Morning Reading: Titus 2.1-8 NLT

As for you… promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.

These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.

Veterans Day

Today is one of those days I feel very uncomfortable. I am a Marine Veteran. Deep in my Heart I have a longing to be with every Marine that is now standing in Harms Way. Why? They are my brothers. I ask you now to pray for every veteran and every person that is now serving our country. Please thank Our Abba Father for their willingness to lay down their Lives for our Freedom.

Please look at this and let our Lord guide your prayers, Thank-you.

Please Remember Their Sacrifice!

AMEN!
