He's coming at me with all his might, But I know deep in my heart, I can withstand the fight. Rekindle the fire that's growing dim, Help me Lord, make me new again. Stir up the fire that's in me, don't let it go out, So I can reach out for others to see, what it's all about. Help us all pray for one another. Help us show love to our brother, The brothers and sisters on the street. Let the rich humble themselves at your feet. Rekindle the fire within us all, So we can reach out and not fall. Thank you Lord Jesus once again, For rekindling the fire within me again.

I hope it made an impression on them to know there is Someone they can call on in times of trouble. (Of course, I tried to share that they should keep that relationship going all the time, not just for times of crisis!) We never know how much we are protected FROM. I will be praying for the military service personnel and Pat Lowe and her husband. Thank you for this wonderful service you provide to encourage others to write and share experiences. Your cyber-friend, Nancee **** Hi Cheryl! Just a few comments on your story: one is :) then there is: well done. And: I especially wish to congratulate you for: "You can't help but give clean little boys a big hug and breath deeply" and "The hood had been lifted up high by the wind and tossed fifty feet cutting a path through the tops of trees like a giant saw blade...." Good writing, grilfriend! Give more hugs. God bless. Alison :) * Dear Cheryl, Your story just shows the many ways God takes care of us. Isn't it wonderful that He loves us so much? I know He saved Willie and me from great danger when we had the fire Jan, 7th. The results would have been tragic if the fire had taken place when we were sleeping. Also, our cat would have been out in the burning room. I've thanked The Lord for keeping us safe sooo many times since this happened. We are having a hard time adjusting to Motel living, but we are managing. It would help if Willie didn't snore, but I'll survive. I can hardly wait until I am back in my nice quiet room so I can get more sleep. It's amazing to find out how many friends we have in this small town, so many persons wishing us well. It's wonderful to know all of my Cyber-friends are so caring, as well as our family. We are truly blessed My computer is being cleaned, and I probably won't be using it until the smoke damage at our home has been cleaned, which will include even some painting of walls and ceilings, and we are back to normal. Meantime I'm having a hard time here using my daughter's computer. It's so much different than mine. Well, unfortunately it started to snow a few hours ago. I didn't wear my boots over here to my daughter's house. Snow is sn-NO-w fun! I'll try remember everybody on your prayer list. God bless you, Pat *** Cheryl...I enjoyed reading about your witness of God's awesome power...I was sorry to hear about the fire at Pat's house..It was good that there were no injuries.

He can hardly wait to graduate from boot camp next month. He wrote and said to be sure and come in a big enough vehicle to take him home so he doesn't have to fly. New subscribers, you can find the story "The Fledgling" about Tim leaving for boot camp in the archives. I can't wait to get him home and feed him! He's lost nearly twenty pounds.
