"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect
us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen."

Thank you, Lori, for your prayer for our troops! One of our bank's employees recently arrived back from Iraq – sooooo happy to see him again! Two gift suggestions for those wanting to buy a serviceman a gift --

A book from http://www.Christianbook.com titled "Praying for Those We Love as They Serve Our Country" regularly priced $7.99 for only $1.50. A wonderful small hardback book with prayers and scriptures of encouragement.

Dennis Jernigan's new album, "I Salute You", which pays tribute to those in the service can be purchased from his website.

God bless you,

Chelki
