Thought For Today
The harder the conflict is the more glorious the tri- umph.
Scripture (Psalm 41:1)
Blessed is he that consid- ereth poor: the Lord will de- liver him in time of trouble...The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sick- ness.
F. Y. I.

President Barack Obama and family, the ac- tive and inactive military, public servants, volunteers, incarcerated, missing and homeless.
