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 Ironsides," 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.

The thrills that other people seek don't really hold much appeal for you. Bungee jumping? Skydiving? No thanks!
You prefer to stay with what's tried and true. There's a reason why you love your old favorites so much.

And while you aren't typically adventurous, you're probably adventurous in ways that go unnoticed.
Maybe you read voraciously - or watch a lot of independent films. You get your thrills in a more peaceful, sustainable way.

Am I adventurous?

Not anymore. I had 20 years of adventure.

~ You Are Extremely Adventurous ~

You are adventurous to the point of being reckless. You need to keep your adrenaline pumping. You have a playful approach to life, and you get a lot of joy from taking risks. You like to life in the moment.

Like most adventurous people, you get bored easily whenever you are between thrills. Try to find adventure in everyday life. Eat a new meal or make a new friend. That will hold you over until your next big fun experience

~ Hmmm, Well Now ~

Wrist still giving problems but doc sez the cast will be off in a few days.

You Are Adventurous
You are quite adventurous and brave, but you are also reasonable about it. You don't have to be on an adventure 24/7.
You have good judgment and balance. You like to try new and exciting things, but you also pay attention to risk.

You're not the type of person who would throw your life away just to go on a new trip or have a new romantic partner.
You like your thrills in small, safe doses. You are gutsy in all aspects of your life from career to relationships.

You prefer to travel...around the world or around the country...especially with FRiends!!

Keep It Simple

April 10, 2013

James Madison, fourth president of the United States, was instrumental in the drafting of the US constitution. He warned against creating laws “so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.” Based on some of the complicated government forms I’ve read, that’s advice that still needs to be heeded a little more often!

Sometimes when sharing the gospel, we make it more complicated than it needs to be. We can be glad that the Bible presents the good news of salvation in clear, easily understood language. Jesus said to Nicodemus, an educated Pharisee, that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He later said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (14:6). The apostle Paul said it in straightforward language to the jailor in Philippi who asked how to be saved: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).

God’s precious love story is simple. He sent His Son to rescue us from sin and death. Wonderful news that even children can understand.

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word;
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard. —Crosby
Through faith in Christ, we receive God’s pardon and escape sin’s penalty.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:12-14

We are not writing any other things to you than what you [can] read or understand. —2 Corinthians 1:13
Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 10:25-42
