Believe me. I learned to love vegetables.

We would grow radishes on the submarine after the fresh produce ran out.

They were like GOLD!

Whom Will You Trust?

READ: Philippians 3:1-11

By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. —Ephesians 2:8

Ayn Rand, an American philosopher who died in 1982, gathered a sizable following who read her books and attended her lectures. An avid individualist, she had this to say: “Now I see the free face of god and I raise this god over all the earth, this god who men have sought since men came into being, the god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word, I.” When asked if she believed in God, she answered, “This god is myself, I.” Egotism—faith in oneself—that’s what this philosopher believed in.

The apostle Paul bore witness to a trust that is exactly the opposite of that misplaced self-confidence. He declared, “[We] worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh” (Phil. 3:3). He put his trust solely in Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, the true God of love and mercy.

We read in the book of Ephesians, “By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God” (2:8).

Are we embracing the philosophy of egotism, which is really a confidence that will prove eternally self-destructive? Or have we, like Paul, embraced the self-sacrificing grace of Jesus Christ?

By grace now I’m saved—Hallelujah!
Praise God, and through faith it’s been done;
Naught of myself, but believing
In the finished work of His Son. —Gladwin

We are saved not by what we do but by trusting what Christ has done.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 40–42; Proverbs 16:1-11

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Those and Brussel sprouts.
BLEAH!

[BIGLOOK]

Pandanus is the fruit of the Hala tree over here. It's an edible starch with no flavor and a 4 pound fruit cooked and mashed has all the nutritional value of licking a postage stamp.

While we were at SERE, there weren't any C-rats issued. The only things for dinner were what you could find. Since about 80 guys went through the program every week for weeks on end, there wasn't anything to find....like snakes, wabbits, mice, lizards....but out on the land navigation courses, we could find squaw potatoes, about the size of the nail on your pinky finger and wild onions. Put 'em in a canteen cup with some hot water and salt and you had a cup of soup. Yum!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL!
Ya nut!

[AZamericonnie]
