Me And Dad
March 5, 2014

Read: Matthew 9:35–10:1

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. —Genesis 2:15

Bible in a Year:
Numbers 34-36; Mark 9:30-50

A friend once spent a day installing large stone steps in his backyard. When his 5-year-old daughter begged to help, he suggested she just sing to encourage him in his work. She said no. She wanted to help. Carefully, when it would not endanger her, he let her place her hands on the rocks as he moved them.

He could have built the steps in less time without her. At the end of the day, though, he not only had new steps but also a daughter bursting with pride. “Me and Dad made steps,” she announced at dinner that night.

From the beginning, God has relied on people to advance His work. After equipping Adam to cultivate the land and supervise the animals, God left the work of the garden in his hands (Gen. 2:15-20).

The pattern has continued. When God wanted a dwelling place on earth, a tabernacle and temple did not descend from the sky; thousands of artists and craftsmen worked to fashion them (Ex. 35–38; 1 Kings 6). When Jesus proclaimed the new reign of God’s kingdom on earth, He invited human beings to help. He told His disciples, “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matt. 9:38).

As a father does with his children, so does God welcome us as His kingdom partners.

Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your love
and wisdom, You invite us to accomplish Your acts
of love, service, and kindness here on earth.
Thank You for the privilege of “helping” You.

God uses humble servants to accomplish His great work.

You got 10/10 correct.

You've got a pretty good handle on US geography.
There's a good chance you've visited at least a dozen of the fifty states.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[SoothingDave]

That was the easiest quiz ever. Every answer was the same.

[Pollster1]

Trivia not on the quiz:

Which state is the farthest north?
Farthest south?
Farthest east?
Farthest west?

At least some of the answers will surprise many people, even here on FR.

10/10, but I’ve been to nearly all 57. BTT

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I scored a perfect 10 of 10! I’ll admit I did have to guess on a couple of them, though.

And the blurb about “you must have visited at least a dozen of the 50 states” is true. I’ve visited fifteen of them.

As a side note, when my wife and I got married it was on a trip to Topeka, KS, where I competed in the SCCA Solo National Championships for the first time. She kept track of how many different states we had kissed in. :)

[ClearCase_guy]

10 for 10.

I was thinking there would be 57 questions ...

Sgt. Troy A. McGill, USA (MOH)



From Today in U.S. Military History:

4 March 1944 - Los Negros Islands, Admiralty Group

Citation: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy at Los Negros Island, Admiralty Group, on 4 March 1944. In the early morning hours Sgt. McGill, with a squad of 8 men, occupied a revetment which bore the brunt of a furious attack by approximately 200 drink-crazed enemy troops. Although covered by crossfire from machineguns on the right and left flank he could receive no support from the remainder of our troops stationed at his rear. All members of the squad were killed or wounded except Sgt. McGill and another man, whom he ordered to return to the next revetment. Courageously resolved to hold his position at all cost, he fired his weapon until it ceased to function. Then, with the enemy only 5 yards away, he charged from his foxhole in the face of certain death and clubbed the enemy with his rifle in hand-to-hand combat until he was killed. At dawn 105 enemy dead were found around his position. Sgt. McGill’s intrepid stand was an inspiration to his comrades and a decisive factor in the defeat of a fanatical enemy."
