Good afternoon, Jaycee! True words indeed!



God Bless the United States Marine Corps!



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)

Thank You for those USMC posts.

Though I served in the US Navy, my twin brother joined the Marines a month before I enlisted.

When I went to Diving School, we had 11 enlisted and 2 officers RECON Marines in our SCUBA portion of our class. GREAT bunch of guys!!!

Thanks again for giving recognition to the USMC.

Thank you for that, DD.

That loss seemed to hit me quite hard and I just have to let her know (actually, everyday) how much she is missed!

Oh dear, M...are your days and nights on the fritz again? ;)

I'm headed to find a pillow so I'll say goodnight/morning and hope you do the same! *hugs*

Thanks to all who have served, all who are serving and all who will serve in the future. Thanks to their families. Thanks to their friends.

God bless You, and God bless America.

My hubby served in the Navy also. I wanted to recognize ALL WHO SERVED, even though it was the Marine's birthday. Since hubby was a Hospital Corpsman, he had thought of going on to nursing school, but back then not many men were nurses. It has changed tremendously for the last few years.

Happy Veteran's Day, Dave. I'll be doing a post for Veteran's Day after while.

Faithful Unto Death
November 11, 2012

The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, has a painting of a Roman soldier faithfully standing guard in ancient Pompeii. The painting was inspired by an archaeological discovery in Pompeii of an ashen-encased Roman soldier in full military gear. The volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ad 79 covered that city in lava, capturing the people and their culture in a moment of time. The painting Faithful Unto Death is a testimony to the sentinel’s continuing vigil even as his world was being engulfed in fiery death.

The church at Smyrna—a first-century congregation that suffered persecution for Christ—was challenged to be faithful unto death. Their spiritual commitment had not gone unnoticed by the Master (Rev. 2:9). And for the suffering that was to come, Jesus offered this encouragement: “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested . . . . Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (v.10).

The Lord understands what we are going through now and what we will face in the future. Though there’s suffering in this world, He promises eternal life to His children. In His strength we can be faithful unto death (Phil. 4:12-13).

Though the stress and strain of life
My thread of faith may break,
The cable of God’s faithfulness
No storm can ever shake. —Anon.

Our faith may be tested so that we may trust His faithfulness.

Read: Revelation 2:8-11

Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. . . . Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. —Revelation 2:10

Bible in a Year:
Acts 10-12
