A Life Of Honor
November 29, 2012
In 2010, my brothers and I celebrated our dads 90th birthday. We hosted an open house with great food and fellowship. In the living room, family and friends took up banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, and Irish drum to play and sing all afternoon. A big cake was prepared with this written on it in frosting: Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the LordPsalm 112:1. Happy 90th birthday, Hal.
When I later examined Psalm 112, I was impressed with how it seemed to describe my dadwho had walked with God for more than 50 years and is now at home with Him. Dad had his own share of heartaches and faults, but his steadfast faith resulted in much blessing. This psalm tells us that blessings will fall on the man who has a reverential fear of God and who delights in His commands. In response to this growing integrity and faith, God will extend blessing not only to the believer but also to his children (v.2).
This psalm challenges us to reflect an inner reverence for God and to make continual decisions to delight in following His commands. If we do that, then as we look back on our yearsno matter how many or how fewwe will know that God has helped us live a life of honor.
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey. Sammis
If you honor God in your heart, He will be honored by your life.
Read: Psalm 112

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
Cpl. Christopher M. Monahan, USMC, Combat Logistics Battalion 2, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, KIA Afghanistan 26Mov2012
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Aloha and good afternoon, Hawaii...((HUGS))
Crisis averted here. Co-worker printing a late check got everything ready, went to pick Printer for printing said check and she has no printers to choose. BIG problem! We checked and I had my full complement of printers so I printed the needed check. Then I reprinted to the different printer needed. All done now.
Any sun yet for you? A little warmer weather? It is just plain cold here.
