Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
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)

An unusual list called The 100 Least Powerful People in the World appeared in the online publication 24/7 Wall St. Among those selected were corporate executives, sports figures, politicians, and celebrities who shared one common characteristic—they used to be powerful. Some were victims of circumstances, others made poor business decisions, while others lost their influence because of moral failure.
In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul draws a somber lesson from Old Testament history. The people Moses led from slavery in Egypt toward freedom in the Promised Land kept turning their backs on God who had delivered them (vv.1-5). Idolatry, immorality, and grumbling were among the things that brought them down (vv.6-10). Paul points to their collapse as an example to us, and sounds this warning: “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (v.12).
Every follower of Jesus can stand firm on God’s promise: “He will see to it that every temptation has a way out, so that it will never be impossible for you to bear it” (v.13 Phillips). All of us have power to influence others in their faith. How tragic to squander it by yielding to a temptation that God has empowered us to resist.
Read: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

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.
For what it’s worth, I really appreciate these threads. I don’t comment but enjoy them thoroughly.
They take me back. Every veteran knows what I’m talking about.
The smell of slightly moldy canvas and diesel exhaust. The sound of a tent flapping in the wind and the reliable hum of a generator. The flat texture of CARC paint and dull pinch on your thumb from loading rounds into your magazines.
I miss it...
Off to Scout Dist Meeting.
In for a few...
Nice to see that my favorite Yogi Berra-ism is part of your list: “You can observe a lot just by watching.”
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
(thanks unique1 for graphics)

Will be leaving shortly to do a few chores
before heading to Richmond to pick up
granddaughter from college so that she can
go with us to NJ on Saturday.
But, hey, Monday is a holiday and I will be able
to stick around a little longer.
Right now I need to make my rounds.
Get in a few hellos before I have to sign off.
But, you stay right where you are.
Don't leave the room...I'll be bock!
Remember, the Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM - DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
