Tough little ship.
Really tough captain and crew.
Read: Matthew 6:1-7
One winter night composer Johann Sebastian Bach was scheduled to debut a new composition. He arrived at the church expecting it to be full. Instead, he learned that no one had come. Without missing a beat, Bach told his musicians that they would still perform as planned. They took their places, Bach raised his baton, and soon the empty church was filled with magnificent music.
This story made me do some soul-searching. Would I write if God were my only audience? How would my writing be different?
New writers are often advised to visualize one person they are writing to as a way of staying focused. I do this when I write devotionals; I try to keep readers in mind because I want to say something they will want to read and that will help them on their spiritual journey.
I doubt that the devotional writer David, whose psalms we turn to for comfort and encouragement, had readers in mind. The only audience he had in mind was God.
Whether our deeds, mentioned in Matthew 6, are works of art or acts of service, we should keep in mind that theyre really between us and God. Whether or not anyone else sees does not matter. He is our audience.
Evening, Kathy! How was your weekend?
What a great legacy this ship had! Lots of heroes to salute who were part of her history!
Thanks, Galz, for letting us hear about a great warship!
Indeed so Kathy. Tonk would have loved this Thread.
Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
What a wonderful story.
And how gallant of the Germans to help afterwards.
See, men can be kind when they have a mind to!
(mean no disrespect to most men)
I have a terrible case of heartburn.
I had to go back to the office.
LOL.
Just have to keep reminding myself that it pays the bills.
First day back, so I'll be in lurker node.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
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
