If you read the whole thing it’ll likely curdle the marrow of your bones.

Perhaps better phrased as “Lt. (at the time) Howard”.

Transmitting Truth

Read: Deuteronomy 4:9–14

Teach [God’s ways and instructions] to your children and to their children after them. Deuteronomy 4:9

Without the ability to see their grandchildren in person due to risk of infection, many grandparents sought new ways of connecting during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent survey showed that many grandparents adopted texting and social media as a means to maintain their precious bond with their grandchildren. Some even worshiped with their extended families by video call.

One of the most wonderful ways parents and grandparents can influence their children is by passing down the truths of Scripture. In Deuteronomy 4, Moses charged God’s people to “not forget the things” they’d seen about God “or let them fade from [their] heart[s]” (v. 9). He went on to say that sharing these things with their children and their children’s children would enable them to learn to “revere” Him (v. 10) and to live according to His truth in the land He was giving them.

The relationships God gives us with our families and friends are certainly meant to be enjoyed. By God’s design, they’re also intended to be a conduit to convey His wisdom from one generation to another, “training [them] in righteousness” and equipping them for “every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17). When we share God’s truth and work in our lives with the next generation—whether by text, call, video, or in-person conversation—we equip them to see and enjoy His work in their own lives. — Kirsten Holmberg

Who has “transmitted” God’s truth to you? With whom can you share His truth—through a text, a note, or an in-person conversation?

Thank You, God, for the legacy of faith You’ve passed on to me. Please help me to lovingly impart that legacy to others.

Bible in a year: Psalms 110–112; 1 Corinthians 5

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! That is quite the read about Lt Howard, and the men around him. Thank you!!

I did read the whole thing..."The unthinkable was done". RIP!

Heroes for sure!!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Reading about our different heroes each week takes one’s breath away. Reading about 1st Lt. Howard this evening is no exception.

I hope you managed to find some “you” time today.

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks Ma!

Another amazing story of a serious bad-assed soldier.

My salute to him.

[radu]

Howdy, Allegra.

Have you been lucky enough to get some of the rain rolling across TX this weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...did you rescue them back home? Or are you still in San Fran on the rescue?

[SkyDancer]

Hai! Just got home a bit ago, nice flight.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

How are things up your way, other than hot? Any cool-down in sight yet?
We’ve been fortunate so far and have had a cooler August than we’ve had in a while. And do we appreciate it!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...any stormy weather? Thunder? Lightning? Rain?

Sprinkles off and on most of today so far.
