~ Hi All! ~

Well Lookie What I Am ~

You can process bad news well. You are well prepared for life's ups and downs. You're very restless and bored easily. You get antsy easily... you need to wander.

You are both optimistic and philosophical about life. You often need space to think things through. You are a very warm and welcoming person. You have a kind and compassionate heart.

You Are Proper

You are cautious and guarded. Whenever possible, you choose restraint and moderation.
You find getting caught up in details to be a waste of your time. You focus on the big picture instead.

You pride yourself on being detail oriented. You never forget about anyone or anything.
You are tactful and polite. You are well bred enough not to offend anyone.

Out of the four bowls they showed I picked the cornflakes and got deemed Proper.

[Semper Mark]

You Are Dramatic

You are energetic to the point of being impatient. You can't wait for life to happen.
You are naturally competitive - both with others and with yourself. You love to win.

You are hard working, but you aren't a miser about it. You seek life balance.
You are very intense and relentless. Your friends have accused you of being one-track.

Remembering The Reason
July 24, 2012

Joe Morris flavors his ice cream with ingredients ranging from chocolate and strawberries to green tea and dried chipotle peppers. He’s one of three ice-cream makers for a successful Texas company known for its quality, creativity, and innovation. But Joe hasn’t forgotten why he does it.

He told reporter Ricardo Gándara that one of the longtime employees always reminded them, “Why are we making ice cream? It’s a happy food. We’re here to make people happy.” And that’s why Joe Morris makes ice cream.

We know that it’s extremely important to remember the reason for what we do as followers of Jesus. If we forget, we become like the disciples when a dispute over who was most important created anger and division among them. Jesus reminded them that “even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:35-45).

If our goal is to share the good news of God’s love with others, we won’t become impersonal or harsh if someone resists or ridicules our appeal. As we follow our Lord’s path of loving service and sacrifice, we are reminded that He came to serve and save.

That’s the reason for everything we do.

He whose right was heaven’s glory
Chose to serve on earth below,
Leaving us a clear example
Of the love He’d have us show. —D. De Haan

Keep your eyes on the Lord, and you won’t lose sight of life’s purpose.

Read: Mark 10:35-45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. —Mark 10:45

You Are Responsible

People can count on you. You take duties and responsibilities seriously.
You are easily delighted and inspired. Life is all about the little things.

You can be unforgiving toward people who fail you. You have high, but not unreasonable, expectations.
You're very picky but extremely devoted to the one you choose. You fall in love selectively.

Wow, look at the time!

Reckon I'd better call it a night.

WELCOME TO THE

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

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Sunny.
Highs in the mid 80s.
North winds 5 to 10 mph... Becoming northwest in the afternoon.

~ Tonight...Mostly clear in the evening...
Then becoming partly cloudy.
Lows in the upper 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph.

Seems we'll get a teeny, tiny break in the weather
before the next round.
Oh well don't want to complain
because before we know it
it'll be winter and we'll be shoveling snow. UGH!
Although Ma likes that stuff.

Gotta make my rounds before it gets too busy here.

But, please 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,
and plain old BS

You know, we use the word “predator” a bit too liberally these days. More often than not most of the the “wolves” we are faced with anymore aren’t predators at all, they’re scavengers. They won’t mess with anything that’ll fight back. There are some true predatory animals out there, and they truly hunt, but for the most part I think that most of these idiots are looking for the path of least resistance. They don’t want to get dirty. “We’ll rob the old lady”, “Let’s abduct a kid”. A defensless target is an easy target, right? The solution for that is simple, refuse to be food. For the other, the true predator, the solution isn’t so simple. They are hunters. They stalk, they lay in wait. They kill. Those are the ones that will let you know that you’ve got a fight on your hands. Not fighting to get away, but fighting to get to you. All the posturing in the world won’t change their mind. You have to understand going into it that there will only be one left standing. Who will it be? You, or them? Maybe it is as simple as it seems...Victory, or nothing.
