	World's fastest Beagle Deacon may have been the world's fastest Beagle. While lightly tugging at the leash one would never guess the amount of stored energy in one dog. He was faster than a rabbit. Bright brown eyes, angelic upward gaze, slight quiver in his flanks, all silently pleading to be unleashed. Zoom! The click from the release of his collar from the leash was forever accompanied by a burst of energy that jetted Deke six blocks before he slowed to smell the first telephone pole. You know at least one Deacon - the person who leads an exemplary life while in the presence of people to be impressed. But when the leash is unsnapped, whether away from home or when no one is looking, the primal instinct to run wild wins a short argument with a dwarf conscience. The Deacons of this world have placed their honor, marriage and their God in a box. Instead of uniform dependable daily behavior there is conformity only while on the leash. Remove the restraints and undisciplined risk taking rules. Compartmentalization of values, activities, and allegiances leads to disaster, divorce and depression. God did not create us to run wild. Balance and discipline are twin pillars supporting a happy peaceful life. All aspects of life - words, thoughts, attitudes and actions - must be brought into subjection for a healthy relationship with ourselves, others and with our Creator. Want to quit running? You can't reform yourself. Try all the remedies, pills, and Self Help 101 courses and you'll still fail. Help is only available in One who is more powerful than we are. Call on God to give you stability and peace. He is a patient Master.

The Humanity Of Jesus

Read: Hebrews 2:9-18

We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses. —Hebrews 4:15

Bible In One Year: Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5

---

I once overheard this comment about a person who was always critical: "The trouble with him is that he's forgotten what it's like to be human!" How easily we forget our past struggles and become unsympathetic toward those who are struggling today. But there's one who hasn't forgotten what it's like to be human—Jesus.

In Hebrews 2:9-18, we "see" Jesus' humanity more fully. As a man, He was able by God's grace to experience death in our place. And during His earthly life Jesus was made perfect through His sufferings (v.10). But there's more. "Both [Jesus] who sanctifies and [we] who are being sanctified are all of one." Because of this oneness, Jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters (v.11).

In a body like ours, Jesus lived, worked, and overcame every obstacle, so He knows what it's like to be one of us. Having passed through all these experiences without sinning, He then went to heaven and is now our approachable High Priest at the throne of grace (vv.17-18; 4:14-16).

We all need someone who knows what it's like to be human yet has limitless power to help us overcome our human weaknesses. Jesus is that one. He longs to hear us speak His name and ask for His help. —Joanie Yoder

God lived as man, as one of us,
And understands our need for grace;
He is not distant nor detached
From all the trials that we face. —Sper

No one understands like Jesus.

From the men in the Military and the Canteen

[HopeandGlory]

As it was in the beginning
Is now and evershall be
World without end
Amen

[SandRat]

Softly falls the light of day,
While the camp lights fade away,
Silently each veteran asks,
"Have I done my duty, my tasks?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I rest guiltless should my end be tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything for which God and Country have my life prepared?

[trussell]

Thank you for that SandRat!
