REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpl. Jacob H. Turbett, USMC, KIA Afghanistan 13FEB2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



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

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

In The Car Wash

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Isaiah 43:1-13

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. —Isaiah 43:2

I’ll never forget my first experience using an automatic car wash. Approaching it with the dread of going to the dentist, I pushed the money into the slot, nervously checked and rechecked my windows, eased the car up to the line, and waited. Powers beyond my control began moving my car forward as if on a conveyor belt. There I was, cocooned inside, when a thunderous rush of water, soap, and brushes hit my car from all directions. What if I get stuck in here or water crashes in? I thought irrationally. Suddenly the waters ceased. After a blow-dry, my car was propelled into the outside world again, clean and polished.

In the midst of all this, I remembered stormy times in my life when it seemed I was on a conveyor belt, a victim of forces beyond my control. “Car-wash experiences,” I now call them. I remembered that whenever I passed through deep waters my Redeemer had been with me, sheltering me against the rising tide (Isa. 43:2). When I came out on the other side, which I always did, I was able to say with joy and confidence, “He is a faithful God!”

Are you in the middle of a car-wash experience? Trust God to bring you through to the other side. You’ll then be a shining testimony of His keeping power.

How wonderful to know that He
Who watches from above
Will always keep us sheltered in
His ever-present love! —King

A tunnel of testing can produce a shining testimony.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 21-22; Matthew 28

Good Morning!! Good Morning!! Yes, it’s already Wednesday! I am taking time to back track and read through from Valentine’s Day forward.

I am finding that I am like a “ one-man dog”! I think they used to say a Chow Dog was a “ One Man Dog”.! LOL...call me one tracked Chow!

I have been “ hanging out” at the Eagle Cams and realize that I’ve not read or posted here at my “ home base”!
Multi tasking is getting harder for me.

Yorkie, I remember those decorated shoe boxes and Valentine’s Cards. Thanks for bringing back the great memories.

[pollywog]

Ahhhh jaycee....is Wednesday too late to retrieve your greets? Thanks. Your special!!

Actually it was a meaningful day for me. Our 51st Wedding Anniversary. We weren’t able to do anything special to celebrate because we had our handicapped son here, but I can assure you we love each other more today than ever!!

Wow what a neat photo of river rock! Our entire back yard is river rock and we are hoping that it will stay PUT until summer when we can possibly begin reinforcing it after years of wear! House was built in 1925 so assuming the walls were built then.

Wow Amy!! Now I feel better! *smiles* Not the only AWOL grammy!!
