~ 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...

MMMM.. sausages, biscuits and pancakes.
(Only so long as my old mess section didn't make them! Bayoneting one's meal first to be sure it won't try to eat you isn't good for one's appetite!)

News Bulletin

Read:
Deuteronomy 7:6-16

He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. -Deuteronomy 7:10

Bible In One Year: Numbers 15-17

The news bulletin commanded attention. Several inmates had escaped from a penitentiary. They were armed and considered extremely dangerous. A police spokesman stressed to the community the importance of caution. He said, "These men are desperate. They have nothing to lose. They have killed and could kill again."

Deuteronomy 7 contains a far more serious warning. Overall, the passage is a positive expression of blessing. It shows the willingness of God to help those who trust Him. But that's not the whole picture. Did you catch the "news bulletin" in verse 10? The Lord alerted Israel to be on the lookout-not for bad men roaming the streets but for a good God who will destroy all those who hate Him.

It's true. Evil men are not the only ones to be feared. We are also to fear our good God. Even though He is merciful and full of compassion, His awesome holiness makes all other kinds of fear look mild by comparison.

We might not like to face this sobering truth. But God will not always be patient with those people who have no love or respect for Him. That's a news bulletin we can't afford to miss. -Mart De Haan

You've heard the news-there's no escape-
The Lord is coming to make right
The wrongs in this dark world of hate;
So make your choice-come to the Light. -Hess

Live today as if you will stand before God tomorrow.
