Read: Numbers 9:15-23
At a dog show near my home, I watched a Cardigan Welsh corgi named Trevor perform. At his masters command, he ran several yards away and immediately returned, he jumped fences, and he identified objects using his sense of smell. After finishing each exercise, he sat down at his masters feet and waited for more instructions.
Trevors careful attention to his masters instruction reminded me of the devotion God desired from His people as they followed Him through the wilderness. God led in a unique way. His presence appeared as a cloud. If the cloud ascended, He wanted His people to move to another area. If the cloud descended, they were to stay put. At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed (Num. 9:23). The Israelites followed this practice day or night, regardless of how long they had to remain in one place.
God wasnt simply testing the Israelites; He was leading them to the Promised Land (10:29). He wanted to take them to a better place. So it is with us when God asks us to follow Him. He wants to lead us to a place of closer fellowship with Himself. His Word assures us that He is loving and faithful in leading those who humbly follow Him.
Good evening, Lauren! (((hugs)))
Great thread! Hope you are still enjoying your time with kids and grands! :)
It is interesting how many Army bases are named after Confederate Generals.
Just off hand I can think of several. Fort Hood, Fort A P Hill, Fort Lee, Fort Bragg, Fort Stewart, (Is there a Fort Jackson?).
Evening Lauren, Kathy. I always feel reassured whenever I see pix of our fighting force.
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the
Canteen for todays activities.
A visit to a place within driving distance.
I'm taking the limo.
Anyone on the right coast want to hitch a ride?
The really good news is that I am finally back in my office! I feel whole again. hehe
I'm an organized person and it wasn't easy feeling so disorganized.
Going to make my rounds while it's quiet.
And want to get back to that conversation between yarddog, publius, and pelham.
I might be able to impress Mr. Beachy in our next discussion. hehe
Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
The FR Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS

Always cracked me up that it is named for one of the most disagreeable and incompetent Confederate generals. NOBODY liked Bragg, and I think most people wished Forrest had gotten mad enough at him to challenge him to a duel (getting in a duel with Forrest was pretty much a death warrant).
If Bragg had not been as jealous of Forrest as some beauty-pageant contestant, the outcome in the Army of Tennessee might have been very different.
