GETTING UNDERWAY

A young Ensign, who had just completed his first overseas deployment, was given the opportunity to "show his stuff" by getting his ship underway. As he yelled out commands with great confidence, sailors were running everywhere. In no time, the ship came out of the channel, headed for home. It was accomplished so well that he set a new record for getting a destroyer underway. He wasn't surprised when a seaman approached him with a message from his CO. . . he was surprised to find that it was a radio message. He was even more surprised as he read, "Bravo Zulu upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules always make sure the CO is aboard before getting underway."

In our haste to "get underway" daily in this vast ocean that we call "life," let us remember to make sure that God is aboard. It is He who will guide and direct us safely through the storms and rough seas!

Onward Christian Soldiers

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.



O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

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.

Well, ok, I’ll take it.

Thanks Kathy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL!! Me too! The thing I hate about fall back, besides the stupidness of DST, is some of my clocks insist that they only go forward....it takes forever! I’ll be starting soon, even tho it is only 4:15pm

An Urge To Be Anonymous

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 6:1-4

When you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your . . . deed may be in secret. —Matthew 6:3-4

The urge to misbehave and the desire to be anonymous always visit me together. Like partners making a sales call, they do their best to convince me that I can afford to do something wrong because I won’t have to pay.

Human nature tells us to use the cover of anonymity to avoid taking the blame for the bad things we do. God, however, tells us something else. He wants us to use anonymity to avoid taking credit for the good that we do (Matt. 6:4). Why is it that the urge to remain anonymous seldom accompanies my desire to do good!

The Bible says we’re not to let one hand know the good that the other is doing (vv.3-4). In other words, within the body of Christ our deeds of charity should be done without calling attention to ourselves. This does not mean, however, that God wants good deeds to remain hidden; it just means that they should be done in a way that makes a good name for God, not ourselves (5:16).

When we volunteer our services or make donations to churches and organizations that do good work in the name of Jesus, we receive something much better than honor from our peers. We receive rewards from God, and God receives glory from others! (1 Peter 2:12).

God bless you and keep you and give you His love;
God prosper your labor with help from above.
Be His strength in your arm and His love in your soul,
His smile your reward and His glory your goal. —Anon.

When we serve in Jesus’ name, He gets the glory.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 24-26; Titus 2

Thank you for chapel Grammie....in my heart & prayers! *hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[PERKY2004]

We just finished changing all 16 of our clocks. I don’t know what’s sillier ... Daylight Savings Time, or the fact that two people have 16 clocks!!!

[PERKY2004]

Is it just me, or does this fishie look worried?

[PERKY2004]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Halloween, Perky. Is it about time for kids at your door?

[Cindy]

“... besides the stupidness of DST...”

BIG DITTO.

Yep, the old grandfather clock takes a certain way to set it...the rest just take time to set them, for sure.

[saturn1964]

May Jesus Christ bless all of you....Amen

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Lord’s Day to you and yours, JJ...((HUGS))

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks Ma!

(((HUGZ)))

[yorkie]

We have never had one trick or treater come to the house.
Do you suppose it is the driveway?

[mylife]

Yark!

[yorkie]

“Yark!”

Is that like ‘bark’ with a “why”?

[Brad's Gramma]

KATHY!!! No one was arrested!!!

Whoo HOOO!

(leaving everyone else to scratch their heads ...huh?).

;)

[Brad's Gramma]

And you too, Saturn... You too...

[LUV W]

Ooooooo......I wouldn’t walk down that drive. The trees look aliiiiiive!

[yorkie]

You did drive down it though - but, it was daylight. Even I won't walk down it at night. LOL!

[LUV W]

LOL! It sure looks different at night! ~~shudder~~

[Lady Jag]

What to do when your clock falls back early without permission?

Ich falle zurück!

It's a German clock
with fine movement

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! You have to keep a close eye on some of those clocks.

Did you have little visitors this evening?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Posted for a friend...

[AZamericonnie]

We didn't have one either Yorkie....I suppose it's the gate!:)

All I got was this sack full of rocks!:)

[HiJinx]

I’d walk down it in a heartbeat! It looks too cool!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to The Mayor family. Thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[Lady Jag]

No one comes trick or treaty on this part of the road. There aren’t many houses, itt’s dark and narrow, and woods grow right up to the pavement. It’s spooky any night but Halloween is downright scary. Wind gusts and a nearly full moon tonight, too.

Gee, I’m making myself want to go out.

[Brad's Gramma]

heh.... Thanks!!!

[yorkie]

It's cool alright.
The last person who walked down my driveway at night
was never seen again. (His shoes were all that were ever found.)

[Brad's Gramma]

My SHOES!!! I’ve been looking for them!

;)

[LUV W]

You are WAY braver than I am! You have seen what kind of
critters she gets there in her yard! LOL!

I'm 'fraid they'll git me if I don't watch out!

[yorkie]

Too late, Luvie! You didn't "watch out"!
