Read: Proverbs 4:20-27
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. —Proverbs 4:23
Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 26-27; Mark 14:27-53
If you're over 40 years old, your heart has already beat more than 1.5 billion times. I know that when my heart stops, it will be too late to change my ways. So I've been trying to control my weight, get exercise, and watch not only what I eat but also what's eating me.
This last point relates to another vital organ called "the heart"—our spiritual heart. It too has throbbed millions of times with thoughts, affections, and choices. In the heart we determine how we will speak, behave, and respond to life's circumstances (Proverbs 4:23). Will we trust the Lord and choose to be gracious, patient, and loving? Or will we yield to pride, greed, and bitterness?
Today's Scripture reading emphasizes the importance of caring for our heart. Are we keeping spiritually fit?
Have you checked your heart lately? —Mart De Haan
You are truly one of our Finest !!

1LT Panamaroff:
An Officer and a Gentleman I knew John Panamaroff for a couple of years before his death. I met Pan while he was in Officer's Candidate School at Fort Knox, KY. Young women from my college were randomly matched up for a dance. He was my date. Pan was a class act, President of his class, very handsome, charming, dark complected, brown eyes, well respected and liked, a confident smile and a gentle laugh. He had lots of friends. The first date turned gradually to love. He and his Ford Mustang became a regular at my family home. After Fort Knox he trained to be a helicopter pilot in Texas. And then was promptly off to Vietnam. He sent slides of Vietnam and some letters. He was only there a few months when he was reported MIA persumed dead. After awhile they recovered his body. It certainly was a most devastating time. I always now smile when I think of him.

175th Combat Assaut Helicopter Co. Vinh Long, VN
I well remember that day in March when we left on a combat assault. It was mid afternoon over 31 years ago and your gunship took fire and you and your crew were killed. We shared many nights at the officers club drinking beers and just talking. I have been to the Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker and seeing your name on the 1st Aviation Brigade Memorial caused me to remember all of our good times.
