Good morning Rally Point and Posse. Sometimes it is imperative to "be there" in person and sometimes being there on the end of a phone line, a video call, a letter in hand is sufficient. RP admin asked a question about what was hard to explain to family and friends about serving...to me, this is what is hard; why someone who served with me twenty years ago and not made much of an effort to stay connected would call me and I would give them two hours of my time because he needed it. How when I took command and accepted the responsibility, it felt as significant as my marriage vows, and the release of command didn't exempt me from the connection. I don't believe it ever will. I belong to a group of current and former AF Transporters and I eagerly look forward to our weekly e-newsletter to which many of us contribute; I know more about many of them than I do some more distant family members. And there isn't one of them I would not "be there for" if needed.

I expect you put significant effort into fulfilling your responsibilities, supporting your family, assisting friends and neighbors. I hope that you are focused on serving selflessly those who rely on you for leadership, advice, teaching and training. I expect you have helped many others and you have applied your hands, feet and mind to assist others in solving problems. Many in this current generation of leaders seem to be self-absorbed and devoid of true wisdom which is the fear of the LORD. I expect that you are spiritually mature enough to be a servant leader. 'For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” [Galatians 5:13-14 ESV], my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray for focused endurance in doing good for those in need and sufficient fruit of the Spirit patience, faithfulness, and self-control for each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer dear LORD. Lead us by YOUR grace to help others we intersect with in our daily walk. Open our eyes to those who need encouragement and comfort and guide each of us to whomever YOU know we should encourage, comfort, and/or sit quietly with them and listen to them. 'So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind. [Philippians 2:1-2 ESV]
LORD, I stand in the gap for Afghanistan and remind YOU of the prayer of Jehoshaphat [2 Chronicles 20] LORD, I pray that YOU bring confusion and terror to the Taliban, ISIL-K, Haqqani, Therik-e Taliban Pakistan, al Qaeda and the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence [ISI]. Motivate them to fight among themselves and to kill as many of the operatives in the Pakistan training centers [al Qaeda, and ashkar-e-Jhangvi, Mujahidin United Council and Maulvi Nazir Group in Waziristan:] and Afghanistan. Enable the Shia people of Afghanistan to defeat the ashkar-e-Jhangvi which has carried out deadly attacks against Shia People in Afghanistan. Blind them by greed and jealousy to destroy as many as possible. ‘And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever.” And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed. For the men of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction, and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they all helped to destroy one another. [2 Chronicles 20:20-23 ESV]
I lift the Panjshir valley in Afghanistan, the National Resistance Force (NRF) lead by military commander, Ahmad Massoud, and the Christians, agnostics, members of minority faiths in Afghanistan, as well as citizens of other nations, Afghanis who assisted the allies [along with their family] who are in hiding or imprisoned by the Taliban thugs and their cohorts [ISIL and al-Qaeda] to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU shine light to those in hiding and guide them step by step to freedom and salvation for many of them. I pray that YOU blind the thugs including the despicable Pakistani intelligence thugs so they see darkness and have no visibility of YOUR light. Enable each to sleep, rest and nourish themselves in peace amidst their enemies. ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [Psalm 23:1-5 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD
a. 'What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.' [James 2:14-17 ESV]
b. Romans 8:26-28 ESV 'Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.'
I lift the debts of disabled veterans and their family members and loved ones to YOU LORD. YOU delivered each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters from sin debt and the punishment for sin through YOUR atonement on the cross. I pray that YOU bring relief to each disabled veteran and family member struggling with debt. ‘we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ [Romans 5:3b-5 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

The Four Tops ~ Live ~ Reach Out I'll Be There ~ 1967
"When you feel lost and about to give up ..."
I have spent the past 90 minutes trying to create a Medicare account. I have many years experience in resolving system issues and am chatting with a first tier help agent. I went though similar connectivity issues with system techs at USAA and SAM's claim the past two days.]
1. Thankfully God is always there for us.
2. I found a system flaw in the Medicare logon process. The person i chatted with is submitting it to Medicare systems. I have had a knack for finding system flaws - that is good and bad :-)
Good Sunday, September 12, 2021 my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown
Quotes
1. Karen Salmansohn Sometime we need someone to simply be there.. Not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.'
2. Aiden Wilson Tozer The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect.
3. Edith Wharton 'There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.'
4. Rosalynn Carter 'There are only four kinds of people in the world - those who have been caregivers, those who are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.'
5. Leonard Cohen 'To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.'
6. Rylan Derrick 'Happiness is a byproduct of helping others. No man ever finds happiness by thinking of himself. True happiness comes when we lose ourselves in the service of others - when we are merciful to our fellow man.

Motivate them to fight among themselves and to kill as many of the operatives in the Pakistan training centers [al Qaeda, and ashkar-e-Jhangvi, Mujahidin United Council and Maulvi Nazir Group in Waziristan:] and Afghanistan. Enable the Shia people of Afghanistan to defeat the ashkar-e-Jhangvi which has carried out deadly attacks against Shia People in Afghanistan. Blind them by greed and jealousy to destroy as many as possible. ‘And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever.” And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed. For the men of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction, and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they all helped to destroy one another. [2 Chronicles 20:20-23 ESV]
I lift the Panjshir valley in Afghanistan, the National Resistance Force (NRF) lead by military commander, Ahmad Massoud, and the Christians, agnostics, members of minority faiths in Afghanistan, as well as citizens of other nations, Afghanis who assisted the allies [along with their family] who are in hiding or imprisoned by the Taliban thugs and their cohorts [ISIL and al-Qaeda] to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU shine light to those in hiding and guide them step by step to freedom and salvation for many of them. I pray that YOU blind the thugs including the despicable Pakistani intelligence thugs so they see darkness and have no visibility of YOUR light. Enable each to sleep, rest and nourish themselves in peace amidst their enemies. ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [Psalm 23:1-5 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD
a. 'What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.' [James 2:14-17 ESV]
b. Romans 8:26-28 ESV 'Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.'
I lift the debts of disabled veterans and their family members and loved ones to YOU LORD. YOU delivered each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters from sin debt and the punishment for sin through YOUR atonement on the cross. I pray that YOU bring relief to each disabled veteran and family member struggling with debt. ‘we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ [Romans 5:3b-5 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Sunday night and will awoke refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.

1. Thankfully God is always there for us.
2. I found a system flaw in the Medicare logon process. The person i chatted with is submitting it to Medicare systems. I have had a knack for finding system flaws - that is good and bad :-)
Good Sunday, September 12, 2021 my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown
Quotes
1. Karen Salmansohn Sometime we need someone to simply be there.. Not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.'
2. Aiden Wilson Tozer The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect.
3. Edith Wharton 'There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.'
4. Rosalynn Carter 'There are only four kinds of people in the world - those who have been caregivers, those who are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.'
5. Leonard Cohen 'To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.'
6. Rylan Derrick 'Happiness is a byproduct of helping others. No man ever finds happiness by thinking of himself. True happiness comes when we lose ourselves in the service of others - when we are merciful to our fellow man.
I pray for focused endurance in doing good for those in need and sufficient fruit of the Spirit patience, faithfulness, and self-control for each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer dear LORD. Lead us by YOUR grace to help others we intersect with in our daily walk. Open our eyes to those who need encouragement and comfort and guide each of us to whomever YOU know we should encourage, comfort, and/or sit quietly with them and listen to them. 'So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind. [Philippians 2:1-2 ESV]
