PRAYER REQUEST !!

  
Brad Strobel's update:

First we want to thank everyone for all of your prayers and 
kind words these past months and especially these last few days.

It looks that we will not be seeing Brad and the boys much 
before the end of February.  Immigration was not cooperative 
in setting up fingerprint appts for Joe and myself after 
multiple request from us since October.  So our appts are 
now set for Feb 3rd. and the last issue, to our knowledge, 
is the fact that Bradley was not home to start his job on 
January 1.  
I have submitted documents that we hoped would satisfy this 
issue but our officer is not going to respond if that is 
acceptable or not until he receives the fingerprint report.  
We are working on additional employment verifications as we 
wait for the fingerprints that we pray will solidify the 
issue that he will not have any other choice but to approve
the application.
 
 
 
We do though need to continue our prayers, for Bradley will 
have to fly out of Uganda on Sunday to Kenya and then back 
into Uganda to receive a vistors visa so he will not be 
illegal in Uganda until we can finalize everything with 
immigration.  So we defintely need the Lord to oversee 
and guide him on Sunday that all goes according to plan.
 
Again we want to thank everyone for your love and support 
of our family through these trying times. In the end it will
have the most wonderful gift and we will celebrate it over 
and over.


Joe & Alice

 Also remember Brother Knight Brad Edward Wallace II who will
be going to Kuwait to serve another tour for our freedoms.

          Supreme Court rejects challenge to "under God" in
          Pledge of Allegiance Knights of Columbus waged 
          successful defense on East and West Coast cases
 
  June 14, 2011 - Flag Day

  (NEW HAVEN, CONN.) - The United States Supreme Court has  
  refused to hear an appeal of a lawsuit challenging the 
  constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance, thus ending 
  a seven year battle involving two separate cases, one 
  originating in California and the other in New Hampshire.
  The Knights of Columbus, represented by the Becket Fund for
  Religious Liberty, played a key role in defending the Pledge
  as a "defendant intervenor" in both cases.

 "The Knights of Columbus is proud to have played a major role 
 in successfully defending the constitutionality of the words 
 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance," Supreme Knight 
 Carl A. Anderson said.  "We were instrumental in persuading 
 Congress to add those words to the Pledge in 1954, and they 
 express a fundamental belief that we have held as a nation 
 since our founding, that we 'are endowed by our creator with 
 certain unalienable rights.'  The notion that this somehow 
 violates the First Amendment has now been soundly rejected by
 both the First and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal, and the 
 Supreme Court has now allowed both decisions to stand.  It is
 a victory for common sense."

  The Ninth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of the Pledge 
  in March 2010 and the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal 
  of the California case in March 2011.  The First Circuit 
  upheld the constitutionality of the Pledge in November 2011
  and the Supreme Court denied certiorari in that case yesterday,
  June 13, 2011.
