For the eighth year in a row! “‘Each fall, mice and other rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the United States,’ Orkin says, in a press release.

Servicepersons Prayer

Praying for our Service-people. As I reflect on my 20 years of Air Force service, one thing was missing that would have been very comforting; the knowledge that my home church, or some church, took my name, me, to the Lord at every weekly service. The Lutheran Church for which I have played every Sunday, has a list of military people in the weekly bulletin which the congregation read as part of the prayer. Our Church leaders have agreed that a form of this would be meaningful to Service-people who are relatives or friends of some of us.
