BE HAPPY
"Don't worry. Be happy" I'm sure everyone has heard that song on the radio at one time or another. But I wonder if we ask ourselves, "Are we happy?" I don't mean that we should be constantly ecstatic or exuberant, but HAPPY full of that deep down inner contentment which persists even in the midst of trials and tribulations? Because we are the children of God, God is concerned and cares for us. Whatever our real needs, we can rest assured that God will fulfill them, albeit in His own time and accordance with His will. But we can live in thankfulness to God. We can allow His presence and peace to make us serene and secure in our relationship with Him. Whether we are rich or poor, on the mountain or in a deep valley, experience gladness and good health or sorrow and pain, He is walking beside us, helping us along our way. We are forever, and can celebrate our identity, as His sons and daughters. CAPT John W. Morrison, CHC, USN

Good evening, HJ...have a wonderful dinner with friends.
An old of the family just left. He lost his wife earlier this year and he and my Mom had lots of catching up to do. Made us even more thankful that my Dad had a reasonably quick road to passing.

Obedience Is Worship
June 9, 2013
While I was traveling with a chorale from a Christian high school, it was great to see the students praise God as they led in worship in the churches we visited. What happened away from church was even better to see. One day the group discovered that a woman had no money for gasand they spontaneously felt led by God to take up a collection. They were able to give her enough money for several tankfuls of gas.
Its one thing to worship and praise God at church; its quite another to move out into the real world and worship Him through daily obedience.
The students example causes us to think about our own lives. Do we confine our worship to church? Or do we continue to worship Him by obeying Him in our daily life, looking for opportunities to serve?
In 1 Samuel 15 we see that Saul was asked by the Lord to do a task; but when we review what he did (vv.20-21), we discover that he used worship (sacrifice) as an excuse for his failure to obey God. Gods response was, To obey is better than sacrifice (v.22).
Its good to be involved in worship at church. But lets also ask God to show us ways to continue to give Him the praise He deserves through our obedience.
Lord, I want my worship of You to extend beyond
the walls of my church. Help me to listen to
Your prompting and to serve others wherever
I canno matter what day it is.
Our worship should not be confined to times and places; it should be the spirit of our lives.
Read: 1 Samuel 15:13-23

To: All
Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord,
And teach out of Your law,
That You may give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
Psalm 94:12-15God bless our troops, and deliver our nation.
