Guardians Angels on Duty

Psalm 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;


Had the closest call yet two days ago. Orto and I had just dropped a friend off at 1st Cav HQ. As we made a turn on to the main road, our perimeter defense weapon fired and blew a 107mm rocket out of the sky over our heads. Had we lingered any longer with our friend and if the rocket weren't intercepted we would have been on the receiving end of that rocket. Unfortunately more rockets came a couple hours later and 1 Soldier was killed and another 10 people wounded. So much for thinking, "big base, little me".

The news from America hasn't been positive lately with many people going missing & murdered, flooding, heat waves, fires, brutality to children, tainted toothpaste, 2 teenage kids kidnap the neighbor's 1 yr old and hold the baby for $200,000 ransom, and the political mud slinging well in advance of the next elections. What are we doing to each other? As we can see, only horrific and violent tragedy makes headline news.
