FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
Remember the Good Old Days? Sock Hops? Drive-in Movies? Buddy Holly? Or other things that made it Fabulous? You know, before cellphones? Come on in and share your memories. Or take a trip back in time.
Tonight well check out 1952. Despite the war in Korea Americans considered themselves to be prospering with average worker earning $3,400 per year, a college teacher could expect to earn $5,100 per year.
Three out of 5 families owned a car, 2 out of 3 families now had a telephone, 1 in 3 homes had a television. Average Cost of new house $9.050.00 Average wages per year $3,850.00 Average Cost of a new car $1,700.00 Fast Food restaurants were growing in popularity, Many more cars in America were now fitted with automatic gearboxes and gas cost 25 cents per gallon. the scourge of Polio hit many thousands of families ( 50,000 estimated )
Number One Hit March 9 May 10 1952 ~ Kay Starr - Wheel of Fortune ~ (click graphic) Arrowhead was born
Remember, the Canteen is a family friendly place. We welcome the military, our allies, and their families. Continued prayers for the success and completion of your mission. Prayers for your safe return home.

You Fool!
March 16, 2012
It seems to me rather contradictory that Jesus, who was so gentle at times (Matt. 19:13-15), would call some people fools. Yet, as recorded in the Gospels a number of times, our Lord used this derogatory term to describe those He spoke aboutespecially the Pharisees (see Matt. 23:17-19; Luke 11:39-40).
Jesus also used the word fool in a parable after warning a man about coveting (Luke 12:13-21). What made him foolish is not the fact that he built bigger barns to store his abundant harvest (vv.16-18). It would have been more foolish of him to leave it out in the fields where inclement weather would spoil it. Nor was he foolish because of his thought that this unexpected windfall was enough to last him a long time (v.19). After all, we are urged to follow the example of the ant in storing up the harvest (Prov. 6:6-8).
What made the man foolish? He left God out of the picture. He was called a fool because he failed to realize that his life was in Gods hands. While he was planning carefully for his comfortable life on earth, he failed to plan for eternity and store up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:20).
Does your plan for the future have God in it? You wont want to be called foolish by Him in the end.
Oh, why not turn while yet you may;
Too late, it soon will be
A glorious life you may possess
Throughout eternity. Anon.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. Jim Elliot
Read: Luke 12:16-21

Good evening, teen...*HUGS*...I think she gets up before the sun. Posting at this hour, from the right coast, is stretching her bedtime. LOL!
Hope you are doing well. We are set to surpass the old record for most snow in the next few days. *sigh* We are at 129 inches right now.
