A Learner
They found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. Luke 2:46
The poster in the church hallway pictured a young boy dressed in Middle Eastern clothing, with Bible in hand, walking up a hill to church. The caption read: Jesus was a good Christian boy who went to Sunday school every Sunday.
As a Jewish boy, Jesus didnt go to Sunday school and church on Sunday, so the poster was inappropriate. But the picture is correct in portraying Jesus desire to be in His Fathers temple to listen to His teaching.
When Jesus was 12, He went with His parents to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover (Luke 2:41-42). On their way home, His parents realized He was not with them. When they returned, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions (v.46).
Jesus had the heart of a learner-disciple. Isaiah writes of Him as Jehovahs Servant: The Lord God . . . awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned. The Lord God has opened My ear (50:4-5). In His humanity, the Son was open to learn from His Father.
Jesus example challenges us to be listeners to Gods Word. We too can become learner-disciples if well keep our hearts open to Gods teaching.
Fill me with the knowledge
Of Thy glorious will;
All Thine own good pleasure
In Thy child fulfill. Grimes

"They are unable to be with their loved ones and families tonight, so we join together to pay our humble tribute to them, and bear witness to their continued absence. Let us remember and never forget their sacrifices. May God forever watch over them and protect them and their families."
Senior Airman Amanda Carter, 66th Medical Operations Squadron dental technician at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., leads a ceremony honoring prisoners of war and servicemembers missing in action. Such ceremonies are held before many official base events to honor and remember fallen comrades. National POW/MIA Day is Sept. 19. (U.S. Air Force photo/Mark Wyatt)

Members of the base honor guard at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., prepare to raise the POW/MIA Flag at the National Recognition Day Ceremony. Observances of National POW/MIA Recognition Day are held across the country on military installations, ships at sea, state capitols, schools and veterans' facilities. This observance is one of six days throughout the year that Congress has mandated the flying of the National League of Families' POW/MIA flag. The others are Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day. (U.S. Air Force photo)
National POW/MIA Recognition Day, 2008
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the brave and patriotic Americans who were held as prisoners of war, and we remember those who are still missing in action. For their valor and selfless devotion to protect the country they love, our Nation owes them a debt we can never fully repay. On this day we underscore our commitment and pledge to those who are still missing in action and to their families that we will not rest until we have achieved the fullest possible accounting for every member of our Armed Forces missing in the line of duty.
To observe this important day, the National League of Families POW/MIA flag is flown over the Capitol, the White House, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and other locations across our country. The flag is a solemn reminder of our Nation's enduring obligation and promise to our courageous service members who remain missing and a tribute to those who have been imprisoned while serving their country in conflicts around the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 19, 2008, as National POW/MIA Recognition Day. I call upon the people of the United States to join me in honoring and remembering all former American prisoners of war and those missing in action for their valiant service to our Nation. I also call upon Federal, State, and local government officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
GEORGE W. BUSH

To: All
A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

~ National POW/MIA Recognition Day ~
As you entered the banquet hall this evening, you may have noticed a small table here in a place of honor near our head table. It is set for one. Please let me explain. The military caste is filled with symbology. This table is our way of symbolizing the fact that members of our profession of arms are missing from our midst. They are commonly called P.O.W./M.I.A., we call them "Brothers". They are unable to be with us this evening, and so we remember them because of their incarceration. This TABLE set for one is small - symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner alone against his oppressors. The TABLECLOTH is white - symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country's call to arms. REMEMBER! The single ROSE displayed in a vase reminds us of the families and loved ones of our comrades-in-arms who keep the faith awaiting their return. REMEMBER! The RED RIBBON tied so prominently on the vase is reminiscent of the red ribbon worn on the lapel and breasts of thousands who bear witness to their unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting of our missing. REMEMBER! A SLICE OF LEMON is on the bread plate to remind us of their bitter fate. REMEMBER! There is SALT upon the bread plate - symbolic of the families' tears as they wait. REMEMBER! The GLASS is inverted - they can not toast with us this night. REMEMBER! The CHAIR - the chair is empty - they are not here. REMEMBER! REMEMBER - all of you who served with them and called them comrades, who depended upon their might and aid, and relied upon them, for surely, they have not forsaken you. by Larry H. Tassone, USAF (Ret)
