Brave hearts do not back down.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

We are grateful for the ultimate price of freedom paid by those fallen. We pray for strength and courage for the POWS and Missing In Action and those held hostage.

We pray for the protection and safety of selfless relief workers and missionaries who help those in need.

We pray for the protection of children and innocent civilians.

We pray for our nation and our leaders.

W floats like a butterfly...

I know you've all seen this by now, but it's too good not to comment. Nothing about this video should surprise you. I'm just thankful it wasn't a flaming dagger, an anthrax filled balloon, or gourd of frankincense and myrrh. One thing about the video does surprise me though...he threw official shoes and not sandals. When did this desert footwear transition happen? Where have I been? I need to really brush up on middle eastern fashion...I've really let myself go.
