To: fish hawk
Thank you, Fish Hawk. He was one of the good guys. Loved his Savior, his country, his family and the military, both the vets and our troops.
He has been missed and will continue to be. He has not posted much since being diagnosed with ALS.

if Jesus lives, and we know He does, Diver Dave lives also. That is a promise to us from the Living God Almighty. Still there is a great sadness to us left here to carry on without Dave’s company. But we do have Hope and Change, NO NO not that one, the one of Hope of a resurrected body and Change in the twinkling of an eye. Maranatha

Under Siege August 18, 2015
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:4
During the Bosnian War (19921996), more than 10,000 peoplecivilians and soldierswere killed in the city of Sarajevo as gunfire and mortar rounds rained down from the surrounding hills. Steven Galloways gripping novel The Cellist of Sarajevo unfolds there, during the longest siege of a capital city in modern warfare. The book follows three fictional characters who must decide if they will become completely self-absorbed in their struggle to survive, or will somehow rise above their numbing circumstances to consider others during a time of great adversity.
From a prison in Rome, Paul wrote to the Christians in Philippi, saying: Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others (Phil. 2:4). Paul cited Jesus as the great example of a selfless focus on others: Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, . . . made Himself of no reputation . . . humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (vv. 5-8). Rather than seeking sympathy from others, Jesus gave all He had to rescue us from the tyranny of sin.
Our continuing challenge as followers of Jesus is to see through His eyes and respond to the needs of others in His strength, even in our own difficult times.
Are you going through something hard right now? What can you still do for another?
Embracing Gods love for us is the key to loving others.

Christ Our Morning Star
O Christ, our Morning Star,
Splendour of Light Eternal,
shining with the glory of the rainbow,
come and waken us
from the greyness of our apathy,
and renew in us your gift of hope.
Amen.
Bede the Venerable
