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.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hi Kathy! Well it seems I'm a "Go Fish"

You are playful and fun loving. You always like some friendly competition! You have good people skills, and you try to play fair. You remember that a game is just a game.

You love to be surprised, and you like to think that luck is on your side. You are whimsical and carefree. You have no problem asserting yourself, but you are never overly aggressive

[HangnJudge]

You Are Poker

You are a gambler and a big dreamer. You think you'll hit the big time someday.
And while you do like to take risks, you like to believe you only take calculated ones.

You are quite wild, but deep down you're also a geek. Your mind is always churning.
You don't allow people to see the real you. You are good at masking your feelings.

[SandRat]

You Are Solitaire

You are the type of person who prefers to turn inward. You tend to work out problems in your own.
You are mentally sharp, and you find it easy to understand complex concepts and theories.

You don't let your feelings get the best of you - you temper them with logic.
You could spend days alone entertaining yourself, and sometimes you do.

[Mastador1]

Not much of a surprise, I am WAR!

[henkster]

I am poker. Apparently Euchre wasn’t an option. I majored in Euchre in college. Actually it was a double major of Euchre and frisbee.

Ugh! It said I was “Bridge” and I think that’s a dumb game.

Actually, I don’t play games. I get bored too quickly. :)

Faithful To The Finish
April 24, 2013

After running 32 kilometers (20 miles) of the Salomon Kielder Marathon in Great Britain, a runner dropped out and rode a bus to a wooded area near the finish line. Then, he re-entered the race and claimed third prize. When officials questioned him, he stated that he stopped running because he was tired.

Many of us can relate to the exhaustion of a worn-out athlete as we run the race of the Christian faith. The book of Hebrews encourages us to “run with endurance the race that is set before us” (12:1). Running with endurance requires that we lay aside the sin that stands in our way and shed the weights that hold us back. We may even have to press on through persecution (2 Tim. 3:12).

To prevent weariness and discouragement in our souls (Heb. 12:3), the Bible urges us to focus on Christ. When we pay more attention to Him than to our struggles, we will notice Him running alongside us—supporting us when we stumble (2 Cor. 12:9) and encouraging us with His example (1 Peter 2:21-24). Keeping our eyes on “the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb. 12:2) will help us stay close to the source of our strength and remain faithful to the finish.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

Read: Hebrews 12:1-4

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. —Hebrews 12:1

2 Samuel 19-20; Luke 18:1-23

You Are Bridge

You are a thoughtful and conscientious person. In fact, you're a bit of a brainiac.
You get a real thrill from mastering difficult tasks. You get bored if you aren't being challenged.

You are competitive, but you aren't a sore loser. You take a rational approach to competition.
You work hard, and you're persistent. You don't expect to be a natural at anything.

What Card Game Are You?

Well...OK...I know nothing about bridge.

Right now, I need to post and run -

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