Good morning Troops and Canteen!

Here's hoping your Monday is fun, stress-free, and over quickly!

Don't work too hard. Don't fret about it being Monday. Tuesday is right around the corner.

Thank you to our Troops and their families for their sacrifice on behalf of our country.

TURTLES TURTLES AND MORE TURTLES!!!! My mom sent at least 2 boxes in every care package to my brother, who SERVED in Vietnam for over a year, got hurt a couple times, but didn't come home with any purple stuff. He got spit on at the bus station on his way home. Thanks John.

A Life-Long Issue

Read: Psalm 90

The days of our lives are seventy years; and if . . . they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow. —Psalm 90:10

Bible In One Year: Proverbs 16-18; 2 Corinthians 6

---

Scientists predict that the average lifespan in the United States may reach 100 by the end of the 21st century. They say the genetics that control aging could be altered to extend life beyond the 70 to 80 years referred to in Psalm 90:10. Life's final chapter, however, will still read, "It is soon cut off, and we fly away."

Moses, who wrote those words, likened our existence to grass that flourishes in the morning and is cut down and withers in the evening (vv.5-6). Although he lived to be 120 (Deuteronomy 34:7), life's brevity was never far from his mind. That's why he prayed, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).

D. J. De Pree, a longtime member of the RBC Board of Directors, took those words literally. He calculated the number of days from the date of his birth until he would turn 70. At the end of each day he'd reduce his total by one. To see that figure decline reminded him to make each day count for the Lord.

We are all part of a rapidly passing scene. That should sober us, but not discourage us. Moses affirmed God as his "dwelling place" (v.1). That's the way to face the life-long issue of our fleeting earthly existence. —Dennis De Haan

To gain a heart of wisdom takes a lifetime,
And we are told to seek it all our days;
But whether life is long or too soon ended,
God's lovingkindness fills our heart with praise. —Hess

A life lived for God will count for eternity.
