Near Again
This little cozy cottage, with always unbarred latch,
Of cobbled stone, and open hearth, and woven tufts of thatch,
Has welcomed many strangers, and sheltered many friends.
It always has a ready smile, just where the footpath ends.
Its lights shine for the person who can enter and regale,
The listening walls so ready to absorb another tale,
A tale of men in storm-tossed ships,
Whose prayers are curses on their lips.
The bottled men, of mute, and concentrated strength,
Who journey all their lives and find in short, for all its length,
Their fate is not of finding love, or leaving it once more,
But knowing it is near again, while they stand at the door.

The British War Memorial inside Notre-dame Cathedral in Paris cemormemorating those that lost their lives in the great war (1914-18) the war that was supposed to end all wars.
Tragically as the 20th century progressed there were more and more wars and more lose of life was experienced by those wonderful men and women who have sacrificed themselves in order that we may live free lives an it has continued into the 21st Century.
God bless all the military who are fighting for freedom wherever they are in the world.

The Devil's Soup Bowl
When [the devil] speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. -John 8:44
|
 While my sons-in-law and I were hiking in a state park last summer, we noticed a trail marker that pointed toward something called The Devil's Soup Bowl. Intrigued, we took off for this geologic formation. As we went, we joked about the kind of soup we might find in the bowl.
When we arrived, we discovered it to be a large sunken area of land-something like a deep lake without any water in it. We were rather disappointed to discover that The Devil's Soup Bowl was filled with nothing but trees and weeds. The Devil's Soup Bowl is the perfect name for a formation that offers something of interest but ends up providing nothing, because the devil is a deceiver. His menu is a bowl of tricks that delivers only empty promises and broken dreams. Satan began his deceitful work of substituting nothing for something when he tricked Eve in the Garden of Eden, and he has not changed his plan. He tried his deceit on Jesus, but the Lord resisted and "the devil left Him" (Matthew 4:9-11). So how do you know if you are being offered one of Satan's lies? Test new ideas with Scripture. Consult with people you trust to be godly and wise. And pray. Don't fall for the devil's bowl of empty lies. -Dave Branon
Satan's a liar, deceiving all men,
Subtly he causes their fall into sin;
But his sly methods we surely can know,
Looking to Jesus wherever we go. -D. De Haan
Satan offers nothing but tricks and deceit.
