The Honor Of Following
While visiting Jerusalem, a friend of mine saw an old rabbi walking past the Wailing Wall. The interesting thing about the aged rabbi was the five young men walking behind him. They too were walking bent over, limpingjust like their rabbi. An Orthodox Jew watching them would know exactly why they were imitating their teacher. They were followers.
Throughout the history of Judaism, one of the most honored positions for a Jewish man was the privilege of becoming a follower of the local rabbi. Followers sat at the rabbis feet as he taught. They would study his words and watch how he acted and reacted to life and others. A follower would count it the highest honor to serve his rabbi in even the most menial tasks. And, because they admired their rabbi, they were determined to become like him.
When Jesus called His disciples to follow Him (Matt. 4:19), it was an invitation to be changed by Him, to become like Him, and to share His passion for those who need a Savior. The high honor of being His follower should show in our lives as well. We too have been called to catch the attention of the watching world as we talk, think, and act just like Jesusthe rabbi, the teacher, of our souls.
Thank You, Lord, for the high honor of being
called to follow You. May my life so imitate
You that others will know that You are the
pursuit of my life and the rabbi of my soul.
Follow Jesus and let the world know He is your rabbi.
In the region surrounding the Sea of Galilee in the first century, fishing was one of the primary industries. This fishing normally took place at night, with the laborious task of casting weighted fishing nets and then hauling them back in. Fishing was not an easy occupation, but it did provide a decent living and, as seen in todays text, was often operated as a family business. Here, two brothers, Peter and Andrew, worked together (v.18), as did James, John, and their father (v.21). In this case, however, these two families also had a partnership in their fishing business, as recorded in Luke 5:10. Jesus used this partnership to His advantage in calling these four men as disciples.

RIP to my father, 1924-2003.
A 3 war Marine and a true patriot who loved his country.
He may have retired 38 years earlier, but he was still a Marine the day he died.
I have his dog tags and his K bar framed and hanging on the wall and I think of him every time I walk by them.

Marines have been around a very long time. In his book “The Peloponnesian War”, Thucydides mentions Marines on Athenian ships.
I read a book about the siege of the European legations in Peking. One of the German soldiers was quoted as saying that when a U.S. Marine fired, a Chinese Boxer would die.
The Marines were using the 6MM Lee Navy rifle. The Germans were using the brand new 98 Mauser. They held out for 55 days before a combined European and Japanese relief column relieved the siege.

Woo-Hoo Marine Corps!
Thanks Ma for tonight's Canteen!
In 1976 some Marines were training at the same Ft. Sill, OK Field Artillery school I was attending. Man, those Marine DI's pushed those poor Marines, we heard that DI barking orders at 2:00 AM calling them out for formation, LOL, gotta love the Marine Corps!

I won't be around long.
Today is my day off and I'm heading out for a few hours.
Wanted to check in after the weekend to do roll call.
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
