CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather “Old Ironside,” remained open for free public tours. At 210-years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

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)

Wholesome Words
January 23, 2013

A while back, an Emmy award-winning actress took a courageous stand and walked out in the middle of the Annual American Music Awards ceremony. Her reason? She grew increasingly upset and disappointed by what she described as “an onslaught of lewd jokes and off-color remarks” and raw and raunchy comments by presenters, performers, and hosts. She said the evening was an affront to anyone with a shred of dignity and self-respect.

Unwholesome speech was a problem even in the apostle Paul’s day. He reminded the Christians at Ephesus that they should put away vulgarity, lewdness, slander, and obscene talk from their lives (Eph. 5:4; Col. 3:8). These were expressions of their old lives (1 Cor. 6:9-11), and it was now out of place with their new identity in Christ. Instead, their lives were to be characterized by wholesome speech. Their good or wholesome words would give grace to the hearers (Eph. 4:29). The Holy Spirit would help guard their speech, convict of any filthy talk, and help them to use words to benefit others (John 16:7-13).

We are called to reflect God with all we are, and that includes our words. May our mouths be filled with thanksgiving and words that benefit others.

Holy Spirit, we need Your help. Guard our hearts
and minds today. Help us control our thoughts and
words so that we might lift others up and show them
who You are and what You’ve done in us. Amen.

Wholesome words flow out of a life made new.

Read: Ephesians 4:25-32

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. —Ephesians 4:29

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 7-8; Matthew 15:1-20

The Star Spangled Banner – Verse Four
(Click)

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

FREEDOM ISN’T FREE!

“Freedom Isn’t Free”

By Cdr. Kelly Strong USCG (ret)

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He’d stand out in any crowd.


Eternal Father, Strong to Save
(Click)

I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers’ tears?
How many pilots’ planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers’ graves?
No, freedom isn’t free.


Taps
(Click)

I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant “Amen,”
When a flag had covered a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.



I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives,
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington,
No, freedom isn’t free.

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!

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!

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how was traffic? All the mess cleared away?

Hope you had a great day.

[HangnJudge]

Your Summer Ride is a Toyota Prius

Sure you're a little sensible and quite green...
But no one enjoys outdoors more than you do!

Actually, I would like the Moped better,
backroads in the mountains
City, not so much

[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.

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Wind is down a bit and the cute young wahines came down to the harbor to see the boats which are down for good. When we have clear skies and wind at night, the stars are a wonderful sight....but it's damn chilly.

[left that other site]

Harley Davidson wasn’t on the list.

Hey everyone, a big hug from your favorite bass playin’ lib loathng biker babe.

[henkster]

Hi Kathy

I’m a jeep. I love hanging out with my old college friends. Even though it’s been 30 years, we get along like it was yesterday. They are like brothers to me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Retired Chemist...my very first car was a beetle. I loved driving it.

You look very nice.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, randita....a Jeep is good. Enjoy your ride.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, ML...((HUGS))

What else would your ride be but a Harley?? LOL!

[Diver Dave]

Well, I didn’t take the test but my summer, autumn, winter, spring ride is my maroon ‘89 Mustang Convertible. Top down in the warm weather and when it gets super hot I turn on the AC. I’ve owned this car since ‘91 and have no desire to sell it. I’ve replaced the top once and have a few maintenance issues I must address and it needs a new paint job.

Salute to all my fellow Veterans and all active duty
Armed Forces Personell. I couldn’t be more proud of each and everyone.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/almost morning, Dave...it is always a treat to have a car that has been with you through thick and thin, good and bad, and all the in betweens.

Congratulations on your Mustang....does she have a name?
