September 11 10 years and what have we learned?

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 resulted in 2996 deaths. The wars on Terrorism have resulted  5491 US Troops killed.

September 11th is today. I lost two Army buddies at the Pentagon on September 11,2001.
William R. Ruth, 57, Maryland, Chief Warrant Officer 4th Class, U.S. Army.
Sgt. First Class Jose Calderon, 44, Puerto Rico, U.S. Army.

May they never be forgotten.

One Nation Under God, with Liberty and Justice for all.
Where are all the flags at now? The Yellow Ribbons? Dust to dust ashes to ashes.  Our Troops fight on, some on their 10th or 11th Combat tour over there. I remember as a child when my Uncle came home from Vietnam after 3 combat tours and how much he had changed. How will "Our Boys" be after 10 -11 years of fighting? When do they come home for good? Hussain is dead, Bin Laden is dead. We will not win these peoples hearts and minds, we are infidels and all they know is war. When do we say enough is enough and end these wars? Our great nation is still a young nation but crakes are showing everywhere. Unemployed, Homeless, Earthquakes,fires, Hurricanes, and now floods. God does not seem to be happy with us at the moment......

Finaly feel able to post again!

Surgery on May 17th knocked the stuffing out of me. Doc found I broke some bones in my back that the CAT Scan did not show and now understands what I endured to just keep working. He thought I was wanting not to work. Know he knows what I went through to try to keep my job.Left leg is mostly numb and my right foot is all numb hich is new scince the surgery. Have to use a cane and driving is out. At least the good Lord has allowed me to keep on walking! Mary has to drive me every where but that is ok.

What The Bible says about Worship

Romans 12:1 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

John 4:23 NIV
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

Faith

Faith is everything for with out faith all becomes lost. Hope with out faith is hopelessness.
The dreamer can not dream great things and make the dreams become realality. Faith is the foundation.
Faith allows us to become better than we once where. More whole. Faith is what makes us go forward.

Upcoming Surgery...

This is the surgery I feared having done the most as it is the most invasive. Everyday the pain changes and spawns in to other parts of my legs and waist. Like electric tendrails. I have my Social Security Interview on the 16th. Supposed to take 2 hours....
