Misplaced Love
March 20, 2014

Read: Psalm 115

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. —Psalm 115:4

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 4-6; Luke 1:1-20

Martin Lindstrom, an author and speaker, thinks that cellphones have become akin to a best friend for many owners. Lindstrom’s experiment using an MRI helped him discover why. When the subjects saw or heard their phone ringing, their brains fired off neurons in the area associated with feelings of love and compassion. Lindstrom said, “It was as if they were in the presence of a girlfriend, boyfriend, or family member.”

Many things vie for our affection and time and attention, and it seems we’re always needing to evaluate where we’re focusing our lives. Joshua told the people of Israel that they were to give their affection and worship to God alone (Josh. 24:14). This was significant in contrast to the idols worshiped by the nations around them. These idols were made of metal and were only the work of men’s hands (Ps. 115:4). They were totally powerless compared to the Lord. Therefore, God’s people were exhorted to find their security in Him and not in other gods (Judg. 10:13-16). Jesus reiterated this in His discussion of the commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:37).

The Lord alone is our help and shield (Ps. 115:9). May we reserve our worship for Him.

For Further Thought
What do our actions in the last few months reveal
about our affections? Is there any indication that we
have placed someone or something above God?

God is most worthy of our affections.

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.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good Evening To The Canteen

We Never Forget Our Troops


~Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country~

[beachn4fun]

WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Thanks for another big picture of what the military does.

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...

Hell’s Canyon on the Snake River
is deeper than the Grand Canyon.

Since housecats are clean and their coats are dry and glossy,
their fur easily becomes charged with electricity.
Sparks can be seen if their fur is rubbed in the dark.

The State of Nevada first legalized gambling in 1931.
At that same time, the Hoover Dam was being built
and the federal government did not want its workers
(who earned 50 cents an hour)
to be involved with such diversions,
so they built the town of Boulder City to house the dam workers.
To this day, Boulder City is the only city
in Nevada where gambling is illegal.
Hoover Dam is 726 feet tall and 660 feet thick at its base.
Enough rock was excavated in its construction
to build the Great Wall of China.
Contrary to old wives' tales,
no workers were buried in the dam's concrete.

A camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight
in perspiration and continue to cross the desert.
A human would die of heat shock
after sweating away only 12 percent of body weight.

The South Pole is actually a desert environment,
averaging about the same amount of monthly rainfall as
the Sahara Desert.

Lightning kills more people in the US
than any other natural disaster:
an average of 400 dead and 1,000 injured yearly.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
