(Duty, Honor, Country. What else needs to be said?)
To: StarCMC
“A man must know his destiny if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.” Every high school student should be required to memorize this.
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” Take it little further and make it “Tell them what they can’t do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” However since Patton’s day Americans have been conditioned to accept cant-ism.

“If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.” ROTFLOL! OTOH, if the "original" thought is a leftist, defeatist one, that's not really thinking either!

A Good Stretch
READ:
Romans 8:26-28My strength is made perfect in weakness. —2 Corinthians 12:9
Physical therapy is a painful necessity after knee-replacement surgery. Part of my routine involved my therapist pulling my knee back into a bent position and holding it taut. “Good stretch?” Mason would ask encouragingly. “No,” I winced, “not that good!”
I soon learned, however, how important it is to stretch one’s muscles and joints—sometimes causing discomfort—to gain full range of motion.
That wasn’t the first time I’ve been “stretched” outside my comfort zone. God has sometimes urged me to share my faith with someone I didn’t know very well, or to give an offering that was far beyond what I usually give, or to confront someone about a situation.
Abraham’s life illustrates the importance of faith when God asks us to move beyond our comfort zone. “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called . . . . He went out, not knowing where he was going” (Heb. 11:8).
While we stretch our spiritual muscles, we may feel discomfort. But God assures us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9). Our adequacy—our sufficiency—is found in Him (3:5).
When you boldly step out in faith and obedience to God, you may be surprised at how a “good stretch” can strengthen your spiritual life!
To stretch our faith, to take the risk,
God says we will succeed
If we but ask Him for the strength
And grace that we will need. —D. De Haan
Our faith is stretched by exchanging our weakness for God’s strength.

Aha! Patton Parte Deux.....
I was wondering who would follow Patton. It seems appropriate that Patton would follow himself.

Good evening, everybody!
Shoot, I was on in time to be top ten, but I got caught up in looking for discount tickets to Dorney Park in Allentown, PA. (and then there were the yahoo maps . . . )
