Bold Print is Recently Deceased

Text Box: We received a snow storm in Nebraska last week with an accumulation of 19 inches.  We are thankful for the moisture which is greatly needed.  And then yesterday the rain came!  Everything is beginning to turn green.  A fresh rain is just like reading God's word, it is new news to our spirit and encourages us.
I was talking to my friend today, a military chaplain that returned from Iraq two weeks ago.  He shared about so many military men and women giving their hearts to Jesus in Iraq.  He was there to encourage and share God's word with those going into battle.  Commanders would ask him to go with them and pray for them before each mission.  He used Psalm 27 many times when  praying for men and women in so many different circumstances.  “The Lord is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid?"  The word encouraged and comforted them.  
Like a boat needs to be anchored, we need to be anchored in the Lord..  Is the lord the light of your life?  Have you made him the Lord and Saviour of your life?  Ask Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord and Saviour of your life today.  Let him be the light to shine in your life.
I would like to ask for your prayers for a shipmate’s wife.  Buddy Wilson was on the ship from 1952 to 1955.  His wife, Blanche, needs a physical healing in her body.  I told Buddy we would be praying for her recovery.
God bless you.
