The FReeper Canteen Presents....

~ Constitution Day, September 17, 1787 ~

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Canteen Mission Statement

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

The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government.

All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. Among the chief points at issue were how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators. The work of many minds, the Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise.

Don’t Be Deceived

Bible in a Year:

• Proverbs 27–29
• 2 Corinthians 10

[The devil] is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:44

The spotted lanternfly is a pretty insect with speckled outer wings and a splotch of bright red on its inner wings that flashes when it flies. But its beauty is a bit deceptive. This insect, first seen in the US in 2014, is considered invasive to North America, which means it has the potential to harm the environment and economy. The lanternfly will “eat the innards of practically any woody plant,” which includes cherry and other fruit trees, and leaves a sticky goo that leads to mold—killing trees outright or leaving them with little energy to grow fruit.

In the story of Adam and Eve, we learn of a different kind of menace. The serpent, Satan, deceived the couple into disobeying God and eating the forbidden fruit so they would “be like God” (Genesis 3:1–7). But why listen to a serpent? Did his words alone entice Eve, or was there also something attractive about him? Scripture hints at Satan being created beautiful (Ezekiel 28:12). Yet Satan fell by the same temptation he used to entice Eve: “I will make myself like [God]” (Isaiah 14:14; Ezekiel 28:9).

Any beauty Satan now has is used to deceive (Genesis 3:1; John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 11:14). Just as he fell, he seeks to pull others down—or keep them from growing. But we have someone far more powerful on our side! We can run to Jesus, our beautiful Savior.

By:  Alyson Kieda Reflect & Pray

When have you been deceived by a person or group’s seemingly attractive idea? What helps you to recognize deception?

Dear God, help me to weigh what I see and hear by the truths of the gospel. Thank You for triumphing over evil through the cross.

Daniel Carroll was one of five men to sign both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.

My Mom traced her side of the family clear back to him.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day!! Me...just barely, but the hope is for the rest of the week to go better.

How’s your second mixer coming along? Is the young welder learning what you are trying to teach him?

Hi Everybody!

[Tanniker Smith]

Good evening, Kathy. Good evening, all. Schools started up again, sort of. NYC kids are all remote tomorrow and the length of their school day varies.

I’ll start seeing in person high school kids next week. It’ll be interesting.

In happier news, back in July, my first anthology of scifi and fantasy flash fiction was published by eSpec Books.

In A Flash 2020 is available as an ebook or paperback from Amazon (and elsewhere). https://www.amazon.com/Flash-2020-Christopher-J-Burke-ebook/dp/B08CWQTYBR

If you get a copy, be sure to leave a review. I’d love to know what people think.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...still fall? Blue still happy. Our leaves are turning rapidly, but more rain first. I like not having to think about driving to work every day. 😎

Tonight was a beautiful crisp night. I went to an outdoor concert where my nephew was playing. He did ALL Classic Rock, and i was the oldest person there, and was the only one who was able to sing all the words!

Gosh, it’s so good to see you. Hope your school year goes well and un-dramatic.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Congratulations on being published!!

School everywhere seems like its going to be quite a challenge this year. Are you expecting to teach all in person, or will you be teaching remote as well?
