Asking Divine Protection for Those In Service

O God, I beseech You, watch over those exposed to the horror of war,
and the spiritual dangers of a soldier’s or sailor’s life.

Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it,
nor fear ever to practice it.
By Your grace, O God,
fortify them against the contagion of bad example,
that being preserved from vice,
and serving You faithfully,
they may be ready to meet you face to face when they are so called:
through Christ our Lord.
Amen

Good afternoon, retired curmudgeon...((HUGS))...buried at work. Today the sun finally came out, and brought mostly blue sky with it. Had the bike out yet? Cruzin’ the back roads?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Eyeball deep....long night ahead. And “they” have started one of those “keep track of your time” thingys. Like I have time to stop and figure out what I’ve been doing. *sigh*

Hi Kathy ~ it’s been cool here and I’ve been doing yard stuff. I hooked the Bronco onto a couple of large (10’ X 8’) thorny bushes in front yard, stuck it in low range four wheel drive and ripped those babies right out of the ground. >:-}

I dusted the Suzuki off yesterday...

Prayers continue for SGT Dusty. Glad his injuries were relatively minimal. Prayers for his buds as well. Thanks for the report. Go get ‘em, SGT!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Days late, AR, but what can I say....work is interferring big time.

I got my info about Last Post from DieHard the Hunter, a Kiwi, and Clive, a Canadian, confirmed Last Post, and added Flowers of The Forest as appropriate. I really appreciated their help.

Last Post is played as we would play Taps

Flower of The Forest in place of Amazing Grace

Hope this helps a little. And maybe they can help you with any further questions.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Days late, but too funny the story of the squirrel. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Alaskan Fishing....too funny!!

Comrade Bork and I lived on Whidbey Island when he was in the Navy. It is incredibly gorgeous! I personally don't think any other area of this country can compare to Puget Sound in beauty.

We were expecting to finish out his tour at Whidbey and then move down to Seattle when his enlistment was up. But he was transferred to NJ to do recruiting duty. That was almost 22 years ago -- and here we still are! Sigh!
