Hi miss Feather
LOL!
LOL ;-)
Please pray for me.
A good friend, a man I have called "dad" for the last 20 years, a U.S. Navy vet died this morning. I am far away and can't make it home to be with the loved ones right now.
All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)

Prayers offered. Sam and I are so sorry to hear of your loss.
Thank you Samwise, Snippy and Samwolf.
Boss sent me home tonight. I've made some necesary calls and am at loose ends now waiting to hear what the plans are. I really need to be able to make another trip home this weekend but will be rough to get there. Thanks for all prayers.
:-)
Thank you sir. We all lost a great patriotic American and Navy vet today. I know that in this place that kind of person is appreciated well. :-) I've always been pretty honored that such folks counted me as friend. :-)
Sad news bump.
Thanks. :-) ~snif~
One prayer...on the way.
So sorry to hear that.
Don't know if anyone else got pinged on this

Thank all of you praying Freepers and please continue to pray for mine and for all others that are in harms way. My son took a licking and is lower back sore but still ticking, thank God.
I talked to him while he was still in the hospital in Baghdad (I guess that is where the hospital is.) and then he is scheduled to be flown back to camp later. God has spared him again.

Thanks for the prayers Valin. Praying for TexKat's son and family too. Night.
Pretty Cool!
Hang in there kid! Better days are coming.
Of course in the mean time there's a blackhole in the center of the galaxy. :-)
Thanks Valin
