True Sacrifice

Read:
Philippians 2:17-30

For the work of Christ [Epaphroditus] came close to death, not regarding his life. —Philippians 2:30

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 28-29; Mark 14:54-72

cover Teenagers amaze me. So many of them love life with grand passion and face it with unrelenting optimism. Sometimes they demonstrate the Christian life in ways adults can only hope to emulate.

Such is the case with Carissa, a teen who loves soccer, basketball, friends, family, and Jesus. In 2000, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Carissa was just 12 years old, but she began helping to care for her mom.

During the next few years, Carissa often fed her mom, dressed her, and helped her do anything she couldn't do for herself. "It was so hard to learn," she said. "Can you imagine, a mother and daughter literally changing roles? I truly learned to be a humble servant."

Sometimes, while her friends were out having fun, Carissa was helping her dad to take care of her mom. She continued to do so until the summer of 2004, when Carissa and her family said goodbye to Mom for the last time. As Carissa puts it, "God took her home and made her perfect."

Carissa reminds me of Epaphroditus, who sacrificially cared for Paul's needs (Philippians 2:25-30). What examples of caring, love, and compassion! Not all of us, of course, could set aside our lives to give as they did. But their sacrifice can teach us all about the value of servanthood. —Dave Branon

True greatness does not come to those
Who strive for worldly fame;
It lies instead with those who choose
To serve in Jesus' name. —D. De Haan

When you do little things for others, you do big things for Jesus.

Horse racing is my passion. One often hears a horse ran "wire to wire". The proper term is "gate to wire".

"Publius" was the pen name used by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay when they collaborated on the "Federalist Papers". They aren't easy to read, but they are indispensable for understanding the Constitution.

My MOS. 91B=Army medic. I am an NG soldier and I teach at a community college full-time, so 91B is like my alter-ego. I like being a medic, but I prefer to do it part-time and go on periodic deployments rather than do all the D&P shows that the regulars do.

Mylife means just that.

It comes from my strong belief that the government is not responsible for mylife.

Good bad or indifferent, its mine.
