REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



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. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

Creation’s Song

Bible in a Year: Exodus 1–3; Matthew 14:1–21

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1 Today's Scripture & Insight:

Psalm 19:1-6

Using acoustic astronomy, scientists can observe and listen to the sounds and pulses of space. They’ve found that stars don’t orbit in silence in the mysterious night sky, but rather generate music. Like humpback whale sounds, the resonance of stars exists at wavelengths or frequencies that may not be heard by the human ear. Yet, the music of stars and whales and other creatures combine to create a symphony that proclaims the greatness of God. 

Psalm 19:1–4 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

In the New Testament, the apostle Paul reveals that in Jesus “all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible . . . all things have been created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16). In response, the natural world’s heights and depths sing to its Maker. May we join creation and sing out the greatness of the One who “with the breadth of his hand marked off the [vast] heavens” (Isaiah 40:12).

The movie “Hacksaw Ridge “ is a must see if you haven’t seen it yet.

The film Hacksaw Ridge drained me, just watching it drained me.

Reading accounts of our great Nations heroes always brings tears to my eyes.

Rest in Peace, fallen sister, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen sister, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen sister, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen sister, among these who answered the Nation's call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen sister, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen sister, rest in eternal peace!
