Tunes For The Troops     Messiah is an English oratorio composed by George Frideric Handel, and is one of the most popular works in the Western choral literature. The libretto by Charles Jennens is drawn entirely from the King James and Great Bibles, and interprets the Christian doctrine of the Messiah. Messiah is one of Handel's most famous works, but it is often incorrectly called The Messiah. Composed in London during the summer of 1741 and premiered in Dublin, Ireland on 13 April 1742, Messiah was repeatedly revised by Handel, reaching its most familiar version in the performance to benefit the Foundling Hospital in 1754. In 1789 Mozart orchestrated a German version of the work, and his added woodwind parts were commonly heard until the mid-20th century and the rise of historically informed performance. This music is provided for the entertainment of our Troops, Veterans, Allies & their families! Enjoy the variety of musical selections that the Canteen Deejays have provided throughout the thread. Please ping any DJ with your requests for the Troops. All music is removed on Monday. Thanks to all the DeeJay's for their time & effort providing entertainment for the Troops! *Canteen Mission Statement* Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

The Hope That Banishes Hopelessness

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Philippians 2:5-11

God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. —Galatians 6:14

When atheistic communism was a world-menacing power, it proclaimed that there is no God and that faith in any future life is a deceptive illusion. Leonid Brezhnev had been the Soviet dictator, the embodiment of Marxist unbelief. But something happened at his funeral that contradicted atheism. George H. W. Bush, then vice president of the US, was the country’s official representative at the solemn, formal ceremony.

He reported that while the casket was still open, Brezhnev’s widow stared motionless at her husband’s body. And just before the soldiers were about to close the lid, she reached inside and made the sign of the cross over his chest. What a desperate and significant gesture! That widow evidently hoped that what her husband had vehemently denied might somehow be true.

Thankfully, we can have hope beyond this earthly life! All we need to do is embrace by faith the saving message of the cross: Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that we might live eternally with Him. Do you believe? Then join with the apostle Paul in affirming that “we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (1 Tim. 4:10).

The cross is my hope for eternity—
No merit have I of my own;
The shed blood of Christ my only plea—
My trust is in Jesus alone. —Christiansen

Calvary’s cross is the only bridge to eternal life.

Bible in One Year: Haggai 1-2; Revelation 17

Merry Christmas gang (Especially those of you passed out on the couch from dinner)

[saganite]

Are we dedicating songs to the troops here with a Holiday theme? Well, here’s one I think someone far from home on a holiday might like.

Traveller’s Lantern
Dwight Yoakam

If deep in the night
You hear a voice calling
lost and alone
Barely able to speak

With each weary step
Through cold shadow they stumble
Blindly along
Frail, hopeless and weak

Chorus:
Won’t you set out a traveler’s lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea

At dawn’s rise you may find
The footprints of angels
Brought to fellowship there
By your mercy lamp’s flame

Walking beside
The weary soul life’s forgotten
Bringing comfort and love
And gently leading their way

Chorus:
Won’t you set out a traveler’s lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea

[PERKY2004]

Good evening, Kathy! (And everyone!)

Today turned out to be a crisp and clear and sunshiney day (mid 50s!) We gathered up our supply of corn tortillas (probably around 200) and two huge 50-pound sacks of corn, and some peanuts for the squirrels, and headed out to Woodward Park to feed the ducks, geese, coots, jays, squirrels and sea gulls! (We also put out fresh fruit treats for our home birdies and squirrels, too). And, of course, the kitties got special treats, too. It was nice. Fun and peaceful, in fact.

My wonderful DH leaves on January 2 for three months, so we're spending as much time together as possible for the next 7 days. I am having a hard time not being really sad about this, and keep thinking "only 8 more nights together." Anyway ... sigh.

We had yummy carne asada tacos for dinner, with a pepper salad and grilled asparagus. We'll need to go grocery shopping tomorrow (Saturday) for more veggies n' stuff. It was nice driving to the park today since there wasn't much traffic at all. I checked the 10 day forecast (no freezes), so we've uncovered the ferns to let them fluff up and breathe without being squooshed by a blanket.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

~Insulation is Sexy Stuff; Easy Aces-Tis the Season; Big Stink in Colorado~

Another Week, Another "Kallmanac. . .This week's Kallmanac--in which we discover His Excellency has a heretofore undetected idea about what's sexy . . . our old retroactive friends the Easy Aces do a little holiday shopping and analysing (in the first time your extinguished editor has written such a sketch that isn't based on the post-radio dialogues but merely the characterisations of mastermind Goodman Ace--in other words, it's original stuff!) . . . and examine the ramifications of a Colorado stink bomber, with a little help from a very special in-studio guest. This week's old-time radio offering: The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, "Alice Volunteers Phil to Play Santa," first heard over NBC 21 December 1952.

[Fiji Hill]

"Star of the East," one of my favorite Christmas songs, appeared in 1918 when Amanda Kennedy set George Cooper's lyrics to a tune she had written in 1883. The song offers a powerful message of hope at a time when the nation was beset by war, political turmoil, racial violence, pestilence, and the growing threat of Bolshevism. An excellent recording by the Trinity Choir is available here.

Star of the East
(George Cooper)

Star of the East, oh Bethlehem's star,
Guiding us on to heaven afar.
Sorrow and grief are lulled by thy light.
Thou hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night

Fearless and tranquil, we look up to Thee,
Knowing thou beam'st through eternity.
Help us to follow where Thou still dost guide
Pilgrims of earth so wise.

Oh star that leads to God above
Whose rays are peace and joy and love.
Watch o'er us still till life hath ceased.
Beam on, bright star, sweet Bethlehem star.

Star of the East, thou hope of the soul.
While around us here the dark billows roll.
Lead us from sin to glory afar,
Oh, star of the East, thou sweet Bethlehem's star.

[Professional Engineer]

Howdy ma’am

[Kathy in Alaska]

There is nothing so unhappy as a fern squooshed by a blanket. Poor thing. Glad you let them out to breathe. Glad you and hubby had a fun day, together and with all the feathered and furred ones.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;

We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

The life of a soldier, each brave and strong,
Always making sure that things here don't go wrong.

This holiday season, I want All to know,
That our happiness and freedom, to each of You we owe.

We as a people are so truly blessed,

To have soldiers like you spread from East to West.
To the North and the South, surrounded are we,
With military who love us, from sea to shining sea.

My most gracious thanks...I send to you,
The Brave, the Proud, the too precious Few.

And I send to you this Christmas...All my Love,
Along with a prayer that the lord above,

Bless you most kindly, with warmth and grace,
And a smile may he place, on each loving face.

Peace to All, Good will toward Men,
Without each of you, this would definitely end!
