Help Needed
February 23, 2012

During World War II, the British Isles represented the last line of resistance against the sweep of Nazi oppression in Europe. Under relentless attack and in danger of collapse, however, Britain lacked the resources to see the conflict through to victory. For that reason, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill went on BBC radio and appealed to the world: “Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.” He knew that without help from the outside, they could not endure the assault they were facing.

Life is like that. Often, we are inadequate for the troubles life throws at us, and we need help from outside of ourselves. As members of the body of Christ, that help can come at times from our Christian brothers and sisters (Rom. 12:10-13)—and that is a wonderful thing. Ultimately, however, we seek help from our heavenly Father. The good and great news is that our God has invited us to come confidently before Him: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16).

At such times, our greatest resource is prayer—for it brings us into the very presence of God. There we find, in His mercy and grace, the help we need.

God has given you His promise, That He hears and answers prayer, He will heed your supplication If you cast on Him your care. —Bernstecher

Don’t let prayer be your last recourse in time of need; make it your first.

Read: Hebrews 4:9-16

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. —Hebrews 4:16

Deuteronomy 23-25

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

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

Like WOW!
I want to take a moment to get on my soapbox...
I'm getting tired of the media and other TV/Movie personalities
(you know who you are)
using the word HERO so loosely.
Like sports, entertainment, scholarly (is that a word? LOL) figures
BUT
IMO, unless a person runs into a burning/falling/crashing building,
rushes toward a burning car, truck, or tank,
or jumps into a river to save another (or animal)
OR does the number of things we see here at the Canteen
they are NOT, I repeat, NOT a hero.
(ok...stepping down now)

~ Today...Partly sunny.
Highs around 70.
Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

~ Tonight... Mostly cloudy.
A chance of showers...Mainly in the evening.
Lows in the lower 50s.
Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph...
Becoming south after midnight.
Chance of rain 30 percent.

I'm excited about this touch of spring we're having.
Just hoping the wind doesn't knock limbs down on wires.

Making Z Zoup
A little of this...a little of that...

Thurgood Marshall was the first African-American
appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Murmansk, in Russia, is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle.

The first vending machines in the US dispensed chewing gum
and were installed in New York City
train platforms in 1888.

Twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago,
the Pentagon has three times the floor space
of the Empire State Building in New York.
It is one of the world's largest office buildings.

Chocolate manufacturers use 40 percent of the world's almonds.

I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
