DARN IT TC! I thought we had this discussion a while ago, about you getting well. ASk yourself this, how are you supposed to orginize a homecomming party if you're down with pneumonia? Some of us are really looking forward to this party you know. So you WILL get better....soon.
So let's get on the ball here, YOU ARE NEEDED...AND MISSED!

Darn!!!! That pneumonia is a bear and gets ya when you least expect it. OK Texas Cowboy...you gotta draw on the supply of faith and friends who are praying and pulling for you more than ever. You can beat this pneumonia too. You are SURE being tested and dont' know why BUT...you are a strong Cowboy and you will prevail over all these setbacks. Get better, get better, get better and we'll all be happy. More prayers for you now buddy...you do your part, we'll do ours and we'll ask our Lord to do a little more. Don't we ALWAYS ask our Lord to do a little more? He's good to us all and now we call upon him to do that little more.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that TC's faith and trust is in You, for You are the Great Physician, Creator and Sustainer. Your Word teaches, Merciful Father, that in Your hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10. Look with mercy upon our beloved friend as he struggles for his very breath ... may Your healing hand rest mightily upon him, that he would be healed. Direct his medical team to provide all that is needed to overcome this crisis ... give strength to his body and ease to his spirit, for he has endured so very much. We knit our hearts for the health and well being of TC ... we stand about his bed and place our hands upon him in prayer and supplication for divine healing, that he might once again rise up to minister with his enormous depth of love and compassion. Hear our prayer, O Lord ... hear our prayer, O Lord ... incline thine ear to us, and grant us thy peace. Amen ...

TC hasn't started the treatment yet. It was put back due to the bowel surgery for 3 weeks. NOt sure if the pneumonia will set it even back further. I guess it depends on how well he does and when he jumps the latest hurdle. Nana

Thank you Pegita. I remember so well your beautiful prayers for our little Logan. You will always have a special place in our hearts.

Surely the Lord has blessed you with this gift of verse in prayer.

God bless you.....

[My thanks to those of you who pinged me to the latest report on TC]

"Listen up, Marine - -"

We go way back to February 2001, TC, and covered a lot of territory on and off the forum.

Waded through many memories; discussions on serious topics on America and its directions; politics; indignation over the Protect the Critters and Environment do-gooders, devastating whole groups of human beings in their zeal for little owls and fishies and slithering things; steering an unsolved mystery; and many, many conversations about Our God and what He wants of us in this life.

You and I know so well He has a Plan for every one of His children, are well grounded in that, and rest in knowing He indeed is in the midst of every situation. Remembering that is a daily requisite for this life.
[You knew that from your early childhood, imbued with a David and Goliath mindset,
God always handing you a slingshot to use, giving you the choice to employ it - or not.]

Another one of our bonds came through our Marine Corps experiences impacting us greatly, esprit de corps embedded into the fabric of our being.

I'm comforted, knowing nearly a year of *the most terrible of challenges* can never really put a dent in that...you and I always can retreat in our minds, tapping into that huge reservoir of courage, and draw renewed strength...we see it as another of Almighty God's wonderful provisions for us!

===============================================

With the operative word of the moment "reservoir"set,
I present a Few Good Men to speak to you:

- - -
"We were at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, TC...
we hung tough, and know you can...
Chesty Puller is here, too, and we all are rootin' for ya..."

"Forward march, TC, just like we did back then."

===============================================

"You remember "Black Hawk Down," TC, when we were in Somalia.
We're with you, man..."

===============================================

"Here are some of us in Nam in '68, TC" - -

- - - -
"We're with you in spirit."

===============================================

"In February 2005, we lost 31 of our Marine brothers in Iraq, TC, and we paid our respects.
We took turns kneeling at the display. One man wept, burying his face into one of his hands. Others hugged."

"One Marine played taps on a bright gold trumpet as hundreds of others stood in stiff salutes and two helicopter gunships flew across a bright blue sky."

"We always have time, though, to say a word for you, too, in your battles."

===============================================

There you have it, old friend.... keep your focus on God's cadence call, and remember how many of us are here with you, praying for you every day...

Hugs n snooches,
as our dear Invictus (military chaplain, WWII & Korea) once said,

He's back in the hospital again. He has pneumonia.

Oh, I really hate to hear that. It's treatable with antibiotics of course, but it can be a bugger on an already weakened system. Of course having an already weakened system is part of the way one gets it, it's an opportunistic little bug.
