USS Constitution Underway In Boston Harbor, 29 August 2014
From The Boston Globe:
"Old Ironsides sailed through Boston Harbor Friday for the last time until 2018, as the 216-year-old warship prepares to undergo a three-year restoration beginning early next year. The USS Constitution has sailed unassisted by a tug boat only twice since 1881, in 1997 and 2012. This summer it sailed with the help of a tug, but still moved by its own power. Friday was the final unassisted sail until the ship has completed its restoration. Aside from making the usual repairs for wear and tear, the restoration aims to return Old Ironsides to an image of its 1812 self. She kind of ballooned away from how she was originally constructed, said Peter Melkus, spokesman for the Constitution. So one of our goals is to make her as authentic as possible to what we consider the era of her greatest popularity, the War of 1812.

Step Up!
August 30, 2014
Read: 2 Chronicles 15:1-12
When a woodchuck started eating our garage (well, just the trim), I bought a live trap with plans to transplant the little guy to a park. I baited it with an assortment of goodies and opened the trap door. The next morning, I was excited to see a little critter in my trapuntil I noticed that it was no woodchuck. I had snared a skunk.
I went online to see how to untrap the skunk without having it . . . well, you know. The solutions were extremely cautious in their descriptions of how to protect yourself while releasing the animal. Plastic bags. Gloves. Tarps. Blankets. Goggles. The task looked daunting and dangerous.
Then my son-in-law Ewing stepped up. He simply walked over to the trap, opened the door, and coaxed our striped friend on its way with a few sprays from the garden hose.
Sometimes our fears can lead to inaction. We worry so much about protecting ourselves that we fail to simply step up. When King Asa learned that the Lord wanted him to remove the idols from Israel, he took courage (2 Chron. 15:8). He could have had a rebellion on his hands for doing this. But he stepped up, and as a result the nation rejoiced (v.15).
Facing a spiritual challenge? The Lord will help you step up with courage and trust Him for the outcome.
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely, strong or weary;
Trust in God and do the right. Macleod
Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
While the books of Samuel and Kings follow the monarchy from the days of Saul all the way into the divided kingdom, the books of Chronicles devote only one chapter to Saul (1 Chron. 10). The writer spends most of his time and effort recording the reigns of David and Solomon, presenting their reigns as the high point of Israels history.

I went to Boston in 1961 with my parents - my Father was attending a meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine. We had the time to see a lot of sights, including, of course, the USS Constitution. Somewhere in the archives there's a photo of me as a 13 year old leaning out over one of the cannons on the gun deck of Old Ironsides as though sighting the cannon for fire.
The only other things I recall about that visit were a dinner at Durgan Park, a trip to Hugo's in Cohasset Harbor, and a visit to a rock-ribbed beach in New Hampshire.
