Memorial Day tribute to fallen soldiers

It is easy to have a picnic and say we remember the sacrifices that have been made to give us freedom and our Democracy. It is harder to admit that we have lost our Liberty and our Republic. What can we do to regain our Sacred Honor and have the standing to address our fallen with respect?

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, how we have failed the fallen.

We gain respect by humbling ourselves to the Truth, admitting our sin, asking for forgiveness, and repent on indvidual levels.

Only then can we pick up our spears and continue buiding the wall.

Nehemiah’s Prayer

“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.

“Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’

10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 

11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”

We know what we need to do, the longer we wait the more assaults we will suffer until we are dead or dying.

Tom, I think we so close that a sneeze might bring all eventualities upon us. I have gotten calls for repentance, prayer and fasting form multiple unrelated sources. They are all saying the same thing. Begin June 1st at midnight, and some continue it until June 4th at sundown. The repentance, prayer and fasting are for the US, it’s us, it is our calamity that is close at hand. At church it was the same message. The time is NOW. I have not had time to check it out, but an Executive Order for the Emergency Marshall Law of 2022 for the US has an abstract which holds the dates and game plans to round up all the terrorists. We are the list, Tom, we are the list. If this is correct you won’t even have time to taste the first fruits of your garden. This is the week to make yourself ready and pray one more time for those you hold dear.

Everyday I pray the military will put a fence around DC with the barbwire facing in with shoot to kill orders. But I think we will be getting the barbwire and shot and killed.

I can’t help but weep for these families, and my own who have died or suffered life-long injury. It also gives me pause because I know that planes are coming everyday with the caskets and remains of our heroes fallen in the Ukraine debacle. God bless these men, women and families by bringing all of these fallen heroes to heaven. Dear God forgive us, forgive us in your mercy.

To my brothers and sisters that have given their last, I’ll pop goofy grape when I hit your AO, rest easy troops.
We that are still standing, must remember the sacrifice these men and women have given, and stand to halt the buffoonery in the District of Criminals.
