God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess, Aquamarine or deadhead and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For 23 rocky months, I recall seeing no convincing evidence the U.S. possessed a Treasury Secretary.

ROFL!

Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. —James 1:22

Let's Not Kid Ourselves

Read: James 1:19-25

Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. —James 1:22

Bible In One Year: Genesis 36-38; Matthew 10:21-42

---

A child was told by his mother, "Go look in the mirror and wash your face." He insisted, "I already have!" But she replied, "You're only kidding yourself!" His dirty face proved to her that if he really had looked in the mirror, he ignored what it revealed. He may have seen the truth about himself, but he didn't act on it.

The apostle James taught that anyone who hears God's Word but does not obey it is kidding himself. He is like someone who looks at himself in a mirror but goes his way unchanged (James 1:22-24). He hears and reads God's Word, but then dismisses it, not letting the Scriptures change him. The person who looks into the mirror of God's Word, however, longing to be transformed by it, "is not a forgetful hearer" (v.25). He wants the Word to reveal his true needs and show him truths to obey. As he obeys, he progressively becomes more like Jesus. James said that kind of person "will be blessed in what he does" (v.25).

If we honestly want to become more like Christ in our attitudes, actions, and reactions, we must look into God's mirror, the Bible, regularly. But let's not kid ourselves—just looking isn't enough. God's Word will transform us, but only if we obey it. —Joanie Yoder

Lord, help me heed Your every word,
Commands that I have read or heard;
As You reveal Your will each day,
Help me to follow and obey. —Fitzhugh

Open your Bible prayerfully, read it carefully, and obey it joyfully.

You both did a fantastic job as usual!
It's fun to see what someone else comes up with in the graphics department, love the kaboom!

O'Neill is just another liberal with no core values, glad he got rooted out of President Bush's camp.

[Aquamarine]

Good morning JW. It's nice that you had time to come by and read John's essay today.

Have a great day!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, pretty ladies. : )

Neat graphics, dutchess, Billie. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Great column, King!

O'Neill's a pipsqueek. You nailed him good. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, everyone!

I hope to return soon. : )

[MeekOneGOP]

Good job, John !

My Dad's on the way to the house and I think we're going to my aunts house after he gets here.

So I'll see ya'll later ! ...

[The Thin Man]

Good morning! Very well done. Excellent read, and I even liked dutchess' graphics. :)

[The Thin Man]

In the past, and very rightfully so, I have rebuked a hostess (always in a kind and gentle manner) for posting a thread too early. This practice is quite unfair to the previous thread, causing it to prematurely end, and to the one who presented it.

This time, dutchess, I will make an exception and instead applaud you, because as far as I'm concerned the FReepercise thread couldn't have ended too soon.

:-)

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY!!!! I'm BAAAAAACK! TRALALALA! But not for very long, I'm kinda going to be scarce for awhile; just got bad news and it's getting me down. As a result of this bad news, that computer I was hoping to get in June is out of the question, WAAAAA!

(whining over)

I see we have a few, well name changes. HI MEEKIE! Hi, JEN! Hope everybody has a GREAT DAY! :O)
