FOX News Report

Greetings everyone,

Here are a few excerpts from an article found in a Fox News press release involving the USS Mount Whitney.

WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush on Wednesday said the U.S. will send an extra $1 billion to Georgia to help the pro-Western former Soviet republic in the wake of Russia's invasion.

Sept. 3: USS Mount Whitney, carrying humanitarian aid,

travels through the Bosporus strait in Istanbul on its way to Georgia.

The United States has sent two military ships bearing aid to Georgia, and the USS Mount Whitney — the flagship of the Navy's 6th Fleet — steamed through the Dardanelles early Wednesday and was expected to pass through the Bosporus later in the day. The two Turkish-controlled straits link the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

Psalm 139:9-10 (NIV)

My prayers tonight are for the crew aboard the USS Mount Whitney. May you set sail on the course God's hand has prepared for you. May you settle on the far side of the sea unknown to you and may you allow God to hold fast to you.



Blessings from a proud military spouse,
