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.

Bonneyman had it all and chose to risk it all. What a man. My uncle went ashore with the first wave and was WIA out and damn lucky to have survived. Heroes.

Retirement Time

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 16:24-28

Whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. —Matthew 16:25

After working for 40 years as a teacher, Jane Hanson retired. She and her husband were looking forward to the arrival of their first grandchild.

Retirement is that time of life when many people simply relax, travel, or enjoy hobbies. But Jane heard about a ministry to at-risk youth in a city near her home, and she knew she had to get involved. “I realized there are kids just waiting, and I could make a difference,” she said. She began teaching English to a young Liberian man who had been forced to flee his home country because of civil war. Though he was in a safe environment, he didn’t understand the new language. Of this ministry opportunity, Jane said with a smile, “I could just go shopping to stay busy, but what fun would that be?”

Jane is making a difference. Perhaps she has learned a little of what Jesus meant when He said, “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matt. 16:25). Giving ourselves to the Lord through helping others takes self-denial, yet one day Jesus will reward that effort (v.27).

Let’s follow Jane’s example of love for God and others—no matter what our stage of life may be.

Oh, let us be faithful to Jesus,
The faith we confessed let’s renew,
And ask Him this question each morning:
“Lord, what will You have me to do?” —Pangborn

Work for the Lord—His retirement plan is out of this world.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 56-58; 2 Thessalonians 2

What a wonderful American hero! God rest his brave soul!

His wife looked so YOUNG!....and to be a widow.....*sniff*

[HiJinx]

Another great thread, Star...thank you!

[RaceBannon]

Bonneyman was credited by many as saving Tarawa, the taking of that pier was crucial to saving many lives on day one.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

THANK YOU for all you do.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. Thanks Ma for helping.

KUDOs to Alexander Bonnyman, Jr. for his service.
LOL - Army AC didn't want him "for buzzing too many control towers" but that attitude was just right for the MC, I think.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Plentiful sunshine. High near 60F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Generally clear. Low 38F. Winds light and variable.

Woo Hoo, the sun is finally shining!

What a crappy weekend - weather wise - on the east coast. And, a crappy start to my Monday. Those damn left lane drivers! I'd like to....to....to.... I wish.....

Okay, it's Monday and it means I have to get back to work. After my morning hellos, I'll be moving into lurker mode.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

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

REMEMBER THEM
