~ God Bless Our Military ~

We ask Lord, that you guide the leaders of our great country in all of their decisions. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decision.

Protect and guide our military Oh Lord; strengthen them in their trials; give them courage to fact the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; dansangel, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, all military personnel and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Where To Look

Read:
Romans 8:35-39

Let us run . . . , looking unto Jesus. -Hebrews 12:1-2

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 10-12

Let's see. What is the crisis of the day? It could be terrorism and its random threat. Or the economy and the fear that we will run out of money before we run out of time. Maybe it's a personal crisis with no foreseeable solution-a tragedy or a failure too great to bear.

Before we fall under the weight of our accumulated fears, we would do well to look back to a 20th-century woman who bore sadness, pain, and heartache with grace.

Corrie ten Boom lived through the hellish life of Nazi concentration camps-a place where hope was lost for most people. She survived to tell her story of unfaltering faith and tight-fisted hope in God.

She saw the face of evil up close and personal. She saw some of the most inhumane acts man can do to man. And when she came out of it all, she said this: "If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest."

Where are you looking? Are you focusing on the world and its dangers? Are you gazing at yourself, hoping to find your own answers? Or are you looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith? (Hebrews 12:1-2). In an uncertain world, we must keep looking to Him. -Dave Branon

Looking to Jesus, my spirit is blest,
The world is in turmoil, in Him I have rest;
The sea of my life around me may roar,
When I look to Jesus, I hear it no more. -Anon.

When your world is falling apart, trust Jesus to hold it together.

Ack!
Too much Hillary, not enough Prozac!

:-)

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL!! Great thread.

Hmm, I'll defer to The Mayor on whether today's calendar is theologically correct. But it's pretty!!

[Diver Dave]

Poor ol' Hillary.
Once again the "victim" of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Great Essay, JH2 and the layout is terrific, dansy.
Keep up the good work!

[Billie]

EEEUUUWWWW! Almost had to hold my nose and turn off graphics to get through this one! All those pictures of HILLARY!!!!!

Democrats are confident that Hillary's candidacy means the next Commander-in-Chief will be a woman. And for once I agree. The woman's name is Condi Rice.

It did have a happy ending though. :)

(no surprise!)

[LadyX]

Gotta love the pictures you paint, Dear John!

First, Condi sashays across the world, hummin'

These Boots Are Made For Walkin' - -

Somewhere in Iraq a delighted sheep (with purple hoof) bleats out:

"BAAA-thists and insurgents - BE GONE!!"

Just like what you said about the Domino Effect.
Condi dresses as Lady Liberty:

And one can just imagine our GWB like this:

Ya think I should send a sympathy card to the DNC??
Nah...:))
Let 'em whirl around in their fury, barking up all the wrong trees!

Glad they don't realize how utterly foolish they truly are --

Thanks, John, for our weekly delightful essay with laughs..:))

Love n hugs,
