We’s got dosimeters and atropine, it’ll be OK
Good evening, my, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Any good eats lately? VFW serving meals yet?
VFW has been verboten since early march
Bible in a Year:
Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”
Two men remembered for serving others for Jesus left careers in the arts to commit themselves to where they believed God had called them. James O. Fraser (1886–1938) decided not to pursue being a concert pianist in England to serve the Lisu people in China, while the American Judson Van DeVenter (1855–1939) chose to become an evangelist instead of pursuing a career in art. He later wrote the hymn “I Surrender All.”
While having a vocation in the arts is the perfect calling for many, these men believed God called them to relinquish one career for another. Perhaps they found inspiration from Jesus counseling the rich, young ruler to give up his possessions to follow Him (Mark 10:17–25). Witnessing the exchange, Peter exclaimed, “We have left everything to follow you!” (v. 28). Jesus assured him that God would give those who follow Him “a hundred times as much in this present age” and eternal life (v. 30). But He would give according to His wisdom: “Many who are first will be last, and the last first” (v. 31).
No matter where God has placed us, we’re called to daily surrender our lives to Christ, obeying His gentle call to follow Him and serve Him with our talents and resources—whether in the home, office, community, or far from home. As we do, He’ll inspire us to love others, putting their needs above our own.
Reflect & Pray
Who comes to mind when you think of someone who’s sacrificed for Jesus? How is God calling you to surrender?
Jesus, help me to surrender my all for You today as I serve You and those around me for Your honor.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
Oh no...I forgot about the destruction of all businesses.
Are you doing any cooking?
I can no longer shop or cook. :(
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,

Has anyone seen the movie “Greyhound”?
My dad was in the North Atlantic on Liberty Ships as a Merchant Marine.
I have been trying to find the movie, but no luck yet.
If you have seen it, I would like to know your thoughts.

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Howdy, Kathy.
Did you get any snow at your house today? There have been light snow showers at Lake Hood on and off through the day.
We had sunshine most of the day but clouds have moved in ahead of the front that’s going to come through.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
Howdy, luvie.
Feeling a little bit more like your old self today? It’ll take a while to get back to full steam but it’ll happen.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
