To: TEXOKIE
Amen to your prayer, Texokie. Your prayers are directed by His Holy Spirit. I print many out to put with my prayer list and read again in prayer. Thank you.
My AF son, Mitchell, returned last year from Oman. He married and is having his first baby this month. We'll be with him. His little girl will be delivered by c-section on April 26 and he will leave the first part of June for Qatar. Military life is very hard. Thank you all for your prayers.
I want to tell you all if no one has already, (I should find the article and post it) that a soldier from Midland/Greenwood was killed in Iraq last weekend. He was one of the 8 soldiers killed in Sadr City before the 12 were killed. I had read about him in our paper a few months ago as his mother, Sylvia Munoz, had one daughter and 3 sons serving in the military..2 in the army and 2 in the marines.
Midland mourned his death and it was front page for two days. Laura Bush has been in town a few days visiting her mother and when she learned of the death, she went (secretly of course)to the family to comfort them and pay respect, bless her.

Thank you so much for your kind and very generous words, maranatha. I am so grateful that the prayers have been useful. Truly all glory goes to God. I have been so grateful that you and so many Prayer Warriors have been so steadfast in the vigil for our troops and those who stand with them.
Thank you for updating us on Mitchell. We will certainly keep him in our prayers as his departure for Qatr approaches in June. We also are very pleased to learn of his marriage and impending arrival of his new baby! Please keep us updated! In just a very few days, it appears you will be a grandparent! How exciting! We pray and trust God that all goes well with the C-section. You can bet we're gonna wanna know DETAILS! :-)
Thank you for relating the story about Laura Bush. Indeed, may God truly bless her for her compassionate heart. We share your sorrow at having the young Munoz boy from your local area lost to the fighting in Sadr City. If you decide to post the story, please feel free to post a link here. What an amazing and precious family. Where do we get families like this? Praise God for them and for your own family and all the families who have sent their young heroes into the armed services.

Joining Texokie in her prayers all around.
Thanks for letting us know about Mitchell. Praying all is well with the baby and wife and new daddy on the 26th, and you folks also, of course.
Adding Mitchell to our list and noting that he'll be leaving for Qatar the first part of June. Prayers for a safe time and trip back to us here.
Wonderful story about Laura Bush. What a woman, what a woman! In these difficult times a persons true heart has a chance to shine. Bless her.
