Saying Goodbye For Awhile

Jack leaving for Iraq

This is my Son-in-law Jack, he leaves on June 7th for Iraq. I ask if you pass through these pages you will send prayers up for him and all the others there doing their duty for us. God Bless and keep him while his journey takes him away from home. Here is his Bird, along with his Dad and I might add his Dad is one proud man. Jack with his Mom (you know she's proud ) and then Jack, Charlie and the girls (and anyone knowing Charlie and the girls will know pride shines on their faces ). I really don't know how I came to love him so much, but my heart found room for another son and yes oh yes I am very proud of him.

Through the dark of night, do not fear
When the Sun has cast its last glow
Follow with steadfastness and resolve

Hold tight thy Faith in Spirit
Confirm thy love by deeds
Cast your troubles across the darkness

With the rays of light sprinkling the Heavens
Look out upon the Land
Feel the Hand that lifts you this day

Walk freely through the fields of life
Seeking wisdom and strength
Though your pathway be trodden

His strength will never leave you
Call upon his name
As you stumble, He will pick you up

I think this would be a Great Team to Lead our country into better times. Both are good men without all the old baggage from Washington.

It’s the quietness of my soul that my search continues onward
Being still to hear the rush of blood coursing through my heart
To hear once again the soft sweet gentle coconsciousness of my spirit
Tuning me with precise determination and spirit to carry onward


Fire burns deeply to rid the evil which prevails, lingering, crowding my soul
Raging winds carry the unwanted waste of my soul
Quiet waters flow slowly replenishing the nutrients of my soul
While I kneel before you Oh Lord asking for your guidance


It is the quietness I hear now, the willingness to listen
To open my heart and receive your message with eager spirit
To fulfill that age old longing of peace, mercy upon a Land
To know I must step up and face the unknowing moments of Life

Carli did her first Competition Saturday and won Silver. Doesn't she look like she can kick butt?
