VETERANS DAY

Snippet
Caring for veterans shouldn't be a partisan issue. It should an 
American one.  Jennifer Granhom
Scripture
Teach me how to live, O Lord.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me.

Do not let me fall into their hands.
For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;
with every breath they threaten me with violence.

Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness
while I am here in the land of the living.

Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 27:11-14 NLT

Song
Someone Sleeps BY REZ BAND
Yellow moon rise, and the shadows are so long,
Comes as no surprise; I hear another night song,
And the echoes in those hills: a random rhythm the silence fills.
And someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight.
Someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight.
Ragged children left to play, fear, then hear the sound,
Run, run, oh, run away, stumbling feet on dusty clay,
In the rockets glaring red a weeping mother hangs her head,
‘Cause someone sleeps tonight, forever.
And someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight.
Someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight. 
And in the flames inferno, consuming human flesh and soul,
Innocence becomes a stranger, despair-a burning coal,
An old man’s eyes are vacant, his calloused hand’s open still,
Children wander in the ruined streets where grief roams, never filled,
Sometimes at night they hear the wind of a past they cannot change, In 
the morning silence, tell me, what goodness will remain?
The bitter cup is filled once more; a bloody history paints this land,
They try to seal a tomb that’s empty while they build the cross again.
And someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight.
Someone deals in pain,
Someone deals in power,
And someone sleeps tonight.
Forever, Forever,
Forever, Forever,
Forever. 
Sentence Prayer
What a mystery your will is, Lord!  I pray, I make my plans and 
executes my choices. . .and yet because You are my sovereign 
Lord, You determine the outcome.  What a great and wonderful 
source of confidence!  You determine my steps! You have my 
back, Lord!
Thank you for working even my mistakes into a profitable 
outcome.  Praise You for Your excellent wisdom!  Amen (One-

Minute Prayers for Men Harvest House Pub 2004 pg 198.)
