I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

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, among these who answered 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!

Paul’s Heart

June 29, 2010

According to a long-held Christian tradition, the apostle Paul was beheaded and buried in Rome around ad 67. In 2009, scientists conducted carbon dating tests on what many believe to be his remains. While these tests on the bone fragments confirmed that they date from the first or second century, positive identification remains in question. But no matter where Paul’s bones rest, his heart lives on through his letters in the New Testament.

While imprisoned in Rome, Paul wrote to the followers of Jesus in Philippi about his purpose in life. He spoke of his “earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:20-21).

As we read Paul’s words today, they challenge us to examine our own hearts. Are we as passionate as he was about Jesus Christ? Is it our goal to honor Him in our everyday life?

Long after we’re gone, those who knew us will remember our hearts. May we, like Paul, create a legacy of hope and encouragement centered around Jesus Christ.

Lord, I would serve You day by day,
Doing Your will, let come what may;
Keep my heart faithful, strong, and true,
Always to trust and honor You. —Hess

We are Christ’s “letters of recommendation” to all who read our lives.

Read: Philippians 1:12-21

With all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. —Philippians 1:20

Bible in a year:
Job 14-16; Acts 9:22-43

Rest in Peace, Bombardier Stephen Raymond Gilbert and Cpl. Daane Adam Deboer.

Thank you for your service; thank you for your sacrifice. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

May God Bless and Comfort your families as the mourn.

Thank you for remembering these fallen warriors, Conor.
We are again reminded that Freedom is not Free.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

Sorry that I didn’t make it back last night. I think I was on the verge of heat exhaustion.

Marissa’s swim lessons started yesterday. I always wait at the pool for the 2 hours. Yesterday, the hi temp was 108. I took a book to read but could not stay interested.

After her lesson, we stopped at McDonald’s; she is always starved. :)

Anyway, she ordered a hamburger, fries and a sundae. I ordered a chicken sandwich for my friend. I was not feeling very well and was not hungry. When we got to my friends, I saw myself in a mirror and my face was bright red. We wet a washcloth for my neck and I finally cooled down.

I plan to go better prepared this afternoon.

Anyway, that was my yesterday. Now to see what exciting things today brings. LOL

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

Rest in Peace, Løytnant Christian Lian, Kvartermester Andreas Eldjarn, Orlogskaptein Trond Andre Bolle and Fenrik Simen Tokle. Thank you for your service; thank you for your sacrifice.

May God Bless and Comfort the families of these fallen heroes. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Conor, thank you for remembering our fallen warriors everyday. Freedom is not Free. I’m praying that all of our young men and women are able to come home soon.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Gail.

Aquamarine made yesterday’s Opening Graphic and found the poem last year.

We are in summer reruns but I think the Openings are just as wonderful the Second Time Around.

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

[Diver Dave]

Once again, thank you for posting these tributes to the fallen warriors.

We have one nephew returning from Afghanistan in two weeks and another nephew will deploy in August.

Salute to these heroes.

[JustAmy]

Please convey our sincere appreciation to your nephews, DD. They will be in our prayers.
