| Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

I hate trying to work a formatting problem before I've had my coffee.
Am I first in?
It's been a while since I had that distinction!
Good morning to all. Now it's off to work for me. Don't you wish you had my job? < BG >
It figures Aeronaut would post while I was composing my blurb < VBG >.
Nonetheless, good morning to all and have a good day!
Darn, you were close but Aeronaut beat you. Probably because he flew in. ;-)
We're off to work soon, too. You're not alone. LOL.
I'll take your paycheck. You can keep your job. ;^)
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Uh, yeah, that sounds pretty cool! I get to sweat my hair off, and you get the cheque! Where do I send it? < LMBO >
Good morning, E.G.C.!!
HUGS
Morning Snippy, No Problem Luckily I had my coffee already. :-)
((HUGS))Good morning, Bentfeather. How's it going?
The psalmist knew this to be true from Israel's experience. Under the leadership of Moses they had been miraculously delivered from slavery in Egypt and had fervently praised the Lord (Exodus 12-15). But almost immediately they began to doubt God's goodness and trustworthiness. They complained bitterly and found fault with the Lord and His servant Moses. They ignored His instructions, and their worship became hollow. This angered God and resulted in their wandering for 40 years in a desert they could have crossed in a short time. Most were not allowed to enter the Promised Land. Lord, fill us with wonder and gratitude for Your marvelous salvation. Help us to give You the praise You deserve, and enable us to be faithful in our love and obedience to You. -Herb Vander Lugt
Who can tell how much we owe Him? Gladly let us render to Him All we are and have. -Kelly Our worship is right only when we are right with God.
What Is Worship? Do I Have The Right Kind Of Faith? |
Good morning sweetie.
Good morning Samwise. We're off to work now. I'd give you my paycheck but it's a big fat ZERO. ;-)
Quick, fast and in a hurry

Going well thank you. Cooled down a lot from the thunderstorm last night. Snow in the wind. UGH
Can't believe it's been going on 14 yrs since the conflict.
Still think of the local servicemen who were killed by Scud missiles.
Here is a pic of the memorial here in town at the court house.

Millions of Christians gather each Sunday to worship God as their Creator and Redeemer. Whether formal and liturgical or casual and spontaneous, church services are occasions to declare God's worthiness and to give Him praise. But centuries of church history reveal how quickly worship can degenerate into empty ritualism. This occurs whenever God's people harden their hearts and fail to obey His Word.
