in these battles would be known and heard.

Surround them with a hedge of thorns to protect them from the enemy and to quicken them when they need to be alert. Confuse and confound those who seek to harm them, and let their very steps be marked by you... before and behind.

And Father, give them wisdom beyond their years for all the decisions they might face...as they fight for us all here on the home front..to keep us and their country free and safe. May they each one know they are in the palm of your great and mighty hand as they march against the enemy of Truth and Freedom.

In Jesus name alone, and may all the glory and honor be His now and forever..........Amen

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, caww....Amen, Amen. Thank you for this prayer of protection for our troops.

I hope you are well. We had several inches of snow today. All is white again.

[caww]

Hello again...burning the late night hours here again...but I enjoy the quietness of the night very much. Live on a busy street.

We have dirty snow here as two days of sun has melted it down. Every car looks grey from the salt and guck. Temps are in the 30’s...after we got clobbered with such mean temps., so it seems almost warm!

Am excited for Browns race in Mass. Has been said either way the race goes it will be ‘The Shot Heard Round the World” we’re taking our country back. If it’s a win... I say it’ll be a nuclear bomb landing on DC.!

Let me share that the song “Amazing Grace”,on the thread tonight, was as sweet as honeycomb. Really set the tone to kneel and remember who it is that is watching every step of these wars, and those who are in the heat of the battles.

Thank you again for this special place to come and remember our troops, and those who have loaned them to us... and for us. cw

Thanks, unique, for the logo!

How Great Thou Art

I think you are right about "The Shot Heard Around The World".
Go Scott Brown!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[caww]

Well now wasn’t that an unexpected surprise! Another thank you, and a different rendition of that old hymn, which never gets old. I think it was Anne Murrays I heard before.
This one had a little more jazz with a bluegrass tilt.

I sure hope our troops know this site is here for them...and that we love and are concerned for them. But then they are in a war, lets hope they get here from time to time as I do feel a little closer to them when I come here.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you so much, BluesDuke, for sharing Ace with our troops.
