The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
All packed up. Stuff headed North. Still need to close on house and final out the base.
In Revelation 5, the apostle John portrays Jesus, the Lion of Judah (v.5), as a wounded Lamb (v.6). Referring to this word picture, preacher Charles Spurgeon asked, Why should our exalted Lord appear in His wounds in glory? His reply: The wounds of Jesus are His glory.
Typically, the symbol of a lamb does not represent power and victory. Most people prefer symbols of strength that invite admiration. Yet God chose to be incarnated as a baby born into a poor carpenters home. He lived as an itinerant preacher and died as a lamb to the slaughter (Isa. 53:7) on a Roman cross. Everyone, including His disciples, thought that His crucifixion spelled the end of the One who had dared to defy the established religious order of His day. But when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He demonstrated mightily Gods incomparable power and glory.
The day is coming when Jesus will return in glory to rule what is rightfully His. On that day, all will bow before Him and say, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing! (Rev. 5:12). Jesus, the Lamb who is also the Lion, deserves our praise!
Read: Revelation 5:1-12
Anchorage got their first good rain since breakup....we had about 18 hours of nice rain.
Hope closing goes well, quickly, and on time. Be safe!
Heard on the radio today that the Alcan Highway was reopened after a several day closure because of a washout.
Off for home...no errands tonight. Back shortly.
