Took my AFROTC basic training at Gunter. As I recall, it was right next to a State Prison and the inmates on the other side of the fence had quite a laugh at us. Our TAC officer was Captain Schwartz.

Howdy!
I had the most WONDERFUL experience today!
One of my little students, 12 year old T., sang a near PERFECT “I dreamed a dream” from Les Miz today that brought tears to my eyes.
Then, she told me about an experience she had today in school. In 7th grade, they had a substitute civics teacher who was an obvious liberal, and he gave them an essay test which asked “what is your OPINION on such-and-such”?”
After handing in her paper, T. was called to the front of the room and told in front of the class that her answer was WRONG!
T. very calmly said, “Sir, you asked me my opinion. You did not ask for the liberal opinion, or the Conservative opinion, or the democrat opinion, or the republican opinion. You asked me for MY opinion, and I gave to you.”
The teacher was stunned. he said, “ WHERE did you learn to think like that?”
T. answered, “From listening to Rush. You ought to try it sometime.”
H gave her an “A”.

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.

An Emergency Of The Spirit
Sept 23, 2014
Read: 2 Samuel 1:17-27
In March 2011, a devastating tsunami struck Japan, taking nearly 16,000 lives as it obliterated towns and villages along the coast. Writer and poet Gretel Erlich visited Japan to witness and document the destruction. When she felt inadequate to report what she was seeing, she wrote a poem about it. In a PBS NewsHour interview she said, My old friend William Stafford, a poet now gone, said, A poem is an emergency of the spirit.
We find poetry used throughout the Bible to express deep emotion, ranging from joyful praise to anguished loss. When King Saul and his son Jonathan were killed in battle, David was overwhelmed with grief (2 Sam. 1:1-12). He poured out his soul in a poem he called the Song of the Bow: Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided. . . . How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! . . . I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; you have been very pleasant to me (vv.23-26).
When we face an emergency of the spiritwhether glad or sadour prayers can be a poem to the Lord. While we may stumble to articulate what we feel, our heavenly Father hears our words as a true expression of our hearts.
Sometimes I do not pray in words
I take my heart in my two hands
And hold it up before the Lord
I am so glad He understands. Nicholson
God does more than hear words; He reads hearts.
Although Saul had treated David as his enemy, David did not treat Saul as his. When Saul and his son Jonathan died in battle, David honored them in the song in todays passage, which opens and closes with the refrain How the mighty have fallen! (vv.19,27).
