Romans 8: 38-39- for I am pursuaded that neither death nor life
Nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present- nor
Things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature
Shall be able to separate us from the love of God. Which is IN
Christ Jesus our Lord!
Love this verse!

Yes, I do have a very precious verse….Phil. 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ!” HE will finish what HE starts! Praise GOD for all these preciousones who have gone to protect us at the danger of loosing their lives or being wounded for life!!
Psalm 23 1-6 I wonder how many times this has gone through the heads of our fighting men and women just before an engagement, beach landing, or jump?
1The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
He is forever with me.
Abe: The best one yet!!
God, Thy will be done.
Don’t know how many times I said and heard that in Vietnam.
And now ,,,,,God bless all that served, were hurt, and were killed and God bless all that said prayers for us. You were the real heroes. Thank you for supporting us.
I served in the Korean war,and I was able to return to my loved ones. I beg of you,please do not call me a hero,for those that were not able to return are the real hero’s. I did my duty to my country,and I love my country and at the age of 83 I will still defend my country if need be. From a Marine veteran, Semper Fi Always faithful.

Romans 12:1-2
I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and man loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in
God.
Father drive out evil in this country and Your Light shine on us again. This is Your Country. In Jesus Name, amen.
Father thank you for all Men and Women who have served, died, and are serving this Great Country. Bless each and every one of them, protect them, provide for them and heal them in Jesus name, amen
Thank you Peggy. People like you have led to my healing. God bless you.
God Bless Our Veterans and our country. Pray for our homeless Veterans.

James 1;2-3 “Consider it all joy when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance”! I was never in the service, but I think that I do know, now, what it means to be a soldier. At home, or abroad, on land or at sea. in an unknown place with your life in the hands of your officers and your team, the guys who you put your life in their hands in order to survive in a war that nobody wants, and nobody but you and your comrades fully understands. Grieve for the fallen, and thank God that you made it home. Thank you for your service!
