Gather around troops, your old chaplain has a new year prayer for our Squadron.. Much as I'd like to I'm not going to be mentioning anyone by name.. Well maybe one person <smile> our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. The Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost..
Dear Lord in Heaven
As the clock ticks down the final hours, and 2015 becomes 2016 we ask that you might watch over our Squadron, its members, and it's leaders.. 2015 was a year of expansion for the pack.. We went from not having our own section in the forum, to having one of the premiere Squadrons on Dog Fight.. During the year you held many of us in the palm of your hands, helping our founder deal with grief, and helping a number of us deal with health issues.. You over saw this group of men and women who believe in values, to have them.. That believe in fair play, to practice just that.. You helped those who wanted the Squadron to reflect the very best in ourselves, to be the very best.. You guided our leaders through difficult decisions, and gave all of us one place in this stressful world that we could make something special out of.. a common goal from a group of uncommon people.. We're still growing, and still far from perfect, but we have a set of values that reflect the best of what we are.. and we reaffirm that all things grand in this world come from you Lord..Please watch over us in this coming year.. guide us to try and always do our best, and to give everything we can't control over to you..
In your Holy name.. Amen
