Dutches & John.. bravo! It seems the US elections so far HAVE / are promising more corruption, violence etc than we saw in Afghan..

Mrstank.. I hadn't seen you for months.. glad that you visited thread at same time I stopped in... & I saw you were still with us. Thank you of the great pix of you & hubby. I am sure you miss him & vice versa.

Hope he will write (and all the GIs will write) letters to their local newspapers telling the truth about what is over there. The facts from OUR MEN/WOMEN THERE will help the populace to know the real stories.. not the stories filtered via the out of focus lens of the MSM>

Ordinary People

Read: Deuteronomy 4:5-14

Take heed to yourself, . . . lest you forget the things your eyes have seen . . . . And teach them to your children. —Deuteronomy 4:9

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 45-46; 1 Thessalonians 3

David Isay, a radio producer, says that in a culture inundated with the stories of celebrities, we need to hear the recorded voices of ordinary people, because their lives and contributions are no less important. Isay is a driving force behind StoryCorps, "a national project to instruct and inspire people to record each other's stories in sound."

It's a great concept, especially for Christians. Think what it would mean for your great-great-grandchildren to hear and see you telling the story of your life—describing the people and events that shaped you and sharing what Christ means to you.

Just before God's people entered the Promised Land, Moses told them: "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren" (Deuteronomy 4:9).

That same responsibility of face-to-face communication is still ours. Yet we have the unusual opportunity of leaving a message for future generations. Begin recording your own uniquely important story. Or help a friend or relative record theirs. There is great value in the stories of ordinary people who know and love the Lord. —David McCasland

Life's truest heroes never carve their name
On marble columns built for their acclaim;
They build instead a legacy that springs
From faithful service to the King of kings. —Gustafson

A life lived for God leaves a lasting legacy.
