Maj Marty Hogan
SGT Kevin Hughes - was fun. My mom is 80 and her mom is 76- they have known each other for just shy of 50 years. Wife graduated with my sister long after I was gone- we hooked up when I returned home after 16 years away. Odd how things work out.

SGT Kevin Hughes
Maj Marty Hogan - That is a great story. It is odd how things work out. When my first girl left (and I had been with her almost half my life at the ripe old age of 22) I thought I would never love again. Then I met my Kathy seven years later. And because the first girl was so kind and gentle, I was ready to be my Kathy's partner. I am one lucky man.

Good RED Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs As we are in the middle of the impeachment that seems largely based on gossip and hearsay this is particularly relevant now. There are lots of quotes and lots of biblical references and that's because this problem has been with us for a very long time. "You shall not go around as a gossipmonger." —Leviticus. The Lord does not like the hateful tongue and so it is better not to spread evil talk. If you haven't seen it yourself, don't say it as a fact.

I expect that you are trustworthy in word and need and that you never divulge any information that you have been charged to hold secret, unless and until you are released to reveal to specific people Charlie.
I pray that you are I are worthy of the confidence of our nation, our family and close friends in holding fast to any information or opinion shared to us, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Thank YOU, LORD for YOUR grace, mercy and justice. I am grateful that YOU abhor gossip, deception, and character assassination. YOUR Word is truth and those who are called to YOU by adoption are drawn to truth, justice and grace.
I pray for wisdom for each person who reads this prayer. Give us ears to hear dear God and enable us to without our tongue from lashing out. Empower us to listen and think before responding. Take away any inclination for childish retorts from us.
I pray for discernment for each adopted child of God especially in choosing and maintaining friends. Give us courage to confront gossipers who try to share gossip in our hearing.
I pray for repentance from each one of us who has been a gossiper. If possible dear God, I pray that YOU cut off the spread of gossip from each one who truly repents.
I pray for justice and appropriate recompense for each person who is the victim of gossip, slander and libel in this life, if possible dear God.
I lift the falsely convicted to YOU and pray that YOU will do what it takes to bring out the truth and have the convictions overturned. When the guilty are exonerated, I pray that YOU will cause each one of them to be tripped up by their own foolishness.
I pray dear LORD that YOU convict each member of the U.S. House of Representatives and their staff members who is intent on gossiping and spreading misinformation and/or outright lies
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
