I'll be able to hang around for a while because I won't be here in the morning. Mr. Beachy and I are off work and will be contributing to the economy.

Risks and Rescue
August 30, 2013
On September 7, 1838, Grace Darling, the daughter of an English lighthouse keeper, spotted a shipwreck and survivors offshore. Together, she and her father courageously rowed their boat a mile through rough waters to rescue several people. Grace became a legend for her compassionate heart and steady hand in risking her life to rescue others.
The apostle Paul tells us of another man and woman team who took risks to rescue others. He wrote about Priscilla and Aquila, his fellow workers in Christ, who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles (Rom. 16:3-4).
We are not told exactly what risk Paul was referring to, but with beatings, imprisonment, shipwrecks, and threats of death so common to Pauls ministry, its not hard to see how this couple could have put themselves in harms way to help their friend. Apparently, Pauls rescue was more important to them than their own safety.
Rescuing otherswhether from physical or spiritual dangeroften carries a risk. But when we take a risk by reaching out to others, we reflect the heart of our Savior who gave up so much for us.
The hand of God protects our way
When we would do His will;
And even when we take a risk,
We know Hes with us still. D. DeHaan
When youve been rescued, youll want to rescue others.
Read: Romans 16:1-7

When you board a naval vessel, do you salute the officer of the deck first and then the flag? Or is it the other way around?
I was Army, so I'm culturally deprived.

Good evening, Maestro! The protocol is first to salute the Colors, then to salute the OOD, then to request permission to come aboard.
090724-N-0167W-004 BOSTON, Mass. (July 24, 2009) Cmdr. Timothy M. Cooper salutes his side boys as he arrives to relieve Cmdr. William A. Bullard, III as commanding officer of USS Constitution. Cooper transferred from the position of Director of the Distributed Training Center Atlantic before assuming command of Old Ironsides as the ship's 71st commanding officer. Bullard's follow-on command is a temporary assignment as a student at the Naval War College. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Clay Weis/Released)
