That is so cool...the kitty and the game. I have a friend
who watched the American team captain, Jamie Langenbrunner, grow up and has written columns about him. I know he’s proud of this win!...as are all Americans!

Oh...and thanks for the sweet compliment, but you do some darn good work yourself, Lady! (((hugs)))

Short-Timers

READ: Romans 5:1-5

Hope does not disappoint. —Romans 5:5

I served in the Armed Forces many years ago and have always been thankful that I was able to give those years to my country. I must say, however, that my most memorable time in the service was the brief interval when I was a “short-timer.”

Short-timers are soldiers who have but a few weeks before discharge. They spend their last days “mustering out”—visiting the commissary and the quartermaster’s office to clear accounts and return equipment. What I remember most about that period was my jaunty pace and the happy, carefree spirit with which I carried out my tasks. I had duties but few worries, for I knew I was going home.

Now that I’m an “old-timer,” once again I’m a short-timer. It won’t be long before I’m discharged from my duty here. Again, my pace is jaunty and my spirit is light for I know that very soon I’ll be going home. That’s the outlook that Jesus and His apostles called “hope” (Acts 24:15; Rom. 5:2,5).

Hope, in the biblical sense, means certainty and assurance. It is the firm, unshakable, indomitable belief that we will be raised from the dead (as Jesus was) and will be welcomed into our eternal home. That’s enough to put joy in our heart and a spring in our step this day!

God has given us a life abundant
As we serve Him in this world below;
Though our time on earth is surely fleeting,
Hope of heaven makes our pathway glow. —Hess

The risen Christ will come from heaven to take His own to heaven.

Bible in One Year: Numbers 4-6; Mark 4:1-20

Gail I have been taking Fish Oil for my arthritis and detest the aftertaste. Hubby just told me yesterday about the freezing of the pills, so today mine go in the freezer!
We are both suffering from arthritis and especially now that the weather is cold and rainy.

[pollywog]

PS... I like the old fashioned churches that practiced the “ laying on of hands” too!!!!!!

[GailA]

I love the old songs, but like some of the new, wish the churches would learn to give a blend of them. They seem to want to cater to the youth and forget us older worshipers.

It's time to SET THE DC AND LOCAL PHONE LINES of your congress critters ON FIRE TODAY

Obamadeathcare front and center on the agenda. 35 TAXES according to Drudge.

Beautiful devotional.

“I will be with you always, even to the end of the world.”

Father, May the light of Jesus shine through us today. Amen.

God has created man for His service. We are vessels to do the LORD’S work. Let us be about our Father’s business.
