Pray Hard!

Together, we are praying for America
And her sons and daughters
Half a world away
But near and dear to our hearts
And constantly on our minds

My fellow Christians
My fellow Americans
Hold them up constantly
Along with our brave allies
Before the Throne of Grace

Implore the Lord of Hosts
To move His Mighty Hand
On behalf of the forces
Of good and justice

God bless America!

Amen!!

I am so grateful for these photos each evening. I love the ones of our troops especially, going about their business so confidently, so reliably. Each of them is in our prayers every day, throughout the day, as are also the family and friends waiting for them at home. Our prayers also are with our president, the military leaders, and our allies. Thank you, Diogenesis.

In Kuwait, heroes of the British Military Queens Dragoon Guards.

Our NBC affiliate in Los Angeles had a really good half-hour show from the
theater of operations. The head of the U.K. naval task-force and a number
of their "Tommy Atkins" (= our G.I.s) gave interviews...a real solid bunch.
