The Marine's Prayer
The Marine's Prayer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(excerpt from Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines, copyright 2001 Marion F. Sturkey)
Regardless of the situation, the Marine Corps has an answer for almost everything.
Contact with The Deity is serious business. It is also an excellent idea for Warriors who are expected to put their lives on the line against an assortment of foes. For U.S. Marines of any faith who may desire guidance when contacting their Maker, the Marine Corps has a ready aid, The Marine's Prayer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails,
make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.
Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty
in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines,
my loved ones, and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family.
Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to
accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.
Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance.
Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to
the duties my Country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me.
Help me to wear my uniform with dignity,
and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith;
if I am tempted, make me strong to resist;
if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom
by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.

How the Senate Works - A Must Read
This is a MUST read…..
Do you suppose Congress really knows how absolutely disgusted we
are with their performance – a lot less that 10% in my opinion
WHAT A MESS~~WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE !!!!
Please watch at least the first 45 seconds……then you will be hooked! Isn't it about time there were some serious and basic changes made in the way our Congress works? Interesting four minute speech. No wonder this country is in such a big mess. Our law makers have no idea what they are voting on. How the Senate Really Works. Unbelievable! I don't care what your party is!
Every American should see this video.

Oklahoma update
Date: May 21, 2013
This info came from a brother who is also an amateur radio operator (ham) in Texas. He operates an emergency net on the amateur frequencies daily.
Brothers and Sisters,
I have heard from three brothers and sisters in the Oklahoma City area
in the past 15 minutes.
Unofficial preliminary information is that no brothers or sisters were
killed. However, we still don't have all the information from the
elementary school in Moore where they are still searching and don't know
if any JW children attended there.
Reportedly, four brothers lost their homes. Not sure whether that was
in Shawnee, Moore, or a combination.
One brother who lives 15 miles west of Moore said it is far different
from watching the news. This time it's real, and driving by the area is
surreal. This time it's neighbors and real people who could be you.
Another brother who lives northwest of Oklahoma City confirmed there
were four homes lost. The KH in Moore is south of the tornado's path and
is intact. One family lived in the neighborhood that was destroyed. They
barely got out in time. Some of our Vietnamese brothers survived in a
shelter. One family of four witnesses lived in the area hardest hit and
lost everything, but they were in a shelter and are safe.
I will pass on to you any further information I receive. Please let me
know if you hear any factual info.
Warm regards,
Charlie
