REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather “Old Ironside,” remained open for free public tours. At 210-years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

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)

Rescued

January 31, 2013

Manuel Gonzalez was the first rescue worker to reach the 33 miners trapped for 69 days in a Chilean mine explosion in 2010. At great risk to his own life, he went underground more than 2,000 feet to bring the trapped men back to the surface. The world watched in amazement as one by one each miner was rescued and transported to freedom.

The Bible tells us of an even more amazing rescue. Because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, all of mankind is trapped in sin (Gen. 2:17; 3:6,19; Rom. 5:12). Unable to break free, everyone faces certain death—physically and eternally. But God has provided a Rescuer—Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Everyone who accepts the free gift of salvation offered through His death and resurrection is freed from sin’s grip and its resulting death penalty (Rom. 5:8-11; 10:9-11; Eph. 2:1-10).

Jesus Christ is the “firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). He was the first to be raised from the dead, never to die again. Likewise, all will be given life who put their faith in Christ (Rom. 8:11).

Are you still trapped in your sins? Accept Jesus’ gift of salvation and enjoy the freedom of life in Christ and eternity with Him (Acts 16:31; Eph. 2:1; Col. 2:13).

Thinking It Over
What keeps you from calling out to God for spiritual
rescue? Do you fear that you are too bad for God’s
grace? Read and think about Romans 3:23-26.
Through His cross, Jesus rescues and redeems.

Read: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 20-25

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. —Acts 16:31
Bible in a Year:
Exodus 25-26; Matthew 20:17-34

God bless all of you. Each and every one.

“We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

I’m too old to actively participate but I do appreciate those young, rough men that let me and my family sleep.

Know you, enemies of my country, if you come to our shores I’ll limp out and do what I can. And that will be more than enough to push you back into the sea.

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO THE

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

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities
Another nice visit with the troops.
God bless 'em all.

DC METROLAND WEATHER

~ Today...Windy with a mix of clouds and sun.
High 46F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph.
Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

~ Tonight...Mostly clear skies this evening.
A few snow showers developing late.
Low around 30F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph.
Chance of snow 30%.

Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...stir it around...

Nero and Henry VIII were both
relatively good rulers when they assumed power,
but both became bloodstained tyrants.
Each killed a philosopher who had been a good influence:
Nero compelled Seneca to commit suicide
and Henry ordered Thomas Moore beheaded..

There was a time that the Vatican
owned shares of the Watergate complex in Washington D.C.,
the Pan American building in Paris,
and the Hilton hotel in Rome.

Henry Waterman invented the modern elevator in 1850.
He intended it to transport barrels of flour.

Sir Isaac Brock, the hero of the War of 1812,
was buried four separate times.
He was first buried in a fort,
then in the old Brock monument,
then in a temporary grave after that monument was damaged
in an explosion, and finally laid to rest
under the current Brock Monument.

Hair grows slowest at night.
It speeds up in the morning,
slows in the afternoon,
nd grows faster again in the evening.
Hair grows faster in summer than in winter.

Woke up around 11:30 last night to find the power out.
Went back to bed and woke up around 1:30 to discover it back on.
Needless to say that I am tired.
Going to leave early today, so this will be a post and run.
Move into lurker mode and will watch for pings.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
