Good morning Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Good morning
February 15, 2005
During Lent (the 40 days prior to Easter) many Christians follow the practice of giving up something and taking the time to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice of Himself for us.
One group of middle-class believers in a church in the UK decided to live on the minimum wage. Their goal was to identify with those who live on little, to learn the joy of giving, to invite God to change their attitude toward money, and to challenge others in their church to do the same. For their study they chose Isaiah 58.
Afterward, one of the leaders of the group said they learned an important lesson. Living on less "makes you realize just how much you really can give away. It makes you look at what you normally give and realize that it is far from being sacrificial."
What they learned agrees with God's idea of what fasting and sacrificial living are all about. The Lord said to Israel, "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: . . . Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out?" (Isaiah 58:6-7). God was chiding His people because their fasting had become an empty ritual with no concern for others.
Let's give sacrificially to others-not just during Lent but all year long. -Anne Cetas
Your standard of giving is more important than your standard of living.

He does, however, wish to emphasize that his understanding and knowledge of Tanks and Tank Warfare is just about enough to cover the head of a pin (again, that's just about).
In what historian Stephen Ambrose (1997, 18) calls "one of the greatest intelligence failures of all time,"
Post Operation "Iraqi Freedom" Ambrose will need to edit that to read "greatest topographical intelligence failure". Still, this entire analysis of hedgegrow terrain is an excellent example of "homefield" advantage.

These are the stories that I love! Only in America can a cabby under enemy fire in a foreign be the one to come up with a life saving idea and have a CO with the "chandeliers" to let him implement it. USA!!!!
