Emergency Communications Services

When a military family experiences a crisis, the American Red Cross is there to help. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, the Red Cross relays urgent messages containing accurate, factual, complete and verified descriptions of the emergency to service members stationed anywhere in the world, including on ships at sea and at embassies and remote locations.
Red Cross emergency communications services keep military personnel in touch with their families following the death or serious illness of an immediate family member, the birth of a service member's child or grandchild or when a family faces other emergencies.
Where ever their military service takes them, he or she knows that the Red Cross will deliver notification in times of an emergency at home. Even if the service member receives an e-mail or phone call from home, Red Cross-verified information assists commanding officers with making a decision regarding emergency leave. Without this verification, the service member may not be able to come home during a family crisis.

The PRESBYTERIAN Brief Statement of Faith

The PRESBYTERIAN Brief Statement of Faith

In life and in death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve.

We trust in Jesus Christ,
Fully human, fully God.
Jesus proclaimed the reign of God:
preaching good news to the poor
and release to the captives,
teaching by word and deed
and blessing the children,
healing the sick
and binding up the brokenhearted,
eating with outcasts,
forgiving sinners,
and calling all to repent and believe the gospel.
Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition,
Jesus was crucified,
suffering the depths of human pain
and giving his life for the sins of the world.
God raised Jesus from the dead,
vindicating his sinless life,
breaking the power of sin and evil,
delivering us from death to life eternal.

We trust in God,
whom Jesus called Abba, Father.
In sovereign love God created the world good
and makes everyone equally in God's image
male and female, of every race and people,
to live as one community.
But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.
Ignoring God's commandments,
we violate the image of God in others and ourselves,
accept lies as truth,
exploit neighbor and nature,
and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care.
We deserve God's condemnation.
Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation.
In everlasting love,
the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a covenant people
to bless all families of the earth.
Hearing their cry,
God delivered the children of Israel
from the house of bondage.
Loving us still,
God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant.
Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child,
like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home,
God is faithful still.

We trust in God the Holy Spirit,
everywhere the giver and renewer of life.
The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith,
sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor,
and binds us together with all believers
in the one body of Christ, the Church.
The same Spirit
who inspired the prophets and apostles
rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture,
engages us through the Word proclaimed,
claims us in the waters of baptism,
feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation,
and calls women and men to all ministries of the church.
In a broken and fearful world
the Spirit gives us courage
to pray without ceasing,
to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior,
to unmask idolatries in Church and culture,
to hear the voices of peoples long silenced,
and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.
In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit,
we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks
and to live holy and joyful lives,
even as we watch for God's new heaven and new earth,
praying, "Come, Lord Jesus!"

With believers in every time and place,
we rejoice that nothing in life or in death
can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Amen

it is a video of our Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retriever in the snow here in Union County Ohio!

18+ inches of snow and BLOWING and DRIFTING along our 1500 ft. lane

go to LYCWOLF on Youtube and see our snow from this morning Friday 2/5 plus son Ethan has uploads of stuff he does....
I think we have over 6 inches now, 3pm, and still coming. The 5 foot snow blower is on the tractor so will get the lane (hopefully) cleared out when Brent gets home shortly... our lane is 1500+ feet long!...using the smaller blower up nearer the house.

LOOKING for relatives of

ISAAC and Ida Mae APPLE who moved from Piqua, Ohio area to California early to mid 1900's...........

My grandfather was Chalmers S. Apple who remained in Piqua,O - 1 of about 11+ children of the above mentioned persons.
My father was James R. Apple who settled in Delaware, Ohio following WWII.

THANKS!

Anyone out there have the new PORSCHE PANAMERA???

THAT is the car I REALLY WANT LOL!!!

time to get a new lease car....

Currently have a 2009 Honda Accord EXL that I like very much.

Was looking at a CR-V, but saw that I am eligible to lease a NEW Honda CROSSTOUR -- a crossover SUV....

We have 4 large dogs....so, I want something a little more suitable in hauling the pups around in than the Accord sedan that we have now.

Can't decide....

The Crosstour is about $8,000 more for a similar configuration __ 4WD EXL...

PLUS, cannot decide on a COLOR :(

Any suggestions? or comments on either vehicle?

We have a 2nd vehicle that is a Honda Pilot 4WD - as we need it to pull trailers with from time to time PLUS <> it will seat up to 8 passengers if needed.

Hello
Here it is 2010 and I am trying to get caught up with regenerating a blog from 2008.

Not enough time to get it going before like I had hoped.

With all the stuff going on in our country today, I think this would be a great time for me to get this thing going...
I would also like to begin sharing photos that I have taken over the years as some from other members of my family.
I used a gift cert. from my daughter to apply towards an iPod Nono 16GB 5th generation. I was impressed with the 8gb's that my two sons have...well, I HAD to 1-up the two of them so went with the 16gb. Yea mom :) Love the video feature and the extra room is great as I like a lot of Classic Rock, Classical and New Age music.
Plus, I am not getting any younger, so, better get some things put together here while I still have some active brain cells.
So. A belated HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 to everyone !
