REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD

CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," 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.

Surrounded By Mercy

August 28, 2013

It was almost impossible not to see the giant billboard with the red background and huge white letters that shouted: “This year thousands of men will die from stubbornness.” Later I learned that the billboard was one of hundreds just like it targeted at middle-aged men who typically avoid routine medical screenings and often die from preventable conditions.

Psalm 32 deals with the spiritual disease of sin, which can be treated by honest acknowledgment and repentance. The first five verses express the anguish of hiding our guilt and then celebrate the joyful release of confessing our transgressions to God and being forgiven.

This psalm goes on to show that the Lord longs for us to seek His help in difficulty (vv.6-8) and receive His guidance. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye” (v.8). We are hindered, though, when we stubbornly refuse to follow His direction and repent from our sin.

God’s Word urges us, “Do not be like the horse or like the mule, . . . which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you” (v.9). Rather than hold on to our sin, the Lord offers an alternative: When we humbly confess, His mercy shall surround us (v.10).

Heavenly Father, help us now
At Thy feet to humbly bow;
Take away all thought of sin,
Make us clean and pure within. —Bartels
The first step to receiving God’s forgiveness is to admit that we need it.

Read: Psalm 32

He who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him. —Psalm 32:10
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 120-122; 1 Corinthians 9

You Are Perceptive
You are highly intuitive and sensitive. You often pick up on feelings others won't admit to having.
You always feel before you think. Your emotions feel like they come out of no where and often predict the thoughts you're about to have.

The light side of you connects to the world on a deeper level. You find a lot of meaning and purpose in life.
You are highly creative and expressive. You pick up on both themes and undertones that others don't even notice.

The dark side of you has bad moods that come about unexpectedly. You can feel quite down at times.
You experience a broad range of emotions and states - with that comes some of the more negative emotions that others aren't willing to face.

You Are Skeptical
You're the type of person who questions the world around you. You don't take anything as given.
You are a big believer in doing what's right. You may be a nonconformist, but you take ethics seriously.

The light side of you is faithful, committed, and compassionate. You are a great friend, family member, and partner.
You stand up for what you believe is right, no matter how popular or unpopular your opinion happens to be.

The dark side of you is a bit anxious and neurotic. It's hard for you to let go of the day's worries and concerns.
You also sometimes tend to push yourself too hard, leading to exhaustion. Remember, you don't have to do it all!

You Are an Achiever
You are an energetic and optimistic person. You don't mind rolling up your sleeves and getting a job done.
You are confident and goal oriented. You like taking on a challenge, and you like beating it even more.

The light side of you is resilient and tough. You recover from setbacks beautifully and just keep going.
You are competent and together. You can work well by yourself or motivate an entire team when the time is right.

The dark side of you is easily frustrated by incompetence or inefficiency. You don't like anyone standing in your way.
You also can get too wrapped up in negatively comparing your success to the success of others, instead of focusing on what you've already achieved.
The Halftone Test

It's still quiet here so I am going to make my rounds. Will walk later.

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

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