	CHAPLAINS DIARY Chaplain Searle is deployed to OSAN AB, So. Korea for a year. He shared with me via email the following incident in the missionary ministry the Lord has given him in your Air Force. Please remember Tom in prayer as well as your other military chaplains who share similar opportunities to touch lives with the love of the Lord. I just got out of a counseling situation a few minutes ago that I wanted to share. A young man from the one of my squadrons just found out that his older brother hanged himself and the First Sergeant called to bring him by. As the young man and I were talking, I asked if he was feeling overwhelmed with emotion and grief. He said that this was not all he was dealing with. He continued to tell me that he has been back from his mid-tour leave for 6 days, and while he was home his wife told him that she wanted a divorce. They have two children. He also has a tumor that needs to be removed which is undergoing some testing, he is trying to cancel his follow-on assignment to Aviano so he can get back to the states and try to work through his family situation. That may or may not go through. He is also having trouble getting a promotion testing date. Needless to say, he said that everywhere he turns, there is no hope. I asked if he had turned upwards, and he nodded his head and said that's what he needed. I gave him a bible and when I asked if I could pray with him, he said "I really need it" and put his arms around me and cried on my shoulder as we prayed. His supervisor was in the office with us and cried also. These are tough blue collar men! What a privilege it is to stand in the place of Jesus and offer His compassion and hope to people who have nowhere else to turn. We have the truth, the light, the joy, the hope; but it seems that so often people are not willing to accept it until their pain drives them to it. Just a quick snapshot of how my day ended. God's blessings to you, Chaplain Tom Searle (USAF)

"Allegra,Karen was there and might go back,she is my grandaughter-4 ID.
Ah, yes, I remember Karen being on my prayer list for our troops last year, along with Eric and so many others.

I hope she doesn't have to come back. She's done her time. But if she does, I'm sure she'll do fine and she'll be right back on my prayer list.

Blessings to you both."
Thank you Allegra.

Good evening Sir!

A Massive Celebration

Read: Revelation 5:6-14

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. —Psalm 96:9

Bible In One Year: Psalms 57-59; Romans 4

---

We all love to have someone tell us, "Hey, great job. I appreciate you." And if several people tell us we are doing something right, that's even better.

God loves the praise of His people too, and He truly deserves it. Our most important work on earth is to exalt Him (Psalm 96:9), "that in all things God may be glorified" (1 Peter 4:11). It's our responsibility and privilege to worship, love, exalt, and serve the Lord.

Revelation 5:9-13 tells of a future day in heaven when believers from "every tribe and tongue and people and nation" who have been redeemed by Jesus' blood will surround His throne with praises. All of those individuals—multiplied over the millennia—add up to a mind-boggling congregation of God-glorifying people.

God's greatness is so overwhelming, so unfathomable, and so indescribable that millions and millions of people—all praising Him and bowing before Him in worship—will give Him the glory He deserves.

Even now, each of us can participate in celebrating God's majesty by glorifying Him with our lives. And one day we will join with people from every nation in that massive heavenly celebration. —Dave Branon

Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation. —Schütz

We have all eternity to praise God—begin today.
