I believe I read once that at the gates to a park or cemetery at Gettysburg where heavy fighting raged a sign was posted that stated "All persons found to be using firearms on these premises will prosecuted with the utmost vigor of the law." Assuming it's not an apocryphal story, ironic humor among the carnage. Brave men on both sides fighting for what they believed in--American vs. American; brother against brother.
Truly our saddest war.
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the foxhole.
Good morning ALL
Morning!
A podiatric surgeon says we often get used to sprains and put up with them, but "even minor sprains should be rehabilitated so they don't happen again." And, of course, a major injury always requires proper treatment. When Jeremiah spoke the Lord's message against the corrupt spiritual leaders of Judah, he said: "They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, saying, 'Peace, peace!' when there is no peace" (Jeremiah 6:14). He repeated the accusation of inadequate treatment for serious spiritual injury in 8:11, then asked, "Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there . . . for the health of the daughter of my people?" (v.22). Jeremiah's searching question inspired an old spiritual that proclaims the message of hope and forgiveness we still need today: "There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul." That balm is the healing power of Jesus for our deep wound of sin. Have you applied His balm? David McCasland
But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. Trad. The Great Physician always has the right remedy.

Wonderful read about one of the greatest battles in American history. Next to Hancock, Chamberlain is one of the few Union officers that captured my interest. A regular guy and a quick learner; it was his undaunted courage that earmarked him.
Many of you have vowed to visit Gettysburg someday, I cannot emphasize enough the impact it will have on you.
Breastworks of the 44th New York Infantry then . . .
. . . and today.
Thanks sweets!
