Prayers going up.
February 6, 2005
The prayers of young children show us what they think of God. Here are two I read recently:
"Dear God, what does it mean that You are a 'jealous' God? I thought You had everything."
"I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool."
These children are right to think of God as the owner and creator of everything, the One who can paint beautiful sunsets. But how does God describe Himself?
Moses needed an answer to that question when he was about to lead the Israelites into the wilderness. He wanted to be assured of God's presence and leading, so he asked Him to reveal Himself (Exodus 33:13,18). In response, God came down in a cloud and said: "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, . . . by no means clearing the guilty" (34:5-7). He is good. He is also just.
We too can know this God. He won't come down in a cloud, but He has revealed Himself to us in His Word-the Bible. We can ask Him to make Himself real to us as we read and study it. We'll learn that He is even more than the the owner and creator of everything. -Anne Cetas
In a world of superlatives, God is the greatest.
Beautiful message this Sunday Tonk.
Thanks.

Good morning, Chaplain Benny Hornsby!! Good morning, Canteen Crew ! Good morning, EVERYBODY! 
TROOPS!
Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
A couple is in bed sleeping when there's a rat-a-tat-tat on the door.
The husband rolls over and looks at the clock, and it's half past 3 in the morning.” I’m not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows. So he drags himself out of bed, goes downstairs, opens the door, and there's a man standing there. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.
"Hi there," slurs the stranger, "Can you give me a push?" "No, get lost. It's half past three and I was in bed," says the man as he slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tell his wife what happened and she says, "That wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?"
"But the guy was drunk," says the husband.
"It doesn't matter," says the wife.” He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him." So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere,
He shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?"
And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please."
So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, "Where are you?" The drunk replies, "Over here, on the swing."

Sending out a big Hey-Howdy-Hey!, to all here this Super Sunday afternoon.
Sarge and the boys of The Comapny are taking it royally easy today - no stand-to, no formation, no training (except for those poor select few who had to go to the Gas Chamber), pizza and beer at the Cafe', and all afternoon and evening to enjoy it all!
Many of the units around here are hosting their own tailgate parties, and The Comapny is no exception. The fun and fests will be for later, but right now, it's Canteen Time!
Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!
