READ: Proverbs 24:13-20

A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again. —Proverbs 24:16

During General Colin Powell’s tenure as US Secretary of State, he discovered that a speech he made to the United Nations had been based, in part, on wrong information. In his long and distinguished career, this was a low point and a blot on his record. “I’m disappointed,” he told an interviewer. “I’m sorry it happened and wish those who knew better had spoken up at the time, but there isn’t anything else I can say about it.”

Instead of being chained by the past, Mr. Powell says he has chosen to “focus on the front windshield and not the rearview mirror” of life.

All of us have something in our past that we regret doing. It may have been an honest mistake, a moral failure, or a foolish decision. We wish it had not happened, but it remains in our mind and often drags us down.

The writer of Proverbs said that “honey . . . is sweet to your taste; so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; if you have found it, there is a prospect [future hope], and your hope will not be cut off” (Prov. 24:13-14).

While the past remains part of our lives, it doesn’t have to determine our future. With God’s wisdom and the forgiveness He offers (Ps. 130:3-4; Acts 13:38-39), we can focus on the future with hope.

The vain regrets of yesterday
Have vanished through God’s pardoning grace;
The guilty fear has passed away,
And joy has come to take its place. —Ackley

It’s better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and despair.

Bible in One Year:   1 Chronicles 22-24; John 8:28-59

You forgot Submachine guns.

They were also popularized in the 1920s and ‘30s as weapon of choice of American gangsters and police, in the form of the famous Thompson submachine gun,

Good Morning Connie.{{{HUGS}}}

Awesome thread.

[beachn4fun]

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. Would one still call Pez a fad since it is still going strong for 80 years? Matter of fact, I just sent some in a care package.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today....Sunny. High 83F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. ~ Tonight.....Mainly clear. Low 59F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

I'll be in and out of the Canteen today. I need to finish up time cards this morning. Then, around lunchtime I'll have to run an errand. So, I'd better make my rounds and see what's been happening.

But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

And, for the rest of you………..anyone hungry?

I think I'm going to look up some recipes to see what we can cook up.

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ....

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

(many thanks to wonderful Sonora for the cute smiley woo hoos)

Good morning, all. Just checking in.

Couldn't make it last night. There was a two-hour finale of "Lost" on that I had to watch.

Now I'm still wondering what the heck happened on it . . .
