It doesn’t say, but she sounds devoutly Christian too. The heart is obvious.

Lots of Engineers built up the infrastructure in Viet Nam. There were many projects not closely related to military that were completed. The Military is not all destruction.
January 30 this year will be the 50th anniversary of TET 68.

Good evening, mountainlion...so, so true about the many talents our military men and women possess.
Do you have winter again? We have had 2 days above freezing, but maybe snow tonight. *sigh* Now we have ice.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your ice situation?
I had to go out for gas, but on a very level pathway....no ups or downs at all. After I got out of the neighborhood, the main roads weren’t bad at all as long as you paid attention at intersections and turns.

Thank goodness there was a dry day between the BIG MELTDOWN and the NEW FREEZE.
The Roads are clear.
Driving home from my sister’s (12 miles away), I watched the outside temp drop 8 degrees to the teens.
The muddy ruts in my parking space are now Icy ruts! LOL!

The streets sure don’t look like fun to drive on!

Pursuing Unity
January 15, 2018
Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all.
Colossians 3:11
Growing up during the 1950s, I never questioned racism and the segregation practices that permeated daily life in the city where we lived. In schools, restaurants, public transportation, and neighborhoods, people with different shades of skin color were separated.
My attitude changed in 1968 when I entered US Army Basic Training. Our company included young men from many different cultural groups. We soon learned that we needed to understand and accept each other, work together, and accomplish our mission.
When Paul wrote to the first-century church at Colossae, he was well aware of the diversity of its members. He reminded them, Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all (Colossians 3:11). In a group where surface as well as deeper differences could easily divide people, Paul urged them to clothe [themselves] with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (v. 12). And over all these virtues, he told them to put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity (v. 14).
Putting these principles into practice may often be a work in progress, but that is what Jesus calls us to. What we as believers hold in common is our love for Him. On that basis, we pursue understanding, peace, and unity as members of the body of Christ.
Amid all our wonderful diversity, we pursue an even greater unity in Christ.
Christs love creates unity in the midst of diversity.
Colossians 3:11 lists ancient Colossaes diverse people groups. Most familiar are the Jews (the children of Israel) and the Greeks (Gentiles in generalall non-Jews). Paul describes these two groups with the terms circumcised (Jews) and uncircumcised (Gentiles). Then he adds barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free. The distinctions between slave and free are obvious. Scythian refers to wild nomadic tribes and barbarian describes those who didnt speak Greek and therefore were considered uncultured. The result is a spectrum of ethnically, linguistically, economically, and socially diverse peopleall who found the ground to be level at the foot of the cross.
