Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Adam and Eve faced a similar problem. They became so preoccupied with one plant in their garden paradise that they couldn't see the forest for the tree. Just look at what it cost them. The Garden of Eden had been created especially for them. In it they knew no evil, no trials, no sickness, no death. They enjoyed the company of the Creator Himself. Yet they gave up everything they had-just to eat the fruit of that one forbidden tree. Their mistake still plagues us. How often do we miss the whole forest of God's goodness for a single tree of testing? The moment of temptation seems so overwhelming, the idea so irresistible, our twisted logic so justifiable. Think about all that Adam and Eve left behind in the Garden. Fill your mind with the truths of God's Word and rely on the Holy Spirit's moment-by-moment guidance and strength. Then you'll experience the lasting joy of God's blessing rather than temporary pleasure. -Mart De Haan
Seek God with your whole heart (Psalm 119:9-16). Listen to wisdom (Proverbs 8:1-11). Resist the devil; draw near to God (James 4:7-8). Your response to temptation will make you or break you.

Good morning, Sam and Snippy! I hope you are doing well.
More illness in my family - the kids and I have been flat on our backs all weekend and I missed work yesterday. So thank you for an absorbing read today - I'm bookmarking this thread.
Sam, I'm curious as to your thoughts on the "re-evaluation" of the Prokhorovka battle. I know you and I have had this discussion before but it appears history may be written a little differently now.
Great read! It's just amazing the amount of tanks, artillery and soldiers concentrated for one battle. I did a cursory search for any other battles since 1943 that rivaled Kursk and only the Arab-Israeli conflicts accumulative through the 60s and 70s were mentioned.
But Kursk began the erosion of German morale of the whole Wehrmacht from top to bottom.
I only read through post#100 . . . did anyone mention the other Kursk disaster?
(CNN.com) On Saturday, August 12, 2000, the giant Russian nuclear submarine Kursk -- carrying a crew of 118 -- sank in the icy waters of the Barents Sea after what Russian officials described as a "catastrophe that developed at lightning speed." More than a week later divers opened the rear hatch of the sub but found no survivors. Our in-depth special examines the submarine, the disaster and the aftermath.
All of us have been so close to a temptation that we've lost our perspective. It may have involved something as small as a rumor that we knew shouldn't be passed along, but the urge to gossip blocked out our sense of love and good judgment.
