The Prince Of Peace
January 31, 2012
Years ago I came to know a young man who rode with a motorcycle gang. He had grown up on a mission field where his parents served. When his family returned to the US, he seemed unable to adjust to life. He lived a troubled existence and was killed in a street fight with a rival gang.
Ive helped at many funeral services, but this was by far the most memorable. It was held in a park where there is a natural grassy bowl surrounding a small lake. His friends parked their bikes in a circle and sat on the grass around a friend and me while we conducted the service. We spoke simply and briefly about peace among warring factions and the inner peace that Jesus love can bring.
Afterward, a motorcycle gang member thanked us, started to walk away, but then turned back. Ive never forgotten his words. He said that he had a putt, a pad, and an old lady (a bike, apartment, and girlfriend), and then added, But I aint got no peace. So we talked about Jesus who is our peace.
Whether weve got a chopper or a Cadillac, a mansion or a tiny apartment, a loved one or no oneit makes no difference. Without Jesus, there is no peace. He said, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you (John 14:27). This gift is for all who trust in Him. Have you asked for His peace?
Lord, I want to have peace in my life.
To be at peace with You, with others, and with myself.
Your Word says that comes from You.
Please give me Your gift of peace. Amen.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.
Read: John 14:25-31
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.
John 14:27

Technically, the term “AMTRAK railroad” is a bit too loose. It should be referred to as “Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (ex-Pennsylvania RR)”.

Great place in town called the Musical Inn, best crabcake subs in the world. Lady who made them was as wide as she was tall and had a better 'stache than me.

I live about a mile from the main gate. I just moved to the state a couple years ago. Aberdeen is far from my office but affordable and pretty quiet. My boys enjoy the booms that rattle the windows.

Thanks Kathy. You keep following me around! During my work career, I have been at Aberdeen, WSMR, Kirtland AFB, Ft. Bliss, China Lake and I was born at Davis Monthan AFB. Once you have Redstone Arsenal and Arnold AFS, that will be it. Thank you so much for your efforts reminding us how great our beloved county is! I attended a speech by LTG Gerald Boykin (USA Ret.) last night. He stressed that if we don’t stand up and fight for our American Heritage, we are going to lose it. Thank you so much for reminding us about our true National Heroes.
