I met Keith at the church this morning. I must have missed an  e-mail but if anyone else missed it Keith is the Alabama PGR  Chaplin. If you can make this mission please do.
 
I will be at the Woodland Hills Baptist  Church at 3:30 this afternoon to post the flags around the church. Anyone wishing to help can join Linda and I at the church.
 
We will stage at Smith Wills Stadium parking lot close to the cafe at 9:30 AM KSU at 10:00 AM. We will travel east on Lakeland Dr. cross I-55 to North State St  turn right on Old Canton Rd and the church is on the left. I know this will be along time for  visitation if anyone would like to join us for the escort to Highland Colony,  Please be at the church  and parked before the 2 PM service.The route for the escort will be Old Canton Rd to Meadow Brook Rd to West Street to Highland Colony to the cemetery
 
I talked to the Funeral Director at  Wright and Ferguson, they have a private escort service and it is only one car. So be prepared to assist in road guard duties. I am going to Madison now and I will talk to the police department for assistance with this escort from Madison city limits.
 
If anyone caging  is planning on attending please contact me so I can get you a cooler of water before tomorrow morning Any question can contact me at 601-750-8307.

Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms.

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Cecil.
 
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.


Morning Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Lord, please comfort and grant your peace that surpasses all human understanding to the family and friends of Y1C Cecil K. Stephenson, USN WWII Veteran. Amen. This brave man answered the call of his country when the world needed him most to defend liberty and freedom. His sacrifice will not be forgotten. Stephenson family, hold your heads high; you walk in the footsteps of a true red, white, and blue American hero. Take heart in that there are many Americans, many who have never met him, honoring Y1C Stephenson for his courage and his service to this nation. There are also many Americans, and again many who do not know Mr. Stephenson or your family, praying for you right now. Call upon the Lord and He will strengthen you during this time of great loss. 1 Samuel 7:5...I will pray for you unto the Lord.
