GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



"The Star Spangled Banner"
Verse Four
(Click)


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like
to be admitted to or released from my music ping list

Not sure I like working directly under it...an act of faith that it can’t slip.

I have everything I need unpacked and the rest "stuffed" somewhere for later sorting.

Zach's playing rhythm guitar in his school's chapel worship service Friday; looking forward to seeing that.

Doing some electrical work for my landlady's properties too, a little extra money always helps.

Other than that, living the good life!
