CATCHING A SECOND WIND


Cross country runners and other long distance runners have all relied on a "second wind" to finish their race; the longer the race the more "second winds" will be required. This physiological wind source is a timely aid in propelling an exhausted runner onward to the finish.

The phenomenon of the "second wind" has a spiritual principle, too. When the purposes of God seem too distant to continue, God provides a "second wind" to propel his people onward to finish the cause in which they are engaged. Indeed: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..." (Isaiah 40:31)

LCDR Freddie L. Barnes, CHC, USN

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you get some good rain? It’s raining here right now. I love listening to it on the skylight over my desk.

Good morning, Cindy, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thank you for the links.

It’s been raining for a couple hours off and on, sometimes heavy. I sure hope some of it gets up to Fairbanks, the “interior”. They need it badly to help with fires.

I called a biker GF just before we went out to the yard sales...she was the one who helped me when Lynn-Dah was sick, and I picked her up to go yard-saling with us. We hit a few good ones, got some premium skin care products 3 for a DOLLAR (!), and went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Then we went to the Dog Park, and IMMEDIATELY Lynn-dah picked up 3 more ticks! I removed them, of course, but then took her home and vacuumed her and fine combed her for nearly an hour. I was SO upset!

No more Doggie park until winter, I guess. Grrrrrrrrrrr

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!




Amazing Grace
(Click)

By John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.

Thank you God that you have become so observant on Lynn-Dah’s behalf....and that she so enjoys the attention to make sure she doesn’t get sick again.

If it is a city dog park I would notify them to at least post the fact that ticks are in residence and to BEWARE.

Glad you scored at the yard sales.

Good evening, Arrowhead...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

We’ve gotten almost an inch of rain over the weekend. Much appreciated.

The Doggie park is in a very affluent area (although I am NOT affluent...LOL, but it’s nicer than the one nearer to my house). I intend to call the city hall tomorrow with my warning.

Found two dead ones today, so the new product is doing its job.
