Remember the Stranger-Osama bin Ladens Children

 Public radio reported live from bin Ladens home that the night of his assassination the neighbors said they could hear the screams of children fron inside bin Ladens home. The neighbors then said their were loud explosions and the screams stopped.

Dear Lord, grant the eighteen children grace at the moment of their awful overtaking. Thank you Lord.

"...pray, pray to the merciful Master for help... in their...agonizing moments, since for God time is infinitely malleable, and he will have heard what the poet (and the reader) asks even now, a month or a century on:

the prayer thou hearst me making
Have, at the awful overtaking,
Heard; have heard and granted
Grace that day grace was wanted...

It is all one can do. As for those precious souls...only the Father can help there." Gerard Manley Hopkins (Jesuit priest, poet): A Life," Paul Mariani

God forgive President Obama
God forgive America

No Legitimacy-the Wrongdoers, the Vile, the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind

  Mountaintop Sea Ministries, International is withdrawing all complaints we have made with the Governor of Washington, the Washington State Patrol, the Governor of California, the California Highway Patrol, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
  I will not give the "deaf, dumb, and blind" (quote from Holy Qur'an, see April 02, 2011 post, all-ablog-drug-corruption.blogspot.com), legitimacy; or in the words of the Holy Bible: "Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy." Revelation 22:11.
  I will continue to lead a holy life and my ministry will continue to do right by remembering the stranger(Matthew 25)-assassinated assistant U. S. Attorney Thomas Wales, assassinated Washington State Patrol Trooper Kristopher Sperry, assassinated Washington State Patrol Trooper Gary Miller, and assassinated Washington State Patrol communications manager Anne Milller-Hewitt.

Remember the Stranger-In the Arms of Jesus

  Every morning before I get up Ninja and I play a game-I try to hold her in my arms upside down. As part of our game she growls and bites but eventually she will let me hold her and I rock her in my arms like a baby and tell her she was named shepherd after baby Jesus.
  Jesus willingly gave his life to save us and like Jesus a shepherd would willingly give its life to save us.
  This is what Kane did when he was trying to apprehend a violent criminal and was brutally murdered with a knife.
  As a christian I have no doubt Kane is now being held in the arms of Jesus and being gently rocked and Jesus is telling Kane you were named shepherd after me.

  Dear Lord, grant Kane grace at the moment of his awful overtaking and comfort his master and all of Kanes friends. We thank you for all of Kanes years of faithful service as a shepherd keeping us safe. Thank you Lord.

  "...pray, pray to the  merciful Master for help... in... (Kanes) final agonizing moments, since for God time is infinitely malleable, and he will have heard what the poet (and the reader) asks even now, a month or a century on:

  the prayer thou hearst me making
  Have, at the awful overtaking,
  Heard; have heard and granted
  Grace that day grace was wanted...

  It is all one can do. As for... precious... (Kane)...only God can be in at the end, only the Father can help there." Gerard Manley Hopkins-Jesuit priest and poet: A Life," Paul Mariani

  Authors note: Kane was a pure black german shepherd who looked identical to my pure black german shepherd Ninja. Everyday I pray for the Lord to protect Ninja.

Remember the Stranger-20,000,000 or more fallen Russian soldiers

This past Christmas season, while fund raising at Walmart, a young Russian man contributed on several  occasions and inquired about my ministry.
  He told me how in Russia they built memorials to the millions of Russian soldiers who lost their lives in WW ll.
  Sadly he said the multistory memorials were now in disrepair since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
  He said he knows of no one who is commemorating fallen soldiers except my ministry and it is very important to remember fallen soldiers because they have souls and are still alive.
  I was very moved because he understood what my ministry tries to do-commemorating fallen soldiers, better than anyone I have ever met and for most of my life the Russian people were supposed to have been our enemy and Godless.

Dear Lord grant the 20,000,000 or more Russian soldiers who lost their lives in WW ll grace at the moment of their "awful overtaking." Thank you, Lord.

God Forgive America!

We will now be helping innocent victims of the drone attacks inside Pakistan.

Remember the Stranger-Brave, Gallant, Seamen

"On our way back we came across some spars...These spars told tales of the loss of some gallant ships and men, probably off Cape Horn, drifted here before the nor'west gales. Sir Ernest picked up a pathetic little toy-a child's ship, one foot long. It may have told of tragedy, but at the least it was the minor tragedy of some child's lost treasure....
Just east of us was a marvellous pile of driftwood, covering half an acre, and piled from four to eight feet high in places. This was a graveyard of ships-woeful flotsam and jetsam-sport of the sea: lower masts, topmasts, a great mainyard, ships' timbers, bones of brave ships, and bones of brave men. Most of it had drifted a thousand miles from Cape Horn, some of it two thousand miles or more.
Swept before the westerly gales on to this wild South Georgian coast, the easterly current, by some strange freak of eddies, threw it up in this one spot-a sad tale of wasted human endeavour, of gallant seamen beaten by the remorseless sea. Piled in utter confusion lay beautifully carved figureheads, well-turned teak stanchions with brass caps, handrails clothed in canvas "coachwhipping" finished off with "Turks' heads"-the proud work of some natty, clever AB; cabin doors, broken skylights, teak scuttles, binnacle stands, boats' skids, gratings, headboards, barricoes, oars, and "harness casks." There the mighty roaring Southern Ocean, tiring of its sport, had cast them up contemptuously to rot, in grievous memory of proud, tall ships with lofty spars, of swift clippers, barques, barquentines, possibly even an old East Indiaman. Wreckage from schooners, sealers, whalers, poachers, pirates, and maybe even bits of a man-o'war, lay around, for some of it may even have drifted there when Drake first battled round the Horn. "Some day, Skipper," said "Shacks," "you and I will come and dig here for old treasure, or perhaps sleep quietly with the other old seamen."" "Shackleton's Boat Journey," F. A. Worsley, Captain of H M S Endurance, The Shackleton Expedition, 1914-1916.

Dear Lord grant the brave, gallant, old seamen grace at the moment of their "awful overtaking." in the great Southern Ocean and in their battle to round Cape Horn. Thank you Lord.

Remember the Stranger-Merchant Mariner

When I was a boy I remember watching the tv series "Victory at Sea." I doubt if any young boys today have ever heard of this series about the brave and courageous captains and seaman who during World War Two manned the freighters transporting vital goods and supplies to Europe and Africa. Sadly many of the "Liberty Ships" as they were aptly named were torpedoed and sunk by German submarines. Many members of the U.S. Merchant Marine went down with their ships.
I'm sure many older adults remember the series "Victory at Sea" but I doubt if many remember the U.S. Merchant Marine ships during World War Two that were lost within sight of land off the east coast of the United States and off the coasts of the gulf states delivering precious cargoes necessary for our wartime factories and even goods and supplies for the civilian population. Many brave and courageous captains and seaman went down with their ships which were also sunk by German submarines.

Dear Lord-Remember our brave and courageous captains and seaman who were members of the U.S. Merchant Marine and went down with their ships in World War Two. We also remember the brave and courageous members of the U.S. Merchant Marine who have lost their ongoing battle with the sea during peacetime serving their country and have gone down with their ships. Grant them grace at the moment of their awful overtaking. Thank you Lord.

Remember the Stranger-U. S. Navy Seamen

Most people remember the tremendous loss of life of the marines and army to capture Guadalcanal from the Japanese but do they know of the tremendous loss of life and ships of the U. S. Navy to free Guadalcanal?
Hundreds of seamen went down with their ships in eight sea battles with the Japanese Navy for control of Guadalcanal.
The battle at Suva Bay was described by historian Morison as "probably the worst defeat ever inflicted on the United States Navy in a fair fight." In the overnight battle the U. S. Navy lost the heavy cruisers "Vincennes", "Astoria", and "Quincy" and the Australian cruiser "Canberra" was lost. Approximately 2,000 seamen went down with their ships or were wounded.
Shortly to follow was the battle off Savo Island. All navy ships involved in this battle were lost or damaged except one. Admiral Norman Scott on the bridge of the heavy cruiser "Atlanta" and Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan on the bridge of the heavy cruiser "San Francisco" were killed during this battle which lasted only twenty four minutes. It was described by Admiral King as "one of the most furious sea battles ever fought."
The U. S. Navy suffered heavy losses in six more naval battles with the Japanese Navy before Guadalcanal was free from Japanese control.

Dear Lord, grant the navy seamen grace at the moment of their awful overtaking. Thank you Lord.
