I reached out and found You, waiting for me to call your name.
My deepest thought was, Where' oh where' have you been.
Realizing that You were always by my side I felt the pangs of guilt.
Oh, my gracious Lord, You saved a place for me in your heart. My
heart is filled with the joy of having You as my companion throughout
my day.
I pray that You will give me hope to withstand life's many hurts, and
that I will be a better person for getting through them.
Gracious Lord I love You so.
Amen

ANGELS PROTECTING US
This is a poem that my daughters mother-in-law wrote July 10, 2004
I want to share it with everyone....
THE ANGELS ABOVE
He knows the Angels that we need,
and sends them to our side;
To Comfort, Guard, and Guide.
Thank you Jesus!
Amen

USS DEWEY (DDG 105) Commissioning March 6, 2010
A little information about the USS Dewey: - USS DEWEY (DDG-105) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, and once commissioned, will be one of the most powerful warships in the world.
USS DEWEY - is the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral of the Navy George Dewey, a hero of the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American war. Admiral Dewey was born: December 26, 1837, and died in Washington, DC on January 16, 1917.
USS DEWEY MOTTO: DYNAMIS EX CARDIAS, translates to "The Will to Fight From the Heart"

March 6, 2010 a special day for the family of Joshua Andersen who is stationed on the USS DEWEY. I am so proud of my grandson Joshua. The USS DEWEY was the first U.S. Navy commissioning ceremony to ever be held in Seal Beach, or anywhere else in Orange County.
We were all worried about the weather, so everyone was advised to bring their unbrella's, which we did! Before the ceremony it clouded up and rain started coming down. All of a sudden the skies cleared and the sun came shining through the clouds. Talk about a 'happy' crowd! I got some great pictures of all of us and the ship.
I had chill bumps with each speech that was presented. David W. Sloan Mayor, and Admiral, U.S. Navy M.G. Mullen were there, alongside many dedicated military officers proudly representing the military in all they do to protect us. It was so patriotic and special, knowing that our young people are protecting our freedom and all the rights that freedom brings our great country.
My husband and I are so glad that we went and were there to welcome this ship to the fleet.
