Bible in a Year:
For God . . . made his light shine in our hearts.
They call them “Keepers of the Light.”
At the lighthouse on the cape of Hatteras Island just off the North Carolina coast of the United States, there’s a memorial to those who’ve tended the light stations there since 1803. Shortly after the existing structure was moved inland because of shoreline erosion, the names of the keepers were etched on the old foundation stones and arranged into an amphitheater shape facing the new site. That way—as a placard explains—today’s visitors can follow in the historical keepers’ footsteps and “watch over” the lighthouse as well.
Jesus is the ultimate light-giver. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). That’s a radical thing for anyone to claim. But Jesus said it to affirm His relationship with His heavenly Father, the Creator of light and life who sent Him.
When we look to Jesus for salvation and follow His teaching, we’re restored in relationship with God, and He gives us new power and purpose. His transforming life and love—“the light of all mankind” (1:4)—shines in us and through us and out to a dark and sometimes dangerous world.
As believers in Jesus, we become “keepers of the light.” May others see His light shine from us and discover the life and hope He alone can give!
In what practical ways can you shine Jesus’ light? Where is God calling you to be obedient to Him today?
Jesus, I praise You for Your light and love. Help me to shine for You.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Like the voice of free America,
I am pleading now with you:
Let's all shout the words of freedom
Throughout Europe and Asia,too.
There is no place like our nation,
It is led by God's own hand.
Let's defeat the opressor
And bring peace to every land.
Oh, the voice of free America
Is beamed throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let's thank God for all our freedom,
He's been good to you and me.
Let's unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.
In Iran, they're having trouble
Over oil, as we do hear.
Between Britain and Iran,
the Russians interfere.
On the other side, Korea
Is a sea of blood today.
Send the voice of free Amrica
And get on your knees and pray.
Oh, the voice of free America
Is beamed throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let's thank God for all our freedom,
He's been good to you and me.
Let's unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.
Sometimes I wonder what will happen
If we go on at this pace.
I'm sure there is just one answer:
There will be no human race.
The atom bomb an cause destruction,
We can stop this with our prayers.
Send the voice of free America
To all nations everywhere.
Oh, the voice of free America
Is beamed throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let's thank God for all our freedom,
He's been good to you and me.
Let's unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.

Good evening, spel, and thank you for the Friday Night Edition of the Salsa Addiction Emergency Room! ((HUGS))
We fought a battle in freedom's name
To keep our colors pure.
We showered the Axis with misery and shame
And gave them all the cure.
In '45, we thought we through
In a fight for things good and fair.
All we wanted was brotherhood,
But there stood the fiery bear.
Refrain
You bear, you bear, you fiery bear,
Is there no stopping your prowl?
You bear, you bear, you fiery bear,
We're not afraid of your growl.
We love our baseball and apple pie,
we love our county fairs.
We'll keep Old Glory waving high.
There's no place here for a bear.
They know not the terms of the Bible's Word
They laugh at the Golden Rule.
They've never seen the Great Speckled Bird,
They don't teach those things in their schools.
Refrain
We don't like to think of Atomic Power,
A weapon we'd rather not use.
But now, we enter the critical hour,
And Bear, you're holding the fuse.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...with Blue “out-of-order” did you and Penny get in some good hikes today?
We got a bit of rain last evening, and the sun has been in and out all day. Hopefully the projected rain for the weekend will actually appear.
