~ MILITARY SHORT SPEAK ~ |
![Coast Guard Seal small (better)](http://images5.fotki.com/v81/photos/1/106521/1091486/coastguard-th.jpg) |
The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on... ![](http://images4.fotki.com/v40/photos/1/106521/398438/StarsStripesseperator-vi.gif?1066276156) |

GOOD Morning Everyone! Good morning to ALL of our AWESOME Military and our allies. THANK YOU. And, THANK YOU again!

Here we are back at Monday. Glad to see everyone this morning. Ah, you will excuse me for departing somewhat early as I see a number of factors that make me quite happy and I need to make my rounds:
One -- I am here before 100 posts,
Two --- I see a new face or two and need to make my welcome,
Three --- Tomkow is showing his butt at the Canteen and I need to send him to the corner so Ma will not be upset and take it out on the rest of us.
So, have fun and be sure to come back again and soon. You know the Canteen is :

If Doubtful, Don't!
Read: Romans 14:14-23
He who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. Romans 14:23
Bible In One Year: Ecclesiastes 4-6; 2 Corinthians 12
In his book Illustrations of Bible Truth, H. A. Ironside tells about a man who was getting ready to attend a banquet. He wanted to put on a white shirt he had worn on a previous occasion, so he was inspecting it carefully to see if it was too dirty. His wife noticed what he was doing and called out, "Remember, dear, if it's doubtful, don't." The issue was settled. The man threw the shirt into the laundry hamper.
That wife's advice reminds me of the principle in today's text. It's a principle that can be applied to questionable matters of conscience. If doubtful, don't.
The doubtful things the apostle Paul wrote about in Romans 14 had to do with meat and wine considered to be "unclean" by some but not by others (vv.14,21). He indicated that if we have doubts about whether an action is right or wrong and we do it anyway, our action is not from faith and is therefore a sin (v.23). He also pointed out that it is wrong to do anything by which a brother in Christ "stumbles or is offended or is made weak" (v.21). We must never give another Christian a reason to violate his or her conscience.
When faced with questionable practices and a troubled conscience, we would do well to make this our guideline: If it's doubtful, don't! Richard De Haan
There is a treasure you can own
That's greater than a crown or throne;
This treasure is a conscience clear
That brings the sweetest peace and cheer. Isenhour
One little word can spare us a lot of trouble. It's NO.

Today's FEEBLE
![](http://images3.fotki.com/v27/photos/5/55348/267509/friedeggpillow-vi.jpg)
YOKE :
A man was crawling across the Desert dying of thirst, when a camel raced up and stopped, and an Arab jumped down opened a suitcase and said, "Would you like to buy a tie?"
"No" said the man, "I need water, do you have water?"
"No" said the Arab, "but I do have a wonderful selection of ties."
"I don't want a tie !, I want water!" the man protested. The Arab rode off, and the unfortunate man continued crawling across the hot sand until he came to a beautiful Hotel. He crawled up the steps, crying "Water! Water!"
The Manager approached him and said, "I'm sorry Sir, you can't come in here without a Tie !!"
