Inner Turmoil
READ:
1 Samuel 1:9-18I . . . have poured out my soul before the Lord. 1 Samuel 1:15
Sometimes I feel as if Im in a bad relationshipwith myself! Whenever Julie the writer starts a paragraph, Julie the editor interrupts. "No, no, no. Dont say it that way. Why are you always so negative?" Or "What makes you think you have anything worthwhile to say?"
Before Ive completed a single thought, my alter ego has torn it to shreds. This is a very debilitating ritual. Its also common to the human condition.
Satan loves to distract us with criticism, and he tries to get us to use it on others as well as ourselves. We judge prematurely and try to correct others before we know what theyre saying. Thats what Eli the priest did when Hannah was crying out to God. He interrupted her prayer and accused her of being drunk (1 Sam. 1:12-14).
But God lets us pour out our hearts to Him in full honesty (Ps. 62:8). In fact, the Psalms indicate that it is when we are expressing our doubts and fears that God resolves them. Many Psalms that begin in despair end in praise (22; 42; 60; 69; 73).
When a battle is raging inside, pour out your soul before the Lord (1 Sam. 1:15). He can make sense out of what seems senseless.
When turmoil seems to hold full sway
And be the ruler of the day,
Ill open up my heart and find
That God with peace can ease my mind. Hess
Prayer does not make God see things as we see them; it helps us see things as God sees them.

Lt. George Bush's Distinguished Flying Cross Citation
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the
DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS
TO
LIEUTENANT, JUNIOR GRADE, GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH
UNITED STATES NAVAL RESERVE
for service as set forth in the following
CITATION: "For heroism and extraordinary achievement in aerial flight as Pilot of a Torpedo Plane in Torpedo Squadron FIFTY ONE, attached to the U.S.S. San Jacinto, in action against enemy Japanese forces in the vicinity of the Bonin Islands, on September 2, 1944. Leading one section of a four-plane division in a strike against a radio station, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Bush pressed home an attack in the face of intense antiaircraft fire. Although his plane was hit and set afire at the beginning of his dive, he continued his plunge toward the target and succeeded in scoring damaging bomb hits before bailing out of the craft. His courage and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Reserve."
For the President,
Secretary of the Navy

Great thread-feature.
Two DFC winners you've never heard of... Hal Dortch and Jim Alder from the 333rd TFS out of Takhli.
Steve Ritchie from the 555rd, Triple Nickle. TEN DFCs, if I'm not mistaken. Incredible.
