Today! Pray today! It is so important that we are praying
for and supporting our military troops. Thousands of U.S. troops
have been deployed around the world in the fight against
terrorism and in readiness for war with Iraq.
Though only our good Lord knows what the future holds, it
is still so important that our soldiers know we are lifting
them up. Pray for the men and women serving our country.

War with Iraq has begun. (2003) Continue to pray earnestly.

"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and
ask, believe that you have received them, and they will
be granted you."
Mark 11:24

Write the Troops!

I found a website that is getting mail to the men and
women in the military. Yes! You can be a part of this
effort to let the soldiers know that they are thought of
and prayed for. What a wonderful way to offer them
encouragement!!!! We need to keep their moral
up during this time. It doesn't take more than a
pen and some paper.

You can even put together a
care package and send it to the link following. The
moms will do the rest and make sure that a soldier
is uplifted. For more information, go to:

Write the Troops

Military Moms has made it easy for you.
Everything you need to know to support our troops is there.
So, what are you waiting for?

Here is another opportunity to send care packages
to our troops. All I ask is that you abide by the
restrictions and guidelines they have set. This is VERY
important if you want your care package to make it
to your loved one. This goes for the link above as well.
Thank you.

Serving Proudly

by Autumn Parker

I am a small and precious child,my dads been sent to fight..
The only place I'll see his face,is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad,but I am proud. My daddys got your back..

I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war..
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared,but I am proud..My son has got your back..

I am a strong and loving wife,with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip,and force a smile as I watch my husband pack..
My heart may break,but I am proud..My husbands got your back..

I am a soldier..Serving Proudly,standing tall.
I fight for freedom,yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing,the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me whose got your back.

"The Lord helps them and delivers them;
He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they take refuge in Him."

"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your
faith is spoken of throughout the whole world."

I wanted to make sure we remembered September 11, 2001.
After all, this is when we truly opened our eyes.

In Remembrance of September 11, 2001....
Here is a prayer by Max Lucado prayed after the 9-11 tragedy.
(Written by Max Lucado for "America Prays", a national prayer
vigil on September 15, 2001)

Dear Lord,
We’re still hoping we’ll wake up. We’re still hoping we’ll open a
sleepy eye and think, "What a horrible dream."

But we won’t, will we, Father? What we saw was not a dream. Planes
did gouge towers. Flames did consume our fortress. People did perish.
It was no dream and, dear Father, we are sad.

There is a ballet dancer who will no longer dance and a doctor who will
no longer heal. A church has lost her priest, a classroom is minus a
teacher. Cora ran a food pantry. Paige was a counselor and Dana, dearest
Father, Dana was only three years old. (Who held her in those final
moments?)

We are sad, Father. For as the innocent are buried, our innocence is
buried as well. We thought we were safe. Perhaps we should have known
better. But we didn’t.

And so we come to you. We don’t ask you for help; we beg you for it.
We don’t request it; we implore it. We know what you can do. We’ve read
the accounts. We’ve pondered the stories and now we plead, "Do it again,
Lord. Do it again."

Remember Joseph? You rescued him from the pit. You can do the same
for us. Do it again, Lord.

Remember the Hebrews in Egypt? You protected their children from
the angel of death. We have children, too, Lord. Do it again.

And Sarah? Remember her prayers? You heard them. Joshua? Remember
his fears? You inspired him. The women at the tomb? You resurrected
their hope. The doubts of Thomas? You took them away.
Do it again, Lord. Do it again.

You changed Daniel from a captive into a king’s counselor. You took
Peter the fisherman and made him Peter an apostle. Because of you, David
went from leading sheep to leading armies. Do it again, Lord, for we
need counselors today, Lord. We need apostles. We need leaders. Do it
again, dear Lord.

Most of all, do again what you did at Calvary. What we saw here last
Tuesday, you saw there on that Friday. Innocence slaughtered. Goodness
murdered. Mothers weeping. Evil dancing. Just as the ash fell on our
children, the darkness fell on your Son. Just as our towers were shattered,
the very Tower of Eternity was pierced.

And by dusk, heaven’s sweetest song was silent, buried behind a rock.

But you did not waver, O Lord. You did not waver. After three days
in a dark hole, you rolled the rock and rumbled the earth and turned
the darkest Friday into the brightest Sunday. Do it again, Lord. Grant
us a September Easter.

We thank you, dear Father, for these hours of unity. Disaster has
done what discussions could not. Doctrinal fences have fallen.
Republicans are standing with Democrats. Skin colors have been
covered by the ash of burning buildings. We thank you for these
hours of unity.

And we thank you for these hours of prayer. The Enemy sought to
bring us to our knees and succeeded. He had no idea, however,
that we would kneel before you. And he has no idea what you can do.

Let your mercy be upon our President, Vice President, and their
families. Grant to those who lead us wisdom beyond their years and
experience. Have mercy upon the souls who have departed and the
wounded who remain. Give us grace that we might forgive and faith
that we might believe.

And look kindly upon your church. For two thousand years you’ve
used her to heal a hurting world.
Do it again, Lord. Do it again.

Through Christ, Amen.

9-11 Remembrance

Also, in My Quiet Room, there is a wonderful prayer
shared by Colonel Thomas. It was prayed not long
after 9-11. I encourage you to go and read it.
Better yet...let it be a prayer of your heart.

How did it get this far?

"But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to
remain, in order to show you My power and in order
to proclaim My name through all the earth."
Exodus 9:16

We really need to be leaning on God's wisdom and
not our own. Though I agree a war is not something
I wish to see our country and soldiers endure, I
have to say that if it is God's will then trust Him
I will. I want to encourage you to keep those
prayers going up and to trust our Loving and
All Knowing Father with all your heart. Pray for
a quick resolve. Pray for few casualities. Pray for
God's hand in it all. God bless our nation!
