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)

Hi Kathy!
The little boy apparently treasured his drum.
A lot of people don’t realize that General McClellan nearly captured Richmond early in the war.
He was only stopped when Robert E. Lee was appointed commander of The Army of Northern Virginia. He immediately began a series of fierce and costly but necessary attacks, driving Little Mac back down the peninsula.
Heroes come in all sorts of size, color and age. I am again short of words.
Thanks, mountainlion, for the heads up on this young hero.
While my son was home for an extended visit, he knocked on my office door one morning and asked me what I was doing. “I’m preparing for Sunday school,” I told him. Then, thinking about all the time I spend in my office, I said, “It seems like I’m always preparing for something.”
I’m grateful for the opportunities God gives me to reach out to others. There’s some stress, though, when you’re always getting something ready for somebody. It’s hard to balance priorities with the pressure to prepare a lesson, a message, or a document continually on your mind.
This idea of constant preparation intrigued me, so I checked the Bible to see if it talks about the subject. I found that we are called to always be preparing. A heart dedicated to God must be prepared to serve Him (1 Sam. 7:3). We are to be ready to do good works (2 Tim. 2:21) and to defend scriptural truth (1 Peter 3:15). And Paul reminds us that even our giving takes planning (2 Cor. 9:5).
That’s just a start. Living a life that pleases the Lord takes mental, spiritual, and physical preparation. But we don’t need to stress, because He will enable us with His power. Let’s ask God to guide us as we prepare to serve, honor, and tell others about Him.
Read: 2 Timothy 2:19-26
My goodness, Galz! This is quite a story! Seems like patriotism can’t start too early! God rest his soul!
Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Ok, as a mother whose son went into the Marine Corp. at 21,
and being a total wreck about it
I can't imagine how Willie's mother felt
when he went into battle zone at 11.

Another busy weekend.
However, this weekend, except for Mother's Day on Sunday,
we don't have roads to run.
They're calling for rain this weekend
but if it doesn't I'll try to get some flowers planted.
Now I need to make my rounds and get to work.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
The FR Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
