Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Steve was just an ordinary guy. He quietly served in a church I attended years ago. He helped prepare communion, shoveled the church sidewalks in the winter, and mowed the lawn in the summer. He spent time with teenage boys who had no fathers in the home. I often heard him telling people at church in his quiet way how good the Lord was to him. During prayer meeting he didn’t talk much about himself but would ask us to pray for those he was telling about Jesus’ forgiveness and love.
A verse in John 10 about John the Baptist makes me think of Steve. People said of him: “John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man [Jesus] were true” (v.41). John didn’t perform miracles as Jesus did. He didn’t talk about himself but came to “bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe” (1:7). He said of Jesus, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (1:29). My friend Steve bore witness of that Light as well.
Our aim, as followers of Jesus, is to do the same—to “bear witness of the Light.” We’re just ordinary people, serving God in our little corner of the world. With our quiet deeds and words, let’s point others to the Light!

| You Are a Half-Hug |
 You are always appropriate and professional. You never overstep any boundaries. You are a bit reserved and hesitant. You like to assess situations before you act.* You handle attention with grace and class. You are popular simply because you're so likable. |
| You Are a Group Hug |
 In your group of friends, you are the fascinating one. You always have an amazing story to tell. You believe that the world, people, and life are incredibly fascinating. cYou are a complete flirt, but all of your play is harmless fun. You don't flirt seriously. |
| You Are a Bear Hug |
 You are optimistic and bright. You have a self-fulfilling sunny outlook on life. You tend to overwhelm people with your energy. It's impossible for you to hold back. You love your friends and family more than anything else in this world. And you always let them know. You are a childlike person who values adventure. You believe life is magical. And you're proud to stand up for the United States of America! Hurrah for the Land of the Free and the Troops who serve Her!!! |

It called me a half-hug. :(

| You Are a Comforting Hug |
 You are naturally empathetic. You wouldn't know how to stop relating to people, even if you wanted to. You are truly caring. You show you care by dropping everything to help. In relationships, you are a loyal partner - but you also value your space. Absence makes your heart grow fonder. |

Didn't particularly like some of the choices on this one.
So, the answer is suspect.
Time to move on.
Get in my hellos before work interferes.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.
The Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
