Thanks for posting the story of Sgt. Hammer. I love that story. And what a handsome cat he is!
Read: Acts 20:17-25
None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy. —Acts 20:24
Bible In One Year: Job 17-19; Acts 10:1-23
Robertson McQuilkin used this phrase to express his desire to remain faithful to the Lord throughout his spiritual journey. His prayer ended with the words "Lord, let me get home before dark." He explained this by first saying, "I fear . . . that I should end before I finish, or finish but not well. That I should stain Your honor, shame Your name, grieve Your loving heart. Few, they tell me, finish well."
McQuilkin's words echo the heartfelt longing of the apostle Paul as he faced danger ahead in Jerusalem: "None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24).
It is God's word of grace (v.32) that encourages us to continue in faith, for it tells us that He is able to strengthen us until the end of our lives. So let's keep walking and trusting as we pray, "By Your grace, Father, I humbly ask You to help me get home before dark." —David McCasland
Oh, how sweet this story is! I didn't read it before, so thank you for posting it here today, *Fred*! You're so fine!
Good afternoon dutchess. What a great story! Loved it.
Happy hump day to all the rest of the Finest.
Happy belated birthday to Billie!
Thanks to everyone who posts all the lovely pictures...especially Lady X--your pictures of rainbows, northern lights, and the little blond-haired girl(who looked amazingly like my granddaughter!) really lifted my spirit.
And thanks to The Mayor whose posts never fail to inspire me.
I'll be back eventually but now, back to lurking mode. I *still* come to The Finest to read & keep up with everybody!
Mornin'Afternoon, everybody ! Happy Wednesday !
Hey, ya'll check out THIS ad.
June 24, 2004: Kerry's Coalition of the Wild-eyed
(Go to this link, then click on the ad)The ad is under the "TV Ads" / "Pessimism"
Commentary by Freeper who sent me to the ad:
For months now, Democrats and Democrat front groups have been hammering President Bush...especially the clinically insane Al Gore and the terminally obnoxious Michael Moore and...arrgghhhh!...Howard Dean. And MoveOn.org actually produced two TV ads comparing the president to Adolf Hitler.
Well, the Bush campaign took clips from these various attacks and put together their own little ad titled, "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party: The Coalition of the Wild-Eyed." ( http://www.georgewbush.com )
Now get this.
The Kerry campaign is having a cow over the Bush ad. "The Bush campaign should immediately remove these hateful images from its website and apologize for using them," said Kerry mouthpiece Phil Singer. "The use of Adolf Hitler by any campaign, politician or party is simply wrong." Does that take brass, or what? For the record, the Kerryites didn't issue any condemnation of MoveOn.org when they originally released their Bush-as-Hitler ads earlier this year.
Expressing outrage over having their own words used against them. Priceless.
Priceless indeed. Ya just GOTTA see this ad. BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!
Georgio W. Bush loved it too!
Cool Story you've presented, FRed.
Our nephew is stationed at Fort Carson.
Wonder if he's had a chance to meet Pfc. Hammer?!?
I've read several articles about canines being brought back but never a cat. Go cats!
Afternoon, (((((dutchess)))))
