God shed His Grace on Thee

It was the bombing in London last week -- the cruel and cowardly attack of terrorists on innocent and unsuspecting civilians -- that brought floods of memories to my mind ...

Memories of 9/11 and of wondering around the ruins of the World Trade Center in New York City, then sitting in the small Episcopal church that sits in what was the shadows of the towers and praying for our nation and the families of the many lost ... and thanking God for the courage and tirelessness of the rescue workers and volunteers.

It brought back memories of the burning Pentagon and the flag unfurled on the roof as a reminder of heroism and freedom ... memories of a plane crash in Pennsylvania brought about by bold and brave passengers who gave their lives to save others.

In the Capitol building in Washington, in a small room set aside for prayer and meditation for our national leaders, is a stained-glass window. In that window is a picture of our first president, George Washington, kneeling in prayer. Surrounding him are these words from Psalm 16:1:
“Preserve me, O God,
for in Thee do I put my trust.”

In these days of war, of terrorism and of trials, may we put our trust in God,
and may He preserve us by His grace.

defend our military in battle.
Be their protection against the

The Good Stuff for 15 July, 2005

The Word
"My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword."--Proverbs 5:1-4

The Founder
"To restore...harmony,...to render us again one people acting as one nation should be the object of every man really a patriot." --Thomas Jefferson

The Joke
Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.

Let's see now:

No Jesus.
No Wal-Mart.
No television.
No cheerleaders.
No baseball.
No football.
No basketball.
No hockey.
No golf.
No tailgate parties.
No Home Depot.
No pork BBQ.
No hot dogs.
No burgers.
No lobster.
No shellfish, or even frozen fish sticks.
No gumbo.
No jambalaya.
More than one wife? (HELLO, ARE YOU CRAZY?)
Constant wailing from the guy next-door because he's sick and there are no doctors.
Constant wailing from the guy in the tower.
No chocolate chip cookies.
No Girl Scout cookies.
No Christmas.
You can't shave.
Your wives can't shave.
The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times.
Your bride is picked by someone else.

Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

I mean, really. IS THERE ANY MYSTERY HERE?
