Pray for Our Armed Forces!
All of you who have been on the site know I have a heart for the military. I encourage you to pray for the armed forces in action and peace. Pray for their families at home. Remember those who minister to them in the field. Pray that those who are believers will walk the walk and talk the talk "so that all men may know you are my followers."
Besides the "Thanks for your service." Ask how they are; be ready to listen. Figure out what you can or will do to help when you see a need. The Holy Spirit wants to use you for help and healing. Rock on!
Check this site out, the video is totally cool, but look at the areas you can help with: www.lazyramadi.com
Have other help sites we can list here? LMK.
"guys" means all service memebers, genders and branches.

Back to Our Normal Programing
McMinnville 07. Will is now going German as well as Red Army. Thanks to all the guys at the event this year who made our trip there super!

Flying Tiger Hobby
Flying Tiger Hobby is moving into year number 3 in a couple of months. I have met a lot of new people as they come in the door. Great opportunity to be and do what Christ wants me to be (mostly an ear, sometimes a voice.) The money goal was that the store paid for itself, and not counting stocking up which I did selling the R71 clone, it pretty much does. I have an opportunity to hand out Adventure Rangers and Kooblekarministry flyers.
William Report
Thanks to all of you who pray for William and thanks for letting me know that you are in agreement with me on this! I want to say thanks to you all for putting him in your family and church prayer groups.
What's Wrong with William? Will has a neurological disability called Spastic Paraparrisis (that could be misspelled) that looks a lot like Cerebral Palsy. There is nothing medically that can be done to fix this totally. At some point Shrine Hospital may do a surgical release on his leg muscles, but that is not known. So for now Will stretches, works out and takes shit for walking funny. We pray for healing.
Will started to manifest this disability when he was about 4. Till he was in the 5th grade he was the target of every bully in school and was teased by all. On a visit to the Shrine Hospital the doc suggested he take a martial art to stretch. In our town there was two choices. The Taekwando Class and the guy at the athletic club. The Taekwando was just too ridged and was going to set Will up for disaster. I had noticed the slightly built older guy doing what looked like the Kung Fu art off that classic TV show. One day he approached me about my bike and in our discussion we talked God talk and identified each other as brothers. I decided to see if he would take Will on. Ross said he'd be honored to take on a student with a disability. Ross has several Vietnam War related injuries, one being near total loss of hearing. So they began. It has been over three years and three school suspensions. Will still takes some verbal abuse but few dare touch him anymore.
With power can come love and respect. I don't mean from others I mean from you to others. Let's look at Jesus. He was the most powerful being on Earth at the time of his trial and crucifixion, yet he did not wield that power in a selfish way. Why? With his power I believe came knowledge and strength to put away himself and look at the overall God mission of salvation. Though tested and buffeted he stood strong, unto death. His faith in the God he knew as father was total. Either because he knew in his being who he was - God-Man or that he totally believed the word written about him in the scriptures; it matters not as he became the lamb that atoned for us all. He did not bring down the army of angels and smash his enemies, he could have.
In our lives mostly we fear people who we perceive as threats. Fear will overwhelm love. When you are able to stand up to the guy that pushed you around you can choose to say, "Hey man, fighting about this is not the right choice." Will once put a kid who tied to punch him into an armbar, he could have really hurt the kid and rightly so the kid tried to sucker punch him. But he told him, "You can stop now and walk away or we can fight and I'll kick your ass." The kid chose to walk. I doubt the mystery of mercy was at all clear to him, maybe some day.
Now Ross is teaching Will about anger management. When angry, Will looses all his good sense. He forgets his art, he says stupid stuff. Love puts one in a winning place anger puts one on the ground with someone punching ones head. Anger makes mistakes and causes errors, and that is dangerous.
Will is just now 14. A hard time for a boy becoming a young man. He is helping teach the Adventure Rangers a 6 week martial arts class called Standing Strong which is basic bully proofing. It is hard to teach a class that old guys think up and tell you what to do, but each day we learn more.
Pray Will grows in the love and knowledge of God, and how to walk that God walk and talk that God talk.
Here is Will doing his Festival of Nations display at school. He got into the Red Army at McMinneville, fighting with them in two battles. Thanks Jason for the help on the display! Take your kid out and do something, so much better than TV and games (not that he isn't into that as well) but reenacting is serious level work and play.
. Prayer Requests!
God's Word tells believers that if two or more are gathered together in His name he is there with them and that He will hear their prayers. Further more He tells us that prayers offered in agreement between believers are heard and if in His will they will be answered in the way they are asked. In the prayer known as "The Lord's Prayer" Jesus tells us to ask for our daily bread (or what we need.) Believers are told to ask so that it can be given so that the Father can be glorified. While in the time of Christ and the New Testament Church founders none foresaw cyber community, with the exception of the Lord. Nowadays believers all over the world are linked in real time to be able to pray for the same issues.
I'm asking believers to agree with me in prayer on the following areas:
Never changing request!
Pray that every day I will not put Soldat FHQ in front of God and His Word nor my family or people.
William
Till the day he is healed. Pray for the health and healing of my son William Cyrus Lee. He is a 14 year old child of God who has a disorder that cause him to have a spastic walk and to often fall. His upper body is everything a boy could want in strength and ability but it is attached to his legs which cause him pain and suffering each day. Everyday he has to look at the other boys who run free. William has "heart" and an Airborne attitude that never quits. A dad could not be prouder.
Kira
My daughter Kira is 18, and under one year away from college. She is 100%, but every teen needs prayer to continue to make wise choices in and for life. She is frustrated with course choices at the public school that requires a PE credit that will take from her the time to work on the cutting edge GIS project that is here in our alternative school (that's like making the maps for Google Earth). She already is a health club member and a red belt. She spars with adult men. She thinks she could use that period of time for study. She feels all she is to the system is a high SAT score and a revenue number. I'm figuring how to take this to the school. Pray I don't go a bit overboard. Thanks be to God she has a great group of Christian girl friends and that Libby is blessed with one of the greatest husband & wife youth ministries on the planet in Dave and Charity Ginther. Pray for "Straight Up Student Ministries" while you are at it.
Anna
My daughter Anna is days from 8. She is a 100% Cub in the Adventure Rangers. Pray that as she grows she puts God in the priority column. Right now she is torn between a career as a bug doctor or a cowgirl, but pink clothing is very important as is riding to school in the Kooblekar.
Adventure Rangers
Adventure Rangers present colors at the Montana Old Time Fiddler Jam here in Libby. Will carries the Star and Stripes, Anna, a Ranger in the Cub Patrol carries the Montana State flag. On the right behind the mic is Kira, big sister playing the National Anthem. The Adventure Ranger motto - Adventures in Christ, Adventures in Life.
Adventure Rangers is a home grown program that took the place of Royal Rangers here in Libby. We went coed and built a curriculum around skills we think a Montana kid needs: camping, self defense, shoot, cooking, sewing, wilderness skills, and knowing God. It is a joy each Wednesday night to watch our patrols; the Cubs, the Black Bears and the Grizzly enjoy projects, close order drill, and learning about God. We make it as hands on as we can, they cook, they shoot, they sew and they eat it up! Remember the boys and girls of Libby on Wednesday nights!
William's Jacket that Kevin painted.
Soldat FHQ is a Christian owned business. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and one way to salvation and eternal life. I believe that "work" is the portal by which God provides for the needs of the believer who then is scripture bound to provide funds to support work in the kingdom through tithe and offerings. I believe that the time is short and the harvest is ripe; workers must be sent. He who is the King of the Universe and "owns the cattle on a thousand hills" is not taxed to provide for His children. Only His children are taxed to receive, and then give.
"Cyrus, I don't believe in all Jesus stuff!"
OK, but you are a partner with me in the whole operation. Nothing is based on luck, you can and will be blessed in some way in spite of yourself as part of your money goes to make a difference in the work of the kingdom. You'll know what happened here on earth when you reach your final destination in eternity. My prayer for you is that you are viewing eternity from the right side of the house!
Pray for FamLee that we will all "seek first the kingdom of God."
