Please join us in prayer…

Father, we could never thank our military men and women enough for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people.  Admitting our selfish flaws, today we lift up our voices to express gratefulness and honor to these military troops both from the past and present. Show us ways in our communities, churches, and families to thank and love them better.

Keep and protect these heroes and their families; keep our servicemen and women physically safe and in good health;  guard them from evil, be a Shield around them, and reflect grace upon them as the apple of Your eye.

Father, we are aware moms and dads, wives, husbands and their children are worried as their loved ones are re-deploying into a zone of terror and disease as a consequence of their commitment to duty. God of all comfort, please comfort their hearts, our hearts. Wrap Your infinite love around us like a warm quilt, and reinforce us to know that all can come to Your throne of grace any time, day or night, to pray for our soldier, Your soldier.

Father, please send Your angels around every one of our servicemen and women, and protect them with Your guiding hand upon them; Your strength within them; Your shield afore them; and Your love around them.

In Christ’s name, Amen

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Six U.S. military planes arrived in the Ebola hot zone Thursday with more Marines, as West Africa’s leaders pleaded for the world’s help in dealing with a crisis that one called “a tragedy unforeseen in modern times.” (more…)

CANADA – A Canadian hunter stepped out looking to bag a moose and returned with 20 wriggling puppies instead.
The astonishing discovery in a field near Glaslyn, Saskatchewan on Friday follows the orphaned dogs — of various ages — apparently being left for dead.
Greg Zubiak was on his annual hunt when he said some movement up ahead led him to find the adorable pooches.
“As I walked up, they all just kind of looked at me and I guess my moose hunt was over,” he told CBC News. “I just said, ‘OK, come on,’ and as soon as I said that, they all come running to me.” (read more)

(Via Clash Daily) Apollos Hester plays for the East View High School Patriots in Georgetown, Texas. Down 28 – 14 at halftime against their opponent, Vandergrift, on Friday, the Patriots mounted a comeback and won 42-41. After the game, Hester was interviewed by Lauren Mickler of Time Warner Cable Sports. She asked, “What were you guys able to do to come back and win this thing?”
From there, Hester’s infectious motivational speaking took over in a way that makes him appear to be more wise beyond his years. This young man will go far in life.

To anyone out there who may have written California off as a lost cause,  behold this group of young Marines in their monthly Faith Warrior service at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.   It’s been shared nearly 400,000 times since it first debuted on Merrie Pardee Baldwin’s Facebook last September 15th.  Baldwin wrote, “Participatory worship.  I love how excited the men get to sing this song and the camaraderie.”

DAYS OF ELIJAH

(Some of the lyrics include:)

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored

These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

CAIRO — Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi is feeling vindicated by the world’s alarm over Islamic extremism that is fueling wars and bloodshed across the Middle East.
The former army general has faced widespread international criticism for his ouster last year of Egypt’s first freely elected president and his ferocious crackdown on Islamists that has killed more than 1,000 and imprisoned more than 20,000. A year later, after el-Sissi’s election as president, his critics fear he is leading his country into autocracy, with pro-democracy dissenters jailed or silenced.
But in an interview with The Associated Press — his first with the foreign media since he took office in June — el-Sissi insists all his actions were to combat militancy and save the country from civil war. He said Egypt is a model for fighting terrorism and that the U.S.-led coalition to fight the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria should take note.
“More than a year ago, I warned that the region was heading to great danger from extremist thought,” he said. “It didn’t receive proper attention until the events in Iraq took place and the Islamic State swept over the Iraqi-Syrian borders.” (more…)

(HatTip MoonBattery) Oskar Freysinger, a member of the Swiss Parliament gave a passionate speech filled with truth that no politician in Washington, DC has yet to give from the floor of Congress. He calls out Islam for what it is: A dogma that is gnawing away at the pillars of our system of laws, wherever it is granted the space to do so. Video courtesy of Walid Shoebat

Team Obama can be heard gnashing their horrible teeth….

According to the poll, 75 percent of the youth, ranging from 18 to 29 years old approve of El-Sisi, while 90 percent of the elderly, aged 50 and higher, approve of him. (read more)
President El-Sisi will be speaking to the U.N on September 25th, his first visit to the United States since his inauguration.    Watch the snub from the White House; also watch the alternate media for reports of the State Department refusing “Visa’s” for his security staff.   After simultaneously fighting the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Nusra, and the Libyan Fighting Groups – President Fatah El-Sisi is the most hated man in the Islamic world….
