Good morning

The much-loved children's story Pinocchio is about a wooden puppet whose nose grows long when he tells a lie. His friend Jiminy Cricket chirps, "Let your conscience be your guide." Pinocchio follows his advice, repents, and returns to Geppetto his creator, where he is given a heart of flesh and is freed from his strings.
There's a principle in this story for God's children. If we don't listen to that voice deep down inside that tells us what we should and should not do, we live in bondage. But a cleansed conscience brings freedom.
Some people have no strong basis for making godly decisions. Their conscience is weak, and they can be easily swayed by the behavior of others. Then there are those whose conscience is defiled. The standard by which they measure good and evil is corrupted, polluted, and impure (Titus 1:15). But saddest of all are those who have a "seared" conscience (1 Timothy 4:2). They have resisted that inner voice for so long that they no longer hear what it has to say.
But you ask, "How can we have a cleansed conscience?" We must repent of our sin and return to our Creator. We must ask Him to conform our desires and behavior to His Word and then be careful to obey it. -David Roper
Conscience is a trustworthy compass when God's Word is your true north.
Good morning all. Thanks for the pings, even if I don't reply to them all. Good article on the use of airpower to support the ground troops.
I didn't like the last comment about the US not being able to win at the conference table as well as not winning on the battlefield. It's a well known fact that the US would have beaten the NVA and ultimately the VC if the Armed Services had been allowed to do their jobs instead of the politicos telling them what to do.
Again, thanks for the ping and ...........
Cheers!
Good morning, Foxhole! Falling in for my Wednesday read. How are things with Sam and Snippy today?
Good Morning all.
Have to dig out some old fence posts and put in new ones this morning. Lost about a 20 foot section of fence during the storms last winter and I can't put off replacing it any more. The joys of home ownership. ;-)
I promise not to work too hard, Snippy. ;-) It's all going to depend on how easy those old posts come out.
