How ya doing, OWF...

Really well......and it doesn't make any human sense, does it? We are buoyed up by the prayers of family and friends, and our faith in our God who is our ROCK and our fortress.

......when sorrows like sea billows roll......Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul!"

With your strong faith in God, it does make sense. Continue to let everyone's praise lift you up.

Hi ohioWfan,

I was sitting here trying to come up with the right thing to say... and you said it first ! It is well with my soul-

I did have a thought (when am I at a loss for words ? LOL) Eric is in some mighty fine company. Think of all of the patriots that have come before him in the defense of our country ? Now, think of all of the men and women that have put on a uniform of the Armed Forces of the United States in the defense of America AND her allies ? The sheer numbers are staggering. Every single war time hero and every single serving member in peacetime, comprises the finest fighting forces the world has ever known. A selfless act. A man... a woman... takes an oath pledging all, for the greater good.

I humbly ask the good Lord for the protection of Eric and all of the men and women, stepping up in this hour of need to defend our nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Make your hedge of protection strong Lord. Give us strength. Reveal our friends. Bring us together. Thank you Lord.

It is not supposed to make HUMAN sense, but we know why you feel as you do.

I just remembered the words to a Rev. Carey Landry hymn which seems to fit Eric's comment, as well as the situation in Iraq.

Peace is flowing like a river
Flowing out from you and me
Flowing out into the desert
Setting all the captives free
