OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Please be with him in his time of need & only surround him with others who are positive and encouraging. You know Lord just what he is going through and why and You are the one who can bless him with all that he needs. Thank you Lord for allowing us to come to You for all of our needs. I pray for all of our military and their families. Please guide and surround Ali & Luke in their travels from Arkansas to Michigan today with a band of protective angels. Please allow them to have a good visit with Luke's family and when they get here to my house on Wednesday with me, Andie & Marissa. Thank you Father for everything You do and give to each of us. I pray in Your loving and precious name, Lord. Amen

Sounds like God has been good! Glad to hear about your blessings and visits.

Also, thanks to all who have been praying for my friend's son--we think we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Comment by John and Yvonne on July 24, 2009 at 1:50pm: Hi all,

It's been a while since I gave you an update on our weekend activities. So here is last weekend. We adopt all of the servicemen and women who come to our home as our own "sons" and "daughters" so naturally, when they get married and have children they become our adopted grandchildren. This is the latest - a granddaughter! :)

Saturday Evening (July 18, 2009)

We had Randy (Marine Cpl) and Nikki and little Sarah here visiting us for the weekend from Camp Lejeune North Carolina. It was fun making and eating home made pizzas and playing catch phrase with them and Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), and Trever (USS Gunston Hall). We all shared prayer requests and prayed together. Check out the new pics.

Sunday (July 19, 2009)

Had a great day today! Sunday school was good, the lesson was about about faith. Worship was excellent. Pastor Rodney preached about Satan wanting to sift us as wheat - don't let him! Then Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), Brian and Sarah (my daughter and son-in-law), and Randy (Marine – Camp Lejeune, NC) and Nikki and Sarah Mayzak enjoyed a pot roast, potatoes and carrots, followed with apple crisp and ice cream for dinner at our house. We watched two chapters of the book of Matthew on video. Then prayed for Randy and Nikki before they left for home.

All in all, a very good weekend! Thank you Lord!

Blessings on all of you, Please keep us in your prayers.

John

Please lift Emmy up in your arms of care, concern and healing. Help her medical care team find what is making her sick and deliver her to a path of wellness. Keep Emmy in our arms of prayer.
Amen

Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
