Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

God Must Love Me More
January 14, 2013

During a difficult recession, I organized a support group for fellow Christians to help them cope with unemployment. We provided resumé reviews, networking, and prayer support. One problem emerged: Whenever someone got a job, he or she almost never returned to the group to offer encouragement. That increased the loneliness and isolation of those left in the group.

Worse, though, were comments from those who had never experienced a job loss. They mirrored the accusations of Job’s friends in his suffering: “If you were pure and upright, surely now [God] would awake for you, and prosper [you]” (8:6). By chapter 12, Job is starting to express things in terms modern workers can understand. He says that he feels despised by those whose life is easy (v.5).

When things are going well for us, we may start to think that we who don’t have troubles are better somehow, or are more loved by God, than those who are struggling. We forget that the effects of this fallen world are indiscriminate.

We are all loved by the Lord and we all need Him—in good times and bad. The successes, abundance, and positions that God has given to us are tools to help us encourage others in their time of need.

Give us the humility, Lord, not to act like Job’s friends
who accused him of sin because of his trials. Show us
how to help those who are struggling so that we might
give the kind of encouragement You have given us.

Humility toward God makes us gentle toward others.

Read: Job 12:1-10

A [disaster] is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; it is made ready for those whose feet slip. —Job 12:5

Bible in a Year:
Genesis 33-35; Matthew 10:1-20

I hear you about no time to rest....my whole weekend has been go, go, go. Thankfully I was able to cram all the weekend errands into Saturday so I would not have to even contemplate attempting to go out today. The street in front of the house is a sheet of ice. Lots of home projects with/for my folks, and my own stuff.

And I have a 7:30pm phone appointment with the Mac lady to finish upgrading my Mom’s computer. No clue how long that will take, but getting it upgraded and her printer working will be good. My IT guy was coming over today, but we decided it was not worth venturing out on the streets.

WTG John Man.....he is quite the chef/griller!!

[charlie72]

He was a war hero, but I just wish he had done something to find out the truth about Obama rather than swallow the Democrat party line and put our nation in danger.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[luvie]

Running late, but nighty-night, conor!:)

[luvie]

Thanks, galz! Not often a democrat is honored but he was quite the hero, too. RIP, sir!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a good weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Understood.....that IS part of his “legacy”.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS)

His military career was for sure honorable.

Hope your travels this weekend all went well. Are you home now?

How’s Nate? Getting big I bet.

[Tucker39]

I think the “Bobby Baker Affair” was actually the LBJ, et al Affair. Bobby took the rap for all of them and went to the slammer for a short while. The story goes that when he got out, his pay for taking the rap was ownership of The Carousel Motel in OCMD.

Also, although Sen. In-no-way had an amazing military record, he soon became a typical sleazebag Senator when he reached DC.

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))

Travels this weekend all went well, and we’re you home now.

Nate is a big boy. He’s walking and running and always hungry.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, GSC...your convictions are understood.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Luv...how are you and that new little one doing? You and Piper enjoying your time together? Special Grammie time!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

This will be my last post for the week.
Have a family thing that requires my attention
in North Carolina and I have to leave on Wed.

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
