When Royalty Comes To Town
February 4, 2011

My friend Tim Davis tells the story of being in Trinidad as a little boy when Queen Elizabeth came to visit their town. He recalls going with his missionary parents to join hundreds of others who gathered to greet the queen. Waving his little flag, he watched as the entourage came down the street—first the soldiers, then the mounted guard, and then the limousine from which she waved to the cheering crowd. He looked on as the queen drove out of town, leaving everyone to return to life as usual. In Tim’s words, “Royalty came to town and nothing changed!”

For those of us who have accepted Jesus as Savior, there was a day when royalty arrived—in our heart. As Paul put it, our body is “the temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19)—a reality that has huge ramifications. His residence in our life is intended to transform us to live in a way that brings glory to Him. Our relationships, the way we serve our employer, how we use our money, how we treat our enemies, and everything else in our lives should reflect the wonderful reality that royalty lives within.

Has anything changed since King Jesus came into your heart? Does your world notice or do they think He was just passing through?

By this shall every person know
That we serve God above:
His Spirit dwells within our hearts
And fills us with His love. —D. De Haan

If Jesus has taken up residence in us,
the world should notice a lasting change.

Read: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you . . . and you are not your own. —1 Corinthians 6:19

Bible in a year:
Exodus 34-35; Matthew 22:23-46

If its not too much trouble and there is a ping list here, please add my handle. I am not a veteran, one of my few regrets, both of my brothers and dad were vets and I have a profound respect for our service men and women from all branches. My brother Pat was KIA in SVN in 1968.

Ahhhh...Friday...and I am off! Yay! The weather is supposed
to be warmer. Maybe I can even want to get out of the house!

Great thread, Kathy...thanks for your hard work! Our troops rule!

[brushcop]

One again, thank your for such great posts and pix. I pour over them brought to tears knowing how little this administration supports them but am strengthened knowing that those that DO support them in so many ways are second to none.

We pray for their perseverance, strength, optimism, commitment to duty, safety and health both physically and mentally, to be sustained in faith, leaning on our Lord.

Thanks for a beautiful thread, Ma.
Good evening, Gang.
Rough shift tonight, and my RSD has flared up.
Lotsa pain tonite.
Could use a few hugs..

[Diver Dave]

Really Cool re-enlistment photo you presented tonight. Brought a smile and reflection back to my Navy diving daze.

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities

The DC Metroland weather report

~ Today... Mostly sunny this morning...Then becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 40s. South winds around 5 mph.

~ Tonight...Rain...Mainly after midnight. Lows in the lower 30s. Southeast winds around 5 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

Friday, yipeee!

Overall it was a pretty uneventful week in the office.

Can't say the same for other places around the world.

Hope and pray it calms down soon.

Which brings me to this: we really, really need to get out of depending on foreign oil. On the way to work I noticed a few gas stations have already jumped their price up by 5 cents this week alone.

All I can say is OUCH! It hurts me just to look at them.
Thank God I never felt the need to do something like that. LOL

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't leave the room...I'll be bock!

Remember, the Canteen is

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

REMEMBER THEM
