It's that time again... The annual Project Valour-IT fundraiser has launched. What's that you say? Check this out from the Soldiers Angels website:

Project Valour-IT helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries.  Technology supplied includes:

  • Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.
  • Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).
  • Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.

  • This is an outstanding project that really makes a difference. Navy's goal this year is $15,000. Do what you can!
    (And of course I sent you to the Navy link! Duh. If that's a problem for you then here's the generic link for the project.

    Meditation

    God Almighty--He is Lord
    above us all .
    He is the only true refuge--He alone can save.
    He spoke and the result? All Creation!
    He faithfully preserves those who walk with Him.
    He communicates with anyone willing to listen.
    Other "spiritualties" are just distractions.
    You know that you know this!
    Isn't it time to turn and give Him your attention?
