My son and I saw “The Blue Angels” at an IMAX theater last week. It was only in theaters for a few days before going to Amazon Prime. It was the most amazing aviation film we’ve ever seen.
Bible in a Year :
Throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord.
The men in the Bible study group were nearly eighty years old, so I was surprised to learn they struggled with lust. A battle that had begun in their youth lingered still. Each day they pledged to follow Jesus in this area and asked forgiveness for the moments they failed.
It may surprise us that godly men still fight against base temptations at a late stage in life, but maybe it shouldn’t. An idol is anything that threatens to take the place of God in our lives, and such things can show up long after we assume they’re gone.
In the Bible, Jacob had been rescued from his uncle Laban and his brother Esau. He was returning to Bethel to worship God and celebrate His many blessings, yet his family still kept foreign gods that Jacob had to bury (Genesis 35:2-4). At the end of the book of Joshua, after Israel had defeated their enemies and settled in Canaan, Joshua still had to urge them to “throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord” (Joshua 24:23). And King David’s wife Michal apparently kept idols, for she put one in his bed to deceive the soldiers who came to kill him (1 Samuel 19:11-16).
Idols are more common than we think, and God is more patient than we deserve. Temptations to turn to them will come, but God’s forgiveness is greater. May we be set apart for Jesus—turning from our sins and finding forgiveness in Him.
Reflect & Pray
What sin are you most tempted by? What steps might you take to destroy this idol?
Father, I confess my sin, and I gratefully receive Your forgiveness through Jesus.

Being way up north on the DMZ in Vietnam, we couldn’t get Adrian Cronauer on our little transistor radios very well. But good old Hanoi Hannah came through loud and clear. She was far more entertaining with her commie propaganda than was Cronauer with his ego. She also played better music. Nov 66 until the following summer. She played Respect by Aretha Franklin just for us. Or so she said. That was right after a major shootemup on Route 9. We all took it as a compliment, though. We took about 15 kias. It was my next-to-last firefight before I came home.
Duck back in the alley with Long, Tall Sally,
Take her up on the mountain to a sudden valley.
Roll over Beethoven till your face turns blue,
Shake a hand, kiss Speedoo, with the blue suede shoes.
Make a flying saucer out of Maybelline.
That’s how you follow the rock.
I have asked Vietnam vets if they ever listened to North Vietnamese radio. They told me you could only get it if you were way up north, near the DMZ.
