Saturday was Armed Forces Day so I decided to share a picture of a house roof that we drive by on our school bus route. As you can see the shingles have been painted as a USA Flag. It has been that way for about a year now and still looks so bright. I have always admired this wonderful piece of art. It is also very fitting for our city since there are many Bronze sculptures of the United States Presidents on street corners of our down town area. Maybe one day I may post a few pictures of some of my favorites. They are done in life size sculptures so it's fun to walk the downtown area to see and read about each President.Sunday was Armed Forces Sunday so our church service included many prayers for our Military and our Country. We sang patriotic Hymns.After the benediction and during the announcements, our Pastor ask everyone who was or had ever been in the military to please stand up. I was surprised at how many from our 8 AM early service stood up. Over 20. I have no idea how many stood up in the Sat evening or the 10:45 AM service. What a blessing it is to have brave men and women fight to keep our country free. We pray for the safety and God's strength for not only the soldiers but also the Chaplains.
