Howdy, Sis! ((((hugs))))

It’s good to finally see you. It’s been hard to get here
for me, too.

Gosh...has it been 3 years? That doesn’t seem possible.
God rest his beautiful soul....I’m glad the music helped
you to deal.

I am off on a trip tomorrow...to OKC. Just hope I don’t hit
any icy roads. I’m not good at ice! :)

[BIGLOOK]

It took several minutes just to retrieve your post....like 20. Hope this isn't an omen of things to come.

Now I can see where the medians are as I drive to work.

Why couldn't you see them before?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
Angels guide you while you travel, Sis!
Hope they guide me, too...

Aloha Little Devil; Steely eyed Downeaster, Guadian of our Troops!

Seems the entire eastern US is getting socked in week after week with snow and ice. I've heard complaints from Michigan, Tennessee and Upstate NY....as well as from the NFL.

The loudest beef was about after plowing out or snow blowing their drives, the county snow plows would come through and deposit a four foot snow wall at the end.

(On another note....)Whether they were Freedom Riders or PRG riders, they are our riders. God Bless 'em!

QUIX NOTE:

This comes to me via email from a significantly above average trusted Christian prophetic source. It is anonymous as that is normally her preference. PLEASE PRAYERFULLY consider giving this significant prayer attention. I don't know anything more than is included below.

I can add that I felt an immediate sense of urgency and import when I read the first few lines of it and immediately came to post this here.

Intercessors,

I don't normally send out a personal alert like this but last night, after laying in bed for 30 minutes unable to go to sleep, I suddenly became very antsy. Got up and went to my Bible immediately, asking the Lord what was going on. I received scriptures that talked about utter chaos and devastation to people and property that was going to happen when the Babylonians invaded Israel because of their great sin. I prayed and prayed for hours. Finally was able to go back to bed and slept late. I just now (1:15 pm) turned on my computer and read this email from a friend out here where I live. Shortly after I finally went to bed, God woke her up and, well, you can read what she wrote.

[Dear Sister in Christ]

!!!!! [Sister], I am writing this at 7:09 -- been praying since about 5:30 ---- I believe that the intercessors must start covering ALL ARMED SERVICE BASES in the STATES with prayer. The Lord woke me up this morning with the song and words “When the Cassons come rolling along.

As you know (unless I am wrong) Cassons are horse drawn carriages that pull wagons with soldiers caskets on them !!! Then I had this vision of a highway – two lanes (I don’t know if it was two lane – one each way – I don’t think so - think it was a divided highway ) this section of highway had no vehicles on the road coming towards me or in front of me – however – I was aware that I was above the first vehicle in a long procession of vehicles going down this highway and the highway was tree lined on both sides of the road. – all the Lord has given me was

pray !! the service men are in danger --- and I firmly believe these are home bases – NOT over seas……

Thanks for alerting your intercessors.

WATCHMAN ON THE WALL
PRAYER ALERT

*********************************************************

IF ANY OF YOU have any insight or discernment as you pray over this alert--PLEASE POST SUCH HERE and ping me or SEND ME A FREEPMAIL and I can post it anonymously here.

IF "all" you have is a strong inner sense of the validity of this [or contrawise] PLEASE POST OR FREEPMAIL THAT.

IF you have military loved ones in positions to know such things as this ahead of average, PLEASE share this with them and ask if they are aware of anything.

IF you have military loved ones who are close to God and sensitive to HIS VOICE, please ask them to pray and share their sense about it.

I think you all know I very rarely send this sort of serious urgent prayer alert out. If I knew more, I'd share more. Thanks for reading and praying.

LORD GOD, WE LIFT UP all our service personnel--particularly connected to and on CONUS, Hawaii, Guam, Okinawan, Alaskan, Japanese & Korean bases.

We ask Lord, God that you send extra legions of your Holy Angels to guard the skies, approaches and from sleeper agents within. Cause all unpatriotic evil doers to be found out and neutralized in Jesus' Name.

Cause all enemy evil doer bombs, explosive devices, Muzzie efforts, NWO efforts, globalist efforts against our bases and military personnel to fall uselessly to the ground totally ineffective. If there is to be any harm, let it come to the perpetrators. May they fall in their own schemes and ditches they seek to dig for our patriots.

Lord God may those who know you in this land and around the world be aroused by Holy Spirit and brought to prayer in Your Spirit with great effectiveness, in Jesus' Name.

Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, may the evil doers be exposed from the highest to the lowest. May they be routed, neutralized and severely punished such that they never can even conceive of such again.

Lord God may you guide every military person with a good heart and patriotic intent to be alert and triply effective in all their doings. Cause them to look, step, hear and act in overwhelmingly effective and even miraculous ways in any and all situations of any urgency or emergency import whatsoever.

Cause them to hear in their heads the conversations of evil doers in their areas and to already be moving ahead of the evil doers to neutralize them before the evil doers get to first base. Cause the patriotic Christian military personnel to trust YOUR WORD TO THEM AND TO ACT REDEMPTIVELY INCONFIDENCE AND GREAT EFFECTIVENESS, IN JESUS' NAME.

LORD GOD, May terminal humiliation fall on every complicit traitor within our borders. May they be terminated from this life or at least removed from any hint of public life if they will not confess, repent and come to a Salvation relationship with you, Oh, Lord Jesus. May they wander homeless and hungry if they will not repent and come to you.

LORD GOD, RISE UP WITH GREAT FERVOR LIKE SAMPSON WITH THE JAWBONE OF THE ASS AND DO GREAT EXPLOITS FOR YOU AND FOR ALL OF GOOD HEART AND IN BEHALF OF THEIR FELLOW SERVICE PERSONNEL, IN JESUS' NAME.

LORD GOD, PLEASE INSURE THAT ALL WHO SEEK YOUR FACE AND CALL YOU LORD ARE BROUGHT CLOSER TO YOU IN YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR JOY, YOUR LEADING, YOUR SAFETY, YOUR PROVISION, YOUR WHOLENESS, YOUR HEALTH IN ALL SUCH SITUATIONS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. IN JESUS' NAME.

This and whatever else Holy Spirit would add, we ask IN JESUS' NAME. SO BE IT. AMEN. MARANATHA. Please pass as you feel led to other prayer warriors.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ms b...((HUGS))...finally a reply box. Prayers for you and your Poppa. Glad you could play some tunes to help you through.

Was that weather advisory for you? If it is...you and Moxie be careful.

Did “they” give you any grief for waiting out last week’s snow storm?

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy. How’s the weather? Here we’re getting another round of snow.

[aruanan]

As you know (unless I am wrong) Cassons are horse drawn carriages that pull wagons with soldiers caskets on them !!!

A caisson is, primarily, a two wheeled cart used to pull artillery ammunition. It is also used in burials at Arlington and for use in funerals for United States government dignitaries (such as the POTUS). So she's got a choice of three different meanings: 1. Increased need for ammo for the military, 2. Arlington's going to be busy, 3. Some U.S. government dignitary is going to get popped. Given that she heard the song first, a U.S. field artillery marching song, it's probably not the second or third choices and everything subsequent to her hearing of the song has to be understood in the context of the song. Given that it was written during the occupation of the Philippines, it probably means that the action will take place in the Far East on an island nation threatened by the current Far Eastern hegemonic power as the Philippines was threatened by the then-Far Eastern hegemonic power, Japan. Given that the song is a cheerful song meant to meant to steel resolve in an ongoing conflict, it probably means that action is on the way and we're going to win. All this, of course, rests on other assumptions.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Luv...((HUGS))

Sending prayers with you on your trip, to and fro, to spend time with Piper on her birthday....and her parents.

[Quix]

Thanks much for your input.

Quite plausible logical interpretation.

I’m still leaning toward the sense of both these quality people that it concerns attacks or some such on bases in the USA.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Gut Shabbos, Mooch...((HUGS)) A lot of snow? Be warm and safe.

We just got a couple inches of snow after the temps have finally gotten above zero.

[Kathy in Alaska]

In the dark of winter, a covering of snow on the median shows as a left lane marker. No lane stripes can be seen, and you can only follow the car in front of you, and worry about being too far over on either side. With nice white snow, as opposed to old, melted, dirty snow, one can tell how far over is far enough.
