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.

Hubble, Zoos, And Singing Children
October 1, 2013

What do the Hubble Space Telescope, a zoo, and singing children have in common? According to the teaching of Psalm 148, we could conclude that they all point to God’s magnificent creation.

The idea that God created our world is often questioned, so perhaps it’s a good time for a reminder of the praise we and all creation should heap on our heavenly Father for His magnificent handiwork.

Hubble can help us with that through its eye-popping pictures of our universe. Every one of those brilliant photos points to stars that focus attention on God’s creative majesty. “Praise Him, all you stars of light!” says verse 3.

A visit to a zoo points us to the great diversity of wildlife God created. We look at verses 7 and 10 and say thank you to God for sea creatures, wild animals, insects, and birds.

And a few minutes of watching little children singing uninhibited praises to God symbolizes the truth that all people of earth should lift their voices in honor of our Creator (vv.11-13).

Stars, animals, and children: “Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted” (v.13). Let’s join in saying thanks for His creation. “Praise the Lord!”

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration! —Neander

Creation displays God’s power.

Read: Psalm 148

Praise Him, all you stars of light! —Psalm 148:3

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 11-13; Ephesians 4

Safely picked up and at home,thanks! The morning commute was easy. The afternoon commute was long by virtue of the airport diversion - I had a 40 minute sit-down in the Airport Cell Phone Waiting Lot - her flight was 20 minutes late arriving and she had checked baggage.

We had a smooth ride home with the exception of a couple of miles on the GW Parkway and the Capital Beltway.

It's great to have her home - She'll be living and working in D.C., but we will have a chance for her to sing at Choir this Sunday. I'm sure she will get an enthusiastic reception when she shows up at Rehearsal this Thursday.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!
