Sounds That Stir Our Hearts
Fitful sleep at best is all we know inside this gritty dust bowl
A sharp rock sticks my sleep somewhere between two and stomachs growl
My sleep goes undisturbed as that pain's been all day long
Now my weary ears take note of something sounding like a song
The slither of the belly caresses just like the touch of my sweethearts hand
I used to scream, leaping lizards, but it's just scales upon the sand
Instead it sends my weary mind back in time to comfort days
When my precious loving lady embraced my heart in secret ways
The rattle of a track with all its screeching and the clatter
No longer jerks my mind awake as if it's all that matters
Now that noise just blesses and it means my friends are very near
So I can keep on dreaming of a time my love was clear
The jingle jingle of an ammo clip against a soldier's buckle
Takes me back with her to play a game and times that made us chuckle
I'd turn over if I could and find a softer place to lay
Than on this rock that's sticking me between two and break of day
But every sound now brings me closer to the one my heart does miss
And in my dream I'll listen for the sound of our last kiss

Our goal is to encourage members of the churches of Christ currently deployed to Afghanistan with cards and packages from home. We know that every soldier serving our country benefits from contact "back home". Therefore, we would be honored to receive the soldier's name and APO from any family that lives in the Montgomery, Texas area who has a member of their household deployed in Afghanistan.

Sharing special times preparing boxes to soldiers for shipping. Our hearts go with each package and our prayers go up for each soldier encouraged by this wonderful ministry.
