Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Pearl Harbor is an amazing, solemn place. I recommend it to everyone who can get there.
Also, the little ride out to Ford Island to tour the USS Missouri is wonderful. You can see the USS Arizona Memorial from the spot on the deck where the surrender was signed.

I don’t think of Dec. 7th, as PEARL HARBOR DAY, but rather
as the start of the countdown to HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI DAYS.
THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD YOU DO!

December 7Prayer of the Broken-Down
Help me, Lord my God.
Psalm 109:26 “Dear Father in heaven, I’m not a praying man, but if you’re up there, and you can hear me, show me the way. I’m at the end of my rope.” That prayer is whispered by a broken-down George Bailey, the character played by Jimmy Stewart in the classic film
It’s a Wonderful Life. In the now iconic scene, Bailey’s eyes fill with tears. They weren’t part of the script, but as he spoke that prayer Stewart said he “felt the loneliness, the hopelessness of people who had nowhere to turn.” It broke him.
Bailey’s prayer, boiled down, is simply “Help me.” And this is exactly what’s voiced in Psalm 109. David was at the end of his rope: “poor and needy,” his “heart . . . wounded” (v. 22), and his body “thin and gaunt” (v. 24). He was fading “like an evening shadow” (v. 23), and sensed himself to be an “object of scorn” in the eyes of his accusers (v. 25). In his extreme brokenness, he had nowhere else to turn. He cried out for the Sovereign Lord to show him the way: “Help me, Lord my God” (v. 26).
There are seasons in our lives when “broken down” says it all. In such times it can be hard to know what to pray. Our loving God will respond to our simple prayer for help.
Reflect & Pray
When was the last time you felt broken down by life? If you have a family member or friend who currently feels that way, how might you help?
Dear Father, some days are hard. They feel hopeless. Turn my heart to You in my brokenness. Give me strength to simply ask for help.

A few decades ago, I had a job with an office on Ford island. Was in an old WWII hangar on the SE corner. Near where all those seaplanes got nailed.
Spent a good while wandering around. The old hangar door tracks are still there from the wrecked buildings. Original concrete is still good. Looked for bullet pockmarks from the strafing, never saw anything definite.
As far as I could tell, stood close to the spot that famous photo of the Shaw blowing up was taken. Not that far away across the channel, had to have been loud.

I was 7 years old December 7th 1941 in a family of Mom and Dad, two brothers and three sisters and remember hearing about Pearl Harbor on the radio that day. By June my two brothers were drafted, one sister joined the Wacs and the other sister moved to Redwood City to work in a “defense plant” leaving my little sister and I alone on the farm in FResno county...
