The Canteen Chapel

Although we are always aware
that the Canteen is operating
in Cyberspace, we want the troops
and anyone who is on the receiving end
of prayers at the Canteen,
to know that these prayers are very real.

I hope the troops and Canteeners
alike, will view this Canteen Chapel,
as a place where you might go in times of
trouble or times of joy to be with your God.

"Come unto me all ye who are weary and
burdened,and I shall give you rest." (Matt: 11:28).

George W. Bush: A President of Faith

A Man of Prayer

A reporter on CNN was asked

"What did George W. Bush do
on his first morning as president-elect?"

This was Tony Clark's answer:

"He attended a prayer service with family,
friends and staff members."

George W Bush's priorities were established
on the first day of his Presidency.

The President Takes His Faith to Work

President George W. Bush looks over to Thomas Martello, 6,
during the signing ceremony of the Victims of Terrorism
Tax Relief Act in the East Room Jan. 23.
"We're joined today by families who have lost loved ones
in the great acts of evil," said the President.
"As you draw on faith and personal strength to cope with your grief,
I hope you'll also find comfort in the knowledge that
your nation stands with you and prays for you.
We mourn those whom we've lost, and we face the future together."

The President Lives his Faith

President Bush says he prays every day
in all kinds of situations,
and has been seen to quietly bow his head and pray
before news conferences and important meetings.
"I pray for guidance. I do not pray for earthly things
but for heavenly things, for wisdom
and patience and understanding."

"For strength and support, Bush turns to
the same things that have sustained
him for two decades: his faith and his family . . .
Bush prays and reads the Bible every day.
These days, aides say, they often spot
a Bible on his desk in the Oval Office.
In conversation or meetings, he often refers to
passages of Scripture that he has just read."

"There are prayers that help us last
through the day, or endure the night.
There are prayers of friends and strangers
that give us strength for the journey.
And there are prayers that yield
our will to a will greater than our own."

George W. Bush September 14, 2001
National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.

Psalm 59:1,16&17
(Patti Vaillant)

"Deliver me from mine enemies,O my God:
Defend me from them that rise up against me.
But I will sing of thy power;yes I will sing
aloud of thy mercy in the morning; for thou
hast been my defence and refuge in the day
of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength will
I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of 
my mercy."

Our Prayer
(Celine Dion/Andrea Bocelli)

I pray you'll be our eyes, 
And watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise 
In times when we don't know.

Let this be our prayer, 
When we lose our way.
Lead us to a place, 
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe. 

I pray we'll find your light,
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where you are.. 

Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace 
Give us faith so we'll be safe.

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above.
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer,
Just like every child,
Needs to find a place, 
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.

......."Hi. I was looking for Support the Troops Stories and found your place. I saw some stories about Rallys you people do and was going to link you to them but you already have them linked.
I like your prayers and the way you support our troops. Are you part of the real USO? "...........

I used to be with the USO and Bob Hope many years ago. It is a wonderful organiation.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! I had to reboot.

I brought the spoons. I hope the ice cream hasn't melted waiting for me to get here.

[Jen]

Hi there and welcome to the Canteen. Nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping in and for being a big supporter of our wonderful Troops! That's our mission here - to support our troops and veterans and to let them know that they are loved and appreciated and never forgotten. And to provide a place where they can come for some cyber R&R.

Our founder and hostess Snow Bunny got permission from the national USO to use the USO name on this daily thread. Although it's not sponsored by the USO, we follow the policies and guidelines of the USO. Hope that answers your question.

Snow Bunny - correct me if I'm wrong in anything I said about the Canteen.

[Jen]

{{{{{HUG}}}}} Thank you Tonk for prayers for my mom and my family. God bless you real good my friend.

[Radix]

Can you handle correction Anti jen?

[Jen]

Uhhhhhh, what kind?

[Jen]

Are you teasing me, or did I state something wrong?

[Radix]

Can you handle teasing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night Bad Boy. You did really "bad" today, and I thank you for your badness. Great pics and graphics. God bless you good and thank you for your service to our country.

Kathy you going get snow very soon if it is rain ALOT In AK

I did talk to my uncle he said he got rain overnight Saturday night then clear up to nice 40 degree weather day

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Whenever I have to re-boot I have to wait at least 20 minutes before I can start my computer again,
otherwise I keep getting errors.
That is why late at night I just disappear sometime without saying good night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We know today that Hollywood-media is out of touch and does not represent the courageous American people. We will not let the "peaceniks" win this battle, no matter their number, noise level or smell. We will not let our troops down...and we will never forget your sacrifices.

Amen, Ragtime, amen. Thank you for bringing us this story.

[Jen]

I can handle teasing, if you don't mind some in return! hehehe

[Radix]

You sound like my daughter did when she was only three. That was more than 20 years ago!

[Jen]

I bet she was cute and precocious!

[Radix]

Oh yes, and little has changed.
