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.

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)

A Small Sacrifice
February 13, 2013

As we anticipate the coming celebration of Easter, I begin thinking about the sacrifice Jesus made so that I could be reconciled to God. To help me focus on all that He gave up for me, I make a small sacrifice of my own. When I fast from something I normally enjoy, every craving for that food or drink or pastime reminds me of how much more Jesus gave up for me.

Because I want to be successful, I tend to give up something that isn’t a big temptation for me. Yet even then I fail. My inability to be perfect in such a small thing reminds me of why Easter is so important. If we could be perfect, Jesus would not have had to die.

The rich young man whom Jesus encountered along a Judean road was trying to earn eternal life by being good. But Jesus, knowing the man could never be good enough, said, “With men [salvation] is impossible, but not with God” (Mark 10:27).

Although giving up something does not make anyone good, it does remind us that no one is good except God (v.18). And that’s important to remember, for it is the sacrifice of a good and perfect God that makes our salvation possible.

I gave My life for thee;
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might ransomed be
And quickened from the dead. —Havergal

Jesus sacrificed His life for ours.

Read: Mark 10:17-27

With God all things are possible. —Mark 10:27

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 14; Matthew 26:51-75

I am giving my wife the gift of love. She just applied for her carry license and wanted a pistol to carry. She is getting a Ruger LCP in .380 APC, with a single red rose in the barrel and a personally written card with a dinner prepared by me on Friday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Permission Granted!

[ConorMacNessa]

That's great, ConservativeInPA! I actually managed to get a gift for my Sweetie-Pie before the day! And I'll cook our traditional Scampi for dinner Thursday evening.

You Should Get a New Laptop
(or tablet!)

(FINALLY!! One that suits me perfectly! LOL)

Let's be honest... you're not exactly the most romantic person in the world. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Flowers, chocolates, and stuffed animals don't really do it for you. Your eyes only light up for a new toy.

You are a bit of a geek, and traditional romance just isn't a priority for you. You find somewhat unusual things romantic.
You'd prefer a laptop to an expensive piece of jewelry. At least you'd actually use the laptop!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Hawaii...((HUGS))

Are you ever gonna get some sun? They tell us more snow, but temps at 32.
