Letting Go
What things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Philippians 3:7
It has been said that one persons junk is anothers treasure. When David Dudley tried to help his parents clear their house of unnecessary items before moving to a smaller home, he found it very difficult. He was often angered by his parents refusal to part with things they had not used for decades. Finally, Davids father helped him understand that even the worn-out, useless items were tied to close friends and important events. Clearing the clutter felt like throwing away their very lives.
A spiritual parallel to our reluctance to let go of the clutter in our homes may be our inability to clear our hearts of the attitudes that weigh us down.
For many years, Saul of Tarsus clung to the righteousness he had earned by obeying Gods law. His pedigree and performance were prized possessions until he encountered Jesus in a blinding moment on the Damascus Road (Acts 9:1-8). Face to face with the risen Savior, he let go of his cherished self-effort and later wrote, But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ (Phil. 3:7).
When the Holy Spirit urges us to release our grip on any attitude that keeps us from following Christ, we find true freedom in letting go.
Speak to us, Lord, till shamed by Thy great giving
Our hands unclasp to set our treasures free;
Our wills, our love, our dear ones, our possessions,
All gladly yielded, gracious Lord, to Thee. Anon.

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.

Wow, Ft. Greely. My husband has just submitted an application for a job at Ft. Greely. Can anyone add any first hand experience and advice about this place?
We made a visit there in January of 2005 and realy loved Alaska. We stayed in Fairbanks, but made about 3 trips to Ft. Greely while we were there. I would appreciate any opinions.
