Strength Of A Man
June 16, 2013
Some years ago I found myself in an elevator with a couple of men. It was late at night, and we all looked weary. The elevator came to a stop, and a larger-than-life cowboy ambled in, wearing a battered hat, an old, stained sheepskin coat, and rundown logger boots. He looked us up and down, met our eyes, and growled, Good evening, men. All of us straightened up and squared our shoulders. We were trying to live up to the name.
On this day, which is given over to honoring guys, lets talk about living up to the name man. We try to be strong and macho, but often its just a façade. For all our effort, we realize we dont measure up. Underneath the bravado we harbor a host of fears, insecurities, and shortcomings. Much of our manliness is pure bluff.
Paul was man enough to admit it: We also are weak, he said (2 Cor. 13:4). Thats not pious chatter; its a humbling fact. Yet in what seems to be a contradiction, Paul insisted that we are to be men of courage (1 Cor. 16:13 niv).
How can we be the strong person that God meant for us to be? Only by putting ourselves in Gods hands and asking Him to make us that way through His power and enablement.
Come, Lord, and give me courage,
Thy conquering Spirit give;
Make me an overcomer
In power within me live. Anon.
True strength is the power of God in the soul.
Read: 1 Corinthians 16:9-13

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Yes...
Linda and i did some Hugh and series Yard Saling today, went to the dog park, and spent the afternoon sleeping off her excitement as i did a photo shoot of some new items, listed them on eBay, and then i took a motorcycle ride to ship some things and have some nice spicy Panang Curry at a little Thai restaurant.
A great day all around!

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
