Photos That Will Never Make the News...
Rory and many other soldiers have commented that the news always portrays the most negative of pictures. As I scour the net on a daily basis for information, it is true that there is not a lot of positive coverage, but then again, this is war. I can say that there are certainly much worse reporting agencies out there than CNN, particularly the coverage that comes from the Middle East news organizations.
That being said, this is an email that has been circling the net and was forwarded to me by Vicki and I thought it was worth reposting and sharing with all of you:
Photos That Will Never Make the News
Sometimes in our everyday lives we tend to forget what's going on elsewhere in the world and that the brave men and women of the service are just like you and I. They have family and friends back home who love them very much and are praying for their safe return.
When you read this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops (land, air, and sea) in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq, and around the world. Of all the gifts you could give the US Military, Prayer is the very best one.....
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

A Protection Prayer attributed to St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master (Universe/All there is),
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console.
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love
For it is in the giving that we receive.
It is in the pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to (return to) eternal life (Universal Consciousness).
