As I was doing my BCT (and AIT) at Ft Knox in ‘69 it never occurred to me that General Patton had served there perhaps 30 years earlier.Looking back on it now I find that fact pretty cool.

A Heart of Compassion
April 3, 2017
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12
Seven of us were attending a musical production at a crowded amusement park. Wanting to sit together, we tried to squeeze into one row. But as we did, a woman rushed between us. My wife mentioned to her that we wanted to stay together, but the woman quickly said, Too bad, as she and her two companions pushed on into the row.
As three of us sat one row behind the other four, my wife, Sue, noticed that the woman had an adult with her who appeared to have special needs. She had been trying to keep her little group together so she could take care of her friend. Suddenly, our irritation faded. Sue said, Imagine how tough things are for her in a crowded place like this. Yes, perhaps the woman did respond rudely. But we could respond with compassion rather than anger.
Wherever we go, we will encounter people who need compassion. Perhaps these words from the apostle Paul can help us view everyone around us in a different lightas people who need the gentle touch of grace. As Gods chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Col. 3:12). He also suggests that we bear with each other and forgive one another (v. 13).
As we show compassion, we will be pointing others to the One who poured out His heart of grace and compassion on us.
Your compassions never fail, Father. May we mirror Your heart by showing compassion to others.
Compassion is understanding the troubles of others.
Compassion is not just feeling pity for a needy person; our emotions must move us to relieve the misery of that person. The apostle Paul calls us to be kind and compassionate to one another (Eph. 4:32) and to follow Gods example (5:1). Jesus commands us to be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate (Luke 6:36 nlt). In one of the greatest self-revelations in the Bible, God described Himself as the compassionate and gracious God (Ex. 34:6). We echo with the apostle James, The Lord is full of compassion and mercy (James 5:11).
Imagine a world without compassion. What would it be like? How is showing compassion essential for Gods children?

Patton almost had to be a great general. Both his Grandfathers were Confederate officers. One a General and the other a Colonel.
His family in California often had a famous house guest who taught the young Patton about unconventional warfare. John S. Mosby was probably the most successful “Partisan Ranger” ever.

I attended a wedding at an Episcopal church in Hamilton, MA.
Carved into the wood paneling at the back were the names of parishioners that served in WWII.
In large letters, at the top of the list, was Patton. (And in much smaller lettered list, the then-FIL...)
To: Publius
Good evening, Publius, and thanks for the link to Patton’s speech.

Massachusetts? I wonder if he was ever posted to Fort Devens.And if he was I don't know how far Hamiliton is from Ayer.

My son has been using these last few weekends he has left in Germany to do some travelling before he returns to the states. He went to Luxembourg to see Patton’s grave then to Dunkirk and Juno Beach. I’m not sure where he is headed to next on his road trip.

Good evening, Mooch....we really need a Patton now. He would get things back in shape, and no PC either. d:o)
Has spring made it to you? It’s trying here, but still freezing at night.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Really good message today....things aren’t always what they seem at first glance.
Are you ready to take on the new week?
