Standing Prayer Request:

While most Prayer Requests will remain on the page for 30 days, here is a request that will remain as long as we have uniformed men and women stationed abroad. Please repeat this short prayer often and ask you friends and family to include it in their daily prayers:
 
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.

What can the Chaplain do for me?

My primary job as Chaplain of the V. L. O. A. is to conduct the Sunday morning worship service at our reunions. In addition, should you have the need to talk with someone who has "been there, done that," I am available to listen.

I have been asked to initiate prayer requests using email from time to time. I thought it might be more effective to post prayer requests here on our web site. So if you know of a family or one of our own in need of our spiritual support, send a simple email request describing the need and the person or family in need, to me at the address below.

If you want to talk, call: 352-341-1390

What, me worry?

      I must admit that I am more concerned for our country than I have ever been.  I will not go into the details concerning the reasons for my concern.  I think that is obvious to anyone who listens to the news or reads the newspapers.

     I have worried about the future of this country many times before, as I'm sure many of you have.  I am just smart enough to know that all the worry in the world will not solve even one of our problems.

     So, what is a soul to do?  I don't know what your plans are; however, I plan to seek peace in the Lord.  I plan to put some serious prayer effort into those areas that have me worried.  And above all, I have turned it over to God.

     I will find peace and comfort in the words of the Psalmist:  "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American G.I.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
