There were other American military men attached to the Red Army in a number of countries, including the Soviet Union because they were supply liaison officers for American goods coming in under the various Soviet aid “Protocols”.
Their stories are also interesting because they saw how the Soviets occupied so-called “liberated countries”, and what they did to Germans who were living in them as “citizens”, many for centuries (esp. Hungary).

Watchful Care
July 23, 2018
Do not I fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:24
Before he raced out the door to school, I asked my son if he had brushed his teeth. Asking again, I reminded him of the importance of telling the truth. Unmoved by my gentle admonishment, he half-jokingly informed me that what I really needed was a security camera in the bathroom. Then I could check for myself if he had brushed his teeth and he wouldnt be tempted to lie.
While the presence of a security camera may help remind us to follow the rules, there are still places we can go unnoticed or ways we can avoid being seen. Although we may evade or trick a security camera, we fool ourselves if we think we are ever outside the gaze of God.
God asks, Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? (Jeremiah 23:24). There is both an encouragement and a warning in His question.
The warning is that we cannot hide from God. We cant outrun or fool Him. Everything we do is visible to Him.
The encouragement is that there is no place on earth or in the heavens where we are outside the watchful care of our heavenly Father. Even when we feel alone, God is with us. No matter where we go today, may the awareness of that truth encourage us to choose obedience to His Word and receive comfortHe watches over us.
Lord Jesus, thank You that there is nowhere I can go that is outside of Your loving gaze. Knowing You see me, help me to honor You with my words and actions.
We are never outside the watchful care of our heavenly Father.
The rich theme of Gods constant care for us we see in todays text is also seen in the psalms. David, threatened by powerful enemies, found great comfort and strength in knowing that God knew everything about him (Psalm 139:16). He marveled that the omniscient, omnipotent God was always present with him. Acknowledging there was no place where he was outside of Gods provision and protection, David affirmed: I can never get away from your presence! (v. 7 nlt). When we realize the all-powerful Godwho knows all about usis constantly with us, it will impact how we live (vv. 2324). The writer of Hebrews says, Nothing in all creation is hidden from Gods sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account (4:13). Therefore, lets be quick to run to Him for refuge for the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Are you hemmed in by lifes trials and troubles? Refresh yourself with knowing that God knows and He cares.

HI radu!
I did visit the pups and the little guy is a bit more mellow now but he still considers himself the top dog, always must be pet first and demands I play throw-the-toy-and-maybe-I'll-bring-it-back game.
Other than that, just kicked back relaxin'.
How wuz your day?

Happy it has cooled off today. I am a bit slow as happiness was yesterdays theme.
The father of a friend was a POW in the battle of the Bulge. The Russians came to liberate the camp and some did not like the direction the Russians were going so they ducked out and made it back to American lines. The camp disappeared behind Russian lines never to be heard form again.
Joe Beyrle is quite lucky.
