Kaylee is a Modern Day Joan of Arc. Here is a message that will give her the Will and Determination to keep Fighting for the Hope and Future of those Spirit Spark Plugs. Jer 29:11
Team:
In 1776 we had a Team that was Focused on their Goal. Our Founding Fathers and Mothers loved God with everything they had. They Fought, they Bled, they Froze, their Limbs were Amputated and many Died for our Freedom.
Thomas Paine refers to Joan of Arc in this message. Joan of Arc (1412-1431) fought for France at a very young age and was responsible for many Victories including the Coronation of Charles VII. She said she had Divine Godly Inspiration. (In Judges 4-5 read about Debrah).
Joan of Arc was captured and burned at the stake at 19. Talk about commitment. Are we that committed?
Leader and Quarterback Thomas Paine was 39 when this was written. He was one of our Founding Fathers influenced by Benjamin Franklin and he influenced Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison.
We are so Lucky and Fortunate to have Leaders that were Committed to the God of the Bible.
We have a Great (Team) Country because we have a Great God that gives willing recipients Joan of Arc Inspiration. It is up to us The Next Generation to keep it going.

American Minute with Bill Federer
December 23
After the Continental Army was driven out of New Jersey, an article
titled "The American Crisis" was published in the Pennsylvania
Journal, DECEMBER 23, 1776.
Written by an aide-de-camp to General Nathanael Greene named Thomas
Paine, General Washington ordered it read to the troops:
"These are the times that try men's souls.
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis,
shrink from the service of his country...
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this
consolation with us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious
the triumph."
Thomas Paine continued:
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly....
Heaven knows how to put a price upon its goods; and it would be
strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be
highly rated...
God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction...who
have so earnestly...sought to avoid the calamities of war."
Paine concluded:
"The whole English army, after ravaging the kingdom of France, was
driven back...by a few broken forces headed by a woman, Joan of Arc.
Would that heaven might inspire some Jersey maid to spirit up her
countrymen...
'Show your faith by your works,' that God may bless you...
I thank God, that I fear not."
