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.

Crying Out To God
February 15, 2013

After all these years, I still don’t fully understand prayer. It’s something of a mystery to me. But one thing I know: When we’re in desperate need, prayer springs naturally from our lips and from the deepest level of our hearts.

When we’re frightened out of our wits, when we’re pushed beyond our limits, when we’re pulled out of our comfort zones, when our well-being is challenged and endangered, we reflexively and involuntarily resort to prayer. “Help, Lord!” is our natural cry.

Author Eugene Peterson wrote: “The language of prayer is forged in the crucible of trouble. When we can’t help ourselves and call for help, when we don’t like where we are and want out, when we don’t like who we are and want a change, we use primal language, and this language becomes the root language of prayer.”

Prayer begins in trouble, and it continues because we’re always in trouble at some level. It requires no special preparation, no precise vocabulary, no appropriate posture. It springs from us in the face of necessity and, in time, becomes our habitual response to every issue—good and bad—we face in this life (Phil. 4:6). What a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer!

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer. —Scriven

God’s help is only a prayer away.

Read: Psalm 142

By prayer and supplication . . . let your requests be made known to God. —Philippians 4:6

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 17-18; Matthew 27:27-50

[MoochPooch]

Funny, this morning I was just thinking about ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT. I liked PURPLE HEART, CAINE MUTINY, GREAT ESCAPE — quite a few, interestingly. There are many I’d still like to see — mostly older ones, which were at least respectful of the military.

[real saxophonist]

Well, The Pacific.

That's not a movie.

Okay, The D.I.

That's not a war movie.

Okay, Full Metal Jacket.

Okay, half war...

Enough! The D.I., dammit!

Rodriguez! If you were comepletely surrounded this morning by a force of 500 men, what would you do?

Kill 'em, Sir!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep tight, beachy...((HUGS))

Having major issues with FR...I will persevere.

No list of movies (especially old ones) telling the story of valor in combat should exclude "The Bridges at Toko-Ri"

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
