Thank you for this piece. Morton has always been a personal hero of mine. Still chokes me up - how it all ended - but thats the way it is now isn't it. Magnificent American commander and a born warrior. We need his sort.
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Freeper Foxhole.
Read: Mark 12:28-34
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. —Mark 12:30
Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5
My 6-year-old neighbor Michael and I were talking in my front yard when two new neighbor kids stopped by. After I asked them their names, Michael's first question to them was: "Do you love God?" Sugar, a 5-year-old boy, quickly responded, "No!" Michael gave him a look of disapproval and concern. When 4-year-old Nana noticed he wasn't pleased with that answer, she said, "Yes!"
Michael's "witnessing strategy" may not be the most effective, but he does have an important question for the people he meets (and I've heard him ask it of several others as well).
Jesus was asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?" (Mark 12:28). He answered, "The Lord is one. 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength'" (vv.29-30).
Jesus was referring to Old Testament times, when God had told the Israelites to place Him as the one and only God in their lives and nation. The pagan nations around them had many gods they loved and worshiped, but God's people were to be different.
Loving God is to be our top priority too. So, Michael wants to know, "Do you love God?" —Anne Cetas

Just finished reading. I've got tears in my eyes. Kudos to you all. A wonderful, superlative job of telling a magnificent story. As one who has long been an avid student of the US submarine campaign in WW II in the Pacific, without in anyway detracting from the heroic exploits of all the boats, the person who perhaps deserves the most credit, and who receives the least recognition, is Charlie Lockwood.... He was, fortunately for us, the right man at the right place at the right time..and amazingly, CinCPAC had the good commo sense to , for the most part, leave him alone for much of WW II..
