Rest In Peace

Read:
Psalm 4:1-8

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. —Psalm 4:8

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 28-30

A man has created a safety bed which he claims will provide protection against hurricanes, tornadoes, thieves, kidnappers, and terrorists. The inventor's Web site calls it "the safest rest you've ever had."

When a motion sensor detects a threat, the "Quantum Sleeper" automatically folds up around its occupant. Inside the bulletproof canopy, an alarm awakens the protected sleeper, who can spray tear gas on the intruder—or watch a movie on the DVD player while waiting out a storm. Even so, I suspect that not even an armored bed can guarantee a good night's sleep untouched by anxiety or fear.

Psalm 4:4-5 has a three-part recipe for finding peace in a troubled world: When you're angry, don't express it by disobeying God. When you lie down at night, do it in heart-searching silence. Live sacrificially, putting your trust in the Lord. An old hymn affirms this biblical instruction:

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

David concluded his psalm, "I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety" (v.8). And that is without a doubt the safest rest we'll ever have. —David McCasland

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. —Hoffman

He rests well who rests in Jesus.

Mornin' Foxhole.

Along about my third cup of coffee in the morning, I'm scannin' the obits in our local rag.

More and more, I'm seeing women listed who served in the Armed Forces or Rosie the Riveter types.

BTW, we're heading north next month, and if we make it to your area, I'll give you a Howdy. Still working on our itinerary. Got a wedding to attend in La Pine and don't know what else or where we're headed.

[Northern Yankee]

Good afternoon!

Woman in combat Arms?

Personally I'd like women in combat legs!

Are you heading to the EAA Airventure?

We're heading to Maine next week, but will be back early the following week. I am hoping to get their Wednesday or Thursday.

Regards

Good afternoon, Snippy and everyone at the Freeper Foxhole.

we're heading north next month, and if we make it to your area, I'll give you a Howdy....Got a wedding to attend in La Pine...

Looks to me like you'd almost have to go right through here if you're driving. We'd love to see you.

Grrrr.

[snippy_about_it]

Good morning Aeronaut.

[snippy_about_it]

I could have used some of that good sleep last night.

[snippy_about_it]

Better today?

[PAR35]

Since there doesn't seem to be much discussion on the merits, I'll start with a politically incorrect position:

I'll vote 'no' for women in ground combat or onboard ships. It is almost as harmful to good order and discipline as gays in the military. Female pilots are acceptable, and there are many rear area roles which women can perform.

[Professional Engineer]

Good morning ladies. Flag-o-Gram.

[E.G.C.]

A little better. Still sneezing though but getting better.

[Professional Engineer]

OOOooooo, a whole thread about SpankenTruppen!
