Good morning, all. TGIF!
I was asked by another freeper on a Murtha activism thread to post something here.
I've been informed Ollie North says for the first time he's hearing our soldiers wonder if we are going to lose the war because of the American public. He says Zarqawi was claiming victory after the recent spineless Senate vote for Warners bill and that Zarqawi has told his troops they have to just hold on a little longer.
This is what I've feared for most of this year. No one defending the mission and the loss of morale for our soldiers. The left wants another Vietnam and we're handing it to them on a silver platter. Color me disgusted.
We must not let this happen to our beloved troops.
Thanks.

A World In Labor
Read:

Every now and then the earth lets out a moan. Sometimes it's more of a scream, like a mother giving birth.
The apostle Paul said that "the whole creation groans and labors" (Romans 8:22). These groans often take the form of earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, or tsunamis.
A song by Sarah McLachlan speaks to this instability and the often tragic results of such geologic flailing. Called "World On Fire," one verse describes dealing with tragedy this way:
"I watch the heavens and I find a calling; something I can do to change this moment. Stay close to me while the sky is falling; don't want to be left alone."
We aren't alone in longing for Jesus, our Savior, to return. As we wait, He is our constant companion. Like the earth, we rant and rave for God to make things right. We as His followers are called to wait "with perseverance" (v.25) in spite of our earthly uncertainties. Someday all of creation "will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God" (v.21).
Jesus said that He would be with us always, "even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). And we can trust Him to keep His word. —Dale Beaver
Jesus makes possible our new birth and nature's rebirth.
Good mornin', Bahbah...mornin' everyone! I'm running just a little late this morning. *yawn* And I'm now running late for getting ready for work!
I am thoroughly steamed at the Congresspets not supporting our awesome, brave troops!
