Son” Jesus Christ&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;is the only answer to
solving the problems of our World.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In
the beginning Adam &amp;amp; Eve lived in a perfect place known as “The Garden of
Eden”.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;God gave them Choice as He gives
all of Us..&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Adam &amp;amp; Eve chose to learn
the difference between Good &amp;amp; Evil or Sin.&lt;span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;Sin came into the World and Man tried and failed to conquer it.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It was only when God gave His only Son to
represent the Blood sacrifice&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;that took
the sins of the World&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;so that any who
Believed and “Trusted and Obeyed God” would be Children of God and have Eternal
Life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;When a person tries to live
according to the World’s views &amp;amp; rules it ends in failure.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;God said in John 15 “you can do Nothing
unless you Abide in me.”.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The World
continually tells us “ Be in Control”&lt;span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;and we love control and so we have disaster.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;I believe what Acts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:time hour="17" minute="11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;17: 11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:time&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt; says” read your Bible and check every thing I have
said to be true in the Bible”. “God the Son” Jesus said when He was resurrected
to be with His Father “God the Father”&lt;span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;You can do what I have done and more by keeping close to God and
communicating daily with Him.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A good
formula for doing that is having a daily set time to annually reading the Bible
cover to cover, praying continually, and listening and recording His Communication.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Another good suggestion is to read a Proverb
a day.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There are 31 of them.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Another promise Jesus made upon His leaving
was “ I will send the Comforter “God the Holy Spirit” to walk along side&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;of you.&lt;span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

nothing you desire can compare with her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

in her left hand are riches and honor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'charis sil'; font-size: 16pt; color: black; "&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Her ways are pleasant ways,&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

those who lay hold of her will be blessed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck.  He was the image of the  perfectly dressed soldier.  He introduced himself and  I asked him about his soldier. The escorts of  these fallen soldiers talk about  them as if they are still alive and still with us.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  'My  soldier is on his way back to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;Virginia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt; ', he said.  He  proceeded to answer my questions,  but offered no words on his own..  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  I  asked him if there was anything I could do for him and  he said no.  I told him that he had the toughest  job in  the military and that I appreciated the  work that he does for the  families of our fallen  soldiers. The first officer and I got up  out of our  seats to shake his hand.  He left the flight deck to find his seat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and  performed an  uneventful departure.  About  30 minutes into our flight I  received a call from the  lead flight attendant in the cabin. 'I  just found out  the family of the soldier we are carrying, is on board',  he said.  He then proceeded to tell me  that the father, mother, wife and 2 - year old daughter  were escorting their  son, husband, and father home. The family was upset  because they were  unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left.  We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;Virginia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt; . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that  knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment  and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear.  He had asked the flight  attendant if there  was anything that could  be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the  soldier  being taken off the airplane.. I could hear the desperation in the  flight attendants voice when he asked me if there was anything I  could do..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;'I'm on  it',  I said. I told him that I would get back  to him.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: 'comic sans ms'; font-size: 13.5pt; color: #8000ff; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  Airborne   communication with my company normally occurs in the  form of  e - mail like messages.  I decided to  bypass this system and  contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There  is a radio  operator in the operations  control center who   connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was  in direct  contact with the dispatcher..  I  explained the situation I had  on board with the family  and what it was the family wanted.   He said he  understood and that he would get back to me.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  Two   hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher.   We  were going to get busy soon and I needed to  know what to tell the  family.  I sent a text  message asking for an update.  I  saved the return  message from the dispatcher and this following is  the  text: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  'Captain,   sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There  is policy on  this now and I had to check on a few  things. Upon your arrival a  dedicated escort team will  meet the aircraft.  The team will  escort the  family to the ramp and plane side.  A van will be   used to load the remains with a secondary van for the   family.  The family will be taken to their  departure area and  escorted into the terminal where  the remains can be seen on the  ramp.  It is a  private area for the family only.  When  the  connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted  onto  the ramp and plane side to watch the remains  being loaded for the  final leg home.  Captain, most of us here in flight control  are veterans.    Please pass our condolences on to the  family.  Thanks.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  I   sent a message back telling flight control thanks for  a good job.   I printed out the message and gave  it to the lead flight  attendant to pass on to the  father.  The lead flight  attendant was very  thankful and told me, 'You  have no idea  how much  this will mean to them.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  Things   started getting busy for the descent, approach and  landing.   After landing, we cleared the runway  and taxied to the ramp  area.  The ramp is huge  with 15 gates on either side of the  alleyway.  It  is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering  every  which way to enter and exit.  When we entered the ramp   and checked in with the ramp controller,  we were  told that  all traffic was being held for us..  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  'There   is a team in place to meet the  aircraft', we  were  told.  It looked like it was all coming  together, then I  realized that once we turned the  seat belt sign off,  everyone would stand up at  once and  delay the family from  getting off the  airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the   copilot to tell the ramp  controller we were  going to stop  short of the gate to make an  announcement to the passengers.   He did that and  the ramp controller said, 'Take your time.'   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  I   stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake.   I pushed the  public address button and said,  'Ladies and gentleman, this is  your Captain speaking I  have stopped short of our gate to make a  special  announcement.  We have a passenger on board who   deserves our honor and respect.  His Name is  Private XXXXXX,  a soldier who recently lost his life.   Private XXXXXX is  under your feet in the cargo  hold.  Escorting him today is  Army Sergeant  XXXXXXX..  Also, on board are his father,  mother,  wife, and daughter.  Your entire  flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to  allow the  family to exit the aircraft first. Thank   you.'  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  We   continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and  started our  shutdown procedures.  A couple of  minutes later I   opened the cockpit door.  I  found the two forward flight  attendants crying,  something you just do not see.  I was told  that  after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft   stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit  the  aircraft. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  When   the family got up and gathered their things, a  passenger slowly  started to clap his hands..   Moments later more passengers  joined in and soon  the entire aircraft was clapping.  Words  of 'God  Bless You', I'm sorry, thank you, be proud, and other kind   words were uttered to the family as they made their  way down the  aisle and out of the airplane.  They  were escorted down to  the ramp to finally be with  their loved one.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  Many   of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the  announcement I  had made.  They were just words, I  told them,  I could  say them over and over again,  but nothing I say will bring back  that brave soldier.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;  I   respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event  and the  sacrifices that millions of our men and women  have made to ensure  our freedom and safety in these United  States of AMERICA .  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; As a Veteran I can only think of all the veterans  including the  ones that rode below the deck on their way home and how they  we were treated. When I read things like this I am proud  that our country has not turned their backs on our soldiers  returning from the various war zones today and give  them the respect they so  deserve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt;    I know every veteran who reads  this will has tears in their eyes Including  me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms'; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; "&gt;We stop the Blessings of God

God.&lt;span&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Our distrust becomes a Curse that

as man whose son had spells from birth.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The
Father asked for help with his unbelief as Jesus&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;prayed and healed his son.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; "&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs 18:21 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: 'charis sil'; font-size: 20pt; color: black; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The tongue has the power of life and death,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs 19:8 &lt;/span&gt;He who
gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding prospers.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs 19:21 &lt;/span&gt;Many are the plans
in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs 19:23 &lt;/span&gt;The fear of
the LORD leads to life:&lt;br /&gt;
Then one rests content, untouched by
trouble.&lt;/h2&gt;

LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs21:5 &lt;/span&gt;The plans of the
diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 20pt; "&gt;Proverbs 21:21 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt; "&gt;He who pursues righteousness and love finds life,

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Proverbs 21:30 &lt;/span&gt;There is no
wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Job 1:8 &lt;/span&gt;Then the LORD said to
Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like
him; he is blameless and upright, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 22pt; "&gt;a man who fears God and shuns evil."    This equals Wisdom &amp;amp;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24pt; "&gt;Satan means accuser&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
