Planted In The House Of The Lord
July 23, 2012
After conducting a series of interviews with elderly people, author Don Gold published the book Until the Singing Stops: A Celebration of Life and Old Age in America.
Gold loved and admired his grandmother, and it was the memory of her that moved him to meet and learn from other elderly people. He recalls that on the way to one of his interviews, he got lost on a dusty country road in Missouri. When he pulled into a farm to ask for directions, a teenager came up, listened, shrugged his shoulders, and then replied, Dont know. So he drove on. A few miles farther down the road, he stopped again at a farmhouse. The farmer, who was an old man, graciously gave him flawless directions.
Perhaps, Gold mused, that experience sums up what he was searching for when the memory of his grandmother sent him out to find people like her. He was looking for someone to guide him in his life journey.
If youre young, seek out older people who have been drinking deeply from Gods love and goodness throughout their life. They have wisdom to share that will help you so that you also might flourish and grow in your faith (Ps. 92:12-14).
Dear Jesus, take my heart and hand,
And grant me this, I pray:
That I through Your sweet love may grow
More like You day by day. Garrison
Fellowship with Christ is the secret of fruitfulness for Him.
Read: Psalm 92

Must retire the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.
The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.
Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!
Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!
Godspeed our Troops around the Globe especially those in harms way by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

a familiar Naval Air Station?Kinda. I spent two days there (one in the hospital) when I was twelve. Broke my thumb in a football game.
I've been back to Key West a couple of times since then, but not on base.

Do you guys get to go for walks, or is it too hot?
Prayers continue for just the right job.
