We always knew that the new character, usually an Ensign in a red shirt, was expendable and was always the first one to get vaporized, eaten, melted, or otherwise dispatched before the episode was over.

Hence, the term “Redshirt” means a goner.

Ensign Anonymous, Ensign Clueless, Ensign Expendable, and Ensign Nameless are all famous redshirts.

However, Chief Engineer James Montgomery Scott wore a red shirt but was never killed.

The actor, however, was the first cast member to die for real.

Poor Scottie!






It looks like he may have to refuse the request to perform a marriage ceremony...and his job is on the line.

He and I grew up in the same neighborhood.

I feel this loss personally.

Just heard on TV - Spock has passed to his Eternal Reward.

Rest in Peace, Leonard Nimoy!

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)

He grew up in Mattapan, MA, my home town.

His Dad was a Barber on Blue Hill Ave, the main road that went from the center of Boston all the way out to the Blue Hills in Canton.

His family went to Temple Mishkin T’Fillah on Seaver Street (long ago moved out to Newton) and Leonard got the idea for the Vulcan Salute from the Priestly Blessing on Rosh Hoshana.

So I will quote the REAL “Live Long and Prosper”:

Numbers 6:22-27New International Version (NIV)
The Priestly Blessing

22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24 “‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

27 “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

As Leonard Nimoy once said, (sang, actually):
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return."
I had the record.

Catching Up With Us
February 28, 2015
Read: Psalm 32:1-5 | Bible in a Year: Numbers 20-22; Mark 7:1-13

A pastor told this story on himself in his local newspaper. He was chatting with an older man to whom he had just been introduced. “So, you used to work for a utility company,” the pastor said, naming the organization. “Sure did,” the man responded. The pastor remarked that when he was a kid the cables from that company ran across his parents’ property. “Where did you live?” the man asked. When the pastor told him, the man said, “I remember that property. I had a tough time keeping the cable warning signs up. Kids were always shooting them down.” When the pastor’s face flushed with embarrassment, the man said, “You were one of the shooters, weren’t you?” And indeed he was.

The pastor labeled his confessional story: “Be sure your signs will find you out,” a clever play on Moses’ words in Numbers 32:23: “Be sure your sin will find you out.”

Old wrongs have a way of catching up with us. And old sins that have not been dealt with can lead to serious consequences. As David laments in Psalm 32: “When I kept silent, my bones grew old.” But confessing our wrong restores our fellowship with the Lord: “I acknowledged my sin to You . . . and You forgave the iniquity of my sin” (v.5). Through confession, we can enjoy God’s forgiveness.

Dear Lord, it’s time to come clean with You.
I’ve held on to _____________ for too long.
Thank You that this sin is under the blood of
Christ. Restore me to fellowship with You.
Christians can erase from their memory what God has erased from the record.

INSIGHT: Psalm 32 is one of seven penitential psalms (Pss. 6,32,38,51,102, 130,143)—psalms that speak of confessing sins and turning to the Lord for His mercy and forgiveness. After repenting from his sins of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah, David penned Psalms 32 and 51.

In Psalm 32, David speaks of the blessedness of confession and repentance. He celebrates the forgiveness that he has received (vv.1-2), and encourages sinners to seek the Lord and repent lest they too receive discipline from the Lord (vv.3-6). Those who repent will have their guilt replaced by joy and their groaning replaced by rejoicing. The Lord's unfailing love surrounds the repentant sinner (vv.10-11).

I was going to respond to this, but it’s pretty obvious that you weren’t talking to me.
