Road Trip: Soldiers Walk Memorial Park ~ Arcadia, Wisconsin

Thanks to rabidralph for the tip for us to visit Soldiers Walk Memorial Park this week!

No visit to Wisconsin would be complete without a tour of the beautiful 54 acre Memorial Park and its' unique tribute to veterans of all wars and conflicts located just 40 minutes North of LaCrosse in Arcadia, Wisconsin.

 Stroll along the Avenue of Heroes, which is handicap accessible, to witness exceptional memorial statues of the fighting men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy today.

The Avenue of Heroes Walk is laid out in meters with each meter representing one year. The Walk Way covers 500 years from the establishment of Arcadia in 1854 until 2354. Memorial plates note events in the history of Arcadia. Strolling east again, you will see the Civil War “Boy” Soldiers, which gives recognition to the under-age soldiers who took part in the Civil War.

All of the flower beds on the walk are measured in meters. One meter represents one year of that particular war As you stroll down the walk, you will see next in view the statue of Abraham Lincoln from the Civil War era and a bit further down the walk, you will see the Angel of Mercy monument in memory of the Asian War Movement.

Losing Our Way

December 2, 2014

Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-10

The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness. —1 Timothy 6:10

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 42-44; 1 John 1

An online survey conducted by a New York law firm reveals that 52 percent of Wall Street traders, brokers, investment bankers, and other financial service professionals have either engaged in illegal activity or believe they may need to do so in order to be successful. The survey concludes that these financial leaders “have lost their moral compass” and “accept corporate wrongdoing as a necessary evil.”

In mentoring young Timothy, the apostle Paul warned that the love of money and the desire to get rich had caused some to lose their way. They had yielded to temptations and embraced many “foolish and harmful” desires (1 Tim. 6:9). Paul saw “the love of money” (not money itself) as a source of “all kinds of evil” (v.10), especially the evil of trusting in money rather than depending on Christ.

As we learn to see that Christ is the source of all we have, we will find contentment in Him rather than in material possessions. When we seek godliness rather than riches, we will gain a desire to be faithful with what we have been given.

Let’s deliberately cultivate an attitude of contentment in God, and faithfully submit to Him, for our Provider will care for us.

Father, it’s easy to see the problem that others have
with loving money. But I know I have my own
struggles too. I need Your help to learn thankfulness
for all that You have given. Grow in me an attitude of contentment in You.

To love money is to lose sight of the Source of life.

Insight

In 1 Timothy, Paul gives practical instruction about money. He tells Timothy that the problem is not money itself, but the love of it. Love of money is improper because God is the giver of all our possessions, so they don’t really belong to us. Godliness with contentment is true wealth (v.6).
