~ MILITARY SHORT SPEAK ~ |
 |
The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, Acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on...  |

Sacrificial Love
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. -John 15:13
What does it mean to lay down our lives for Christ and for our friends? In John 15, notice Christ's logic as He taught about sacrificial love.
First He said, "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you" (v.12). Then He described the fullest extent of such love: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (v.13). Jesus died willingly for us and we should be willing to die for Him and our friends.
Then He added, "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you" (v.14). Jesus didn't say we're His friends only if we die for Him. We are also His friends if we obey Him. In God's eyes, obeying Him as a living sacrifice is the way we lay down our life for Him (Romans 12:1).
Similarly, we may not have to die for our friends, but there are other ways to make sacrifices for them. We can lay down our plans or tight schedules to focus on someone in need. Or we can lay down our possessions to make provision for the poor.
Such sacrifices, though small, can be powerful ways to lay down our lives for our friends-if we sacrifice willingly and in the spirit of Christ's love. -Joanie Yoder
We say we love humanity,
But it is only true
If we're prepared to sacrifice-
For those God asks us to. -Sper
The closer you are to God, the bigger your heart for people.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Good luck to Tauruses today!
Humorscope
Monday, February 14, 2005
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
A hexapod robot will run away from its laboratory today, change its name to "Bob", and take up residence with you. Eventually, you'll become best friends.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Not an especially good day to do anything involving contact cement. At least not if you have plans to go anywhere.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
As Buckaroo Banzai said, "No matter where you go, there you are." Oddly, this will not be entirely the case for you, today.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
This will be a very musical day for you, today. Next time, try to remember the Beano(tm)?
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You will declare war on ham, today. Possibly on all pork, not just ham. Why? Nobody will know.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Put all your eggs in three baskets, today - metaphorically speaking, of course. You can kiss your first two baskets goodbye.
Libra (September 22 - October 22)
Good day to mumble.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Beware of Doug.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
You are being followed by a man with an eye patch and a prosthetic limb. He, in turn, is being followed by a large reptile, which is making a ticking sound.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
You will finally get the television exposure you've been wanting, by organizing a group of protesters to block the entrance to a physics lab, holding crudely-lettered signs saying "Down With Gravity!."
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
Following up on your accidental observation of the "sock dimension" (remember that sock you saw re-materializing a while back?), you will invent a machine to let you cross over the dimensional barrier. Sadly, you'll be one dimension off, and will pop into the lost pen & pencil dimension, where you will be severely poked.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Good day to bring an empty donut box in to work, leave it on the counter in the break room, and send out email saying "free donuts!" Later, spread a rumor that your manager ate most of them.
