REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

1st Lt. Salvatore S. Corma, USA, KIA Afghanistan 29APR2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Words—Do They Matter?

Listen Now |  Play MP3 (Mobile)
READ: Proverbs 15:1-7

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. —James 1:26

I heard a teenager from a Christian family declare, “My mom doesn’t think swear words are bad.” He then indicated which words she found acceptable—words that have long been considered inappropriate.

Society’s standard of language has declined in recent years, but we don’t have to decline with it. As we strive to be “very careful . . . how [we] live” (Eph. 5:15 niv), we should think about how to honor God with our words.

We please the Lord with our tongue when we show discernment. “He who restrains his lips is wise,” Proverbs 10:19 reminds us. When we do speak, we are to filter the words that escape our lips: “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles” (21:23).

It is important to use kind, positive words—even to address tough subjects. “A harsh word stirs up anger,” but “the tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly” (Prov. 15:1-2).

Finally, avoid words that reflect poorly on who we are as God’s children. Paul’s admonition to “let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth” (Eph. 4:29) sets a strong standard for the righteous use of words.

To honor God in each part of life, use words that are pleasing and acceptable to a holy God.

The tongue can be a blessing
And the tongue can be a curse;
Say, friend, how are you using yours:
For better or for worse? —Anon.

What we say reveals who we are.

Bible in One Year: 1 Kings 14-15; Luke 22:21-46

A simple prayer

Lord, help me be the kind of Citizen that honors these men and their sacrifices. I only can hope to be worthy as a recipient of their Honor.

Amen

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand....weekend about wrapped up? Been mugged? Ready to take on the new week?

A couple of light assaults this afternoon. Weekend is all wrapped up. In the morning we all get to do it again.

Been terribly windy and cold. This is MAY it’s supposed to warm. We’re heading towards summer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I probably wouldn’t believe....but making something work is imperative. Work does have some really good features. LOL!
