Sometimes we need a little memory jog. (I need them quite often...lol)

It's a very sad day for many and others who are young and just have no idea about it. UNTIL THEY ALL COME HOME, indeed!

Yes.

I believe in my heart that there are some still alive in Vietnam.

John McCain frantically tries to hide the fact that we have MIA’s and POW’s, and “LOSES HIS COOL!”

I have often wondered why he won’t permit searching for or even discussing our MIA’s or POW’s.......

DISGUSTING response from a US Senator!

I take it you've not gotten results of the MRI? I truly hope you hear something soon!

I lose my patience quite easily when I have to wait for results! :)

[Lady Jag]

Hey I just heard! Have a great one!

I think “they” did something to his brain when he was a captive. Tragic...but very probable, because that’s how commies operate.

Have you ever seen the original “Manchurian Candidate” movie?

Thank You, Sweet FRiend...one day at a time...

Now my MOM is in the hospital. I think she is having a stress reaction to everything that has been happening...
Say a prayer for Ginny(Mom), please...

No Reverse
September 17, 2011

The first time I saw her, I fell in love. She was a beauty. Sleek. Clean. Radiant. As soon as I spied the 1962 Ford Thunderbird at the used-car lot, her shiny exterior and killer interior beckoned me. I knew this was the car for me. So I plunked down $800 and purchased my very first car.

But there was a problem lurking inside my prized possession. A few months after I bought my T-Bird, it suddenly became particular about which way I could go. It allowed me to go forward, but I couldn’t go backward. It had no reverse.

Although not having reverse is a problem in a car, sometimes it’s good for us to be a little like my old T-Bird. We need to keep going forward—without the possibility of putting life into reverse. In our walk with Jesus, we need to refuse to go backward. Paul said it simply: We need to “press toward the goal” (Phil. 3:14).

Perhaps the children of Israel could have used my T-Bird’s transmission. We read in Exodus 16 that they were in danger of putting life into reverse. Despite the many miracles God had performed, they longed for Egypt and failed to trust that He could guide them forward.

We need to keep moving ahead in our walk with God. Don’t back up. Look forward. Press on.

When long and steep the path appears
Or heavy is the task,
Our Father says, “Press on, My child;
One step is all I ask.” —D. De Haan

When facing a crisis, trust God and move forward.

Read: Exodus 16:1-12

You shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt. —Exodus 16:6

Bible in a year:
Proverbs 27-29; 2 Corinthians 10
