Long Haired Mike 
"God
answered our Country's prayers to end the Vietnam War 2
months before I graduated."
No, I
was not a long hair, dodge
drafting, flag burning hippie as some
might have prejudged us "long hairs" back in
the1970's. I grew up as a Military brat, My entire
family was involved in the Army and Air Force
Military Service. In fact I did carry my draft card
proudly in my wallet which was one of the last ones to
be issued. The draft lasted from 1948 to1973.
I
give God all the glory for answering our Nations
heartfelt prayer's and mine for bringing our soldiers
safely back home, as well as ending the Vietnam
War less than two months before I graduated from High
School in June 1975.
Remember to
always support our blessed troops all over the world by
praying for their protection and for their safe journey
home. What kind of world would we be enjoying or living
in today without their devoted service and
sacrifice.
I'm proud
of all you soldiers out there, you are all "Warriors of
Faith to God! and you are all WOWFaith Warriors to
me!
Note on Vietnam War ending: On April 30, 1975
- Wednesday At 8:35 a.m., God blessed the safety of the
last ten Americans who left the embassy. They
were ten United States Marines departing
Saigon. President Minh had broadcasted a message of
unconditional surrender. The war was over for us..
Trust Your Children to do the Right
Thing
"Teach a child to choose the right path, and when
he is older he will remain upon it."
Proverbs 22:6
I included this photo to
show the younger generation that it is ok to express
yourself in your own unique way. Just as long as you
respect other people and it does not hurt another
person. My dad being in the military all his life was
trying to get me to have a much shorter hair
cut. When I was younger I used to sport a crew-cut.
Keeping my hair long, and wearing blue sox, and bright
colored shirts was my way of showing my
independence as well as expressing that I am my very own
person.
May all
parents understand that its not about what our parents
think what we should be. It's about understanding that
its perfectly healthy for all young people to have the
need to have their own identity to express themselves
and to not take it as a sign of rebellion. Do
not play Satan's favorite game of shame and
try to embarrass them, or judge or condemn
them. Deep down in their spiritual core there
really good kids who need your love and
support.
"Don't make your children angry by the way
you treat them, rather bring them up with the discipline
and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians
6:4
Love your
Teenager
Do
not care what others think
about this, Just care what Jesus
thinks who your children really are to
Him, which is they are a child of God. Tell them just
how proud you really are of them for having the
confidence of expressing their uniqueness. Tell them you
understand how difficult it is to for them to stand up
to the peer pressures of today and how much you love
them everyday for trying to make the right choices when
it comes to drugs, sex, violence and criminal
behavior.
And all thy children shall be
taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy
children." Isaiah 54:13
You are
Unique
God
will bless parents who have faith in Him during the
teenage years and trust their children in expressing
their uniqueness.We all become a better and loving
family from this. God's Word tells us that if we
teach our Children the right way to live that they will
not stray from it.
Carrie here
was blessed with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
She taught me that it was cool to read from the
Bible together even before we went out for the
evening.
Note: Did God stop the
Vietnam War just for me, of coarse not! God does not
want us to be proud, vain and arrogant when He gives us
miracles that are a blessing to us. Did God listen and
answer my prayers as well as the rest of our Countries
heartfelt prayers to stop the Vietnam War? I
believe He did! Remember being continually blessed is
always about praising and glorifying God in all things
and that includes when He answers a entire Nations
hearfelt prayer!
"God believes
in you"
