Last post read, "I believe you may be in sorrow but you can still have the "...peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). Our Saviour, which was born on that EVENTFUL night conquered death, hell, and the grave."

should have read, I believe situations may cause you to weep but you can still have the "...peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). Our Saviour, which was born on that EVENTFUL night conquered death, hell, and the grave."

Glory To God in the Highest

“..As I sit in reflection upon the goodness of God this year I can’t help but wonder what it must have been like for the shepherds on that frightful…” night. These were the words I penned on a Christmas card this year when it occurred to me what I had said. That night was not full of fright. The announcement of the Saviour’s birth alone had brought glad tidings, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men” (Luke 2:14). During the night, those awaiting the promise of God were bidden peace. Even as the Lord made it known to the shepherds, I don’t have to wait for the morning. Before the angels were gone away, the fright came to pass.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11).

As you are watching over the things that God has given to you and things are dark all around remember that you don't have to wait for the morning to come to have peace.

"...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psalms 30:5b)

I believe situations may cause you to weep but you can still have the "...peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). Our Saviour, which was born on that EVENTFUL night conquered death, hell, and the grave.

Update on my status...late posting

I left yesterday to go back to the sand of Iraq. It has been an interesting journey so far. I was scheduled to fly out of North Bend at 0900 but the flight was delayed in North Bend for 3 hrs. My parents came to see me off at 0900ish so we went to their house and my mom made everybody a latte, which was very good. We then went back to the airport, loaded onto the plane (after rushing through security) then as we were set to taxi off the pilot shut down the plane due to weather. we had at least another hour before take off so I was gonna go spend it with Roxann anDrew but couldn't leave security so Roxann and I had to see each other through a glass wall. I thought to myself what it must be like to be in prison. Andrew was getting tired so she took him home. Roxann came back while I was downstairs playing on my iPhone and I didn't see her until a lady pointed her out to me. After loading onto the plane I was moved to the back bench seat and had it all to myself, it was great because I could stretch my legs out. I saw Roxann watching me leave. I waved and opend'n'cloased the window shade but could not get her attention.

gotta go...write more later

So here I am back in Iraq...I got back on the morning of the 13th and slept for quite awhile. Today was my first day back on the job. I did was at the clinic from 10 - 3 and gave a lot of H1N1 shots today. It felt good to get back into the swing of things but I sure do miss being home.
