Good thoughts Annie - we need all we can get right now.  Your post reminded me of something one of my aunts sent me today that I thought was nice.  I thought those who have friends and loved ones in the military might be interested in reading this...
================================================
Subject: FW:      9 PM Prayer Plea (8 PM Central Time)
================================================
Everything I know or can sense as a former military officer tells me  we are going to war very soon. Those of us back home in America can't do much, but there is one thing we can do. And I think this is a great idea.

In W.W.II, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and for peace.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.

If you would like to participate, every evening at 9:00pm Eastern Time, stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, its citizens, its men and women in the military, and for peace in the world.

Thank You, and God Bless America.

Annie, that was so nicely expressed.  I can't think of a thing to add.

Thanks, Castlebee, for that information. I know a lot of people who will participate in this wonderful prayer time. Me included. God bless America.

What a lovely prayer, Annie.  Let's hope that the war will come to an end soon and that peace will at last reign.  May God bless and keep this troubled world of ours!  [angl]
