Hi Teenie!

A rather nice, semi-dry, 60ish day here; still not done with Christmas shopping, (not actually trying too hard yet).

What's up with you?!

[ConorMacNessa]

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Nicholas J. Aleman, USMC, Deployment Processing Command-East, KIA Afghanistan 5DEC2010





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

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



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, amid these who heeded 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!



Taps

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Aloha Ladies!

I know I've been complaining about the chill in the air lately and having to wear socks....but the weather cleared up this morning. While it's still cool, it's sunny.

Over the past couple days, this happened...



all we needed was a clear day to see it!

[Diver Dave]

Had a reunion with a shipmate from many years ago this past week. A GREAT time!

[oldteen]

Hi there PRO!

That's about what it was here until around 3 when that sudden 'fog' chill set in.

I shopped all day...ugh! But, now it's done and I can start on the important things! Making all the goodies! :)

The Source Of Impact
December 13, 2010

The Nobel Prize is awarded annually to people in a variety of fields who have made an extraordinary impact. Leaders in economics, physics, literature, medicine, and peace are recognized for their contributions. When a person is acknowledged with a Nobel Prize, it is the ultimate affirmation of years of training, effort, education, and sacrifice in pursuit of excellence—investments that are the source of their impact.

We might wish to make a significant impact spiritually in our world, but we wonder, What is the source of spiritual and ministry influence? If we want to make an extraordinary impact for Jesus Christ, what must we invest in?

Christ’s first followers were impacted from spending time with Jesus. Israel’s religious leaders recognized this. Acts 4:13 tells us, “When [the leaders] saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.”

Training and education are valuable in the service of the Savior, but nothing can replace time spent in His presence. He is the source of whatever spiritual impact we might have on our world. How much time have you been spending with Jesus—your source of impact?

In the secret of His presence
How my soul delights to hide!
Oh, how precious are the lessons
Which I learn at Jesus’ side! —Goreh

To master this life, spend time with the Master.

Read: Acts 4:1-13

When they saw the boldness of Peter and John . . . they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. —Acts 4:13

Bible in a year:
Hosea 12-14; Revelation 4
