I took the opportunity to copy this in case people would like to save the lyrics and read them on occasion of Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veteran's Day and on any day the mood strikes.
Ragged Old Flag Lyrics from The Essential Johnny Cash
I walked through a county courthouse square On a park bench an old man was sitting there I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down" He said, "No, it'll do for our little town" I said, "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it" He said, "Have a seat," and I sat down "Is this the first time you've been to our little town?" I said, "I think it is" He said, "I don't like to brag But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when Washington took it across the Delaware And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key Sat watching it, writing 'Say Can You See' And it got a bad rip in New Orleans With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams And it almost fell at the Alamo Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though ...
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag On Flanders Field in World War I She got a big hole from a Bertha gun She turned blood red in World War II She hung limp and low by the time it was through She was in Korea and Vietnam She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam She waved from our ships upon the briny foam And now they've about quit waving her back here at home In her own good land here she's been abused She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused ...
And the government for which she stands Is scandalized throughout the land And she's getting threadbare and she's wearing thin But she's in good shape for the shape she's in 'Cause she's been through the fire before And I believe she can take a whole lot more ...
So we raise her up every morning, we take her down every night We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right On second thought, I do like to brag 'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag

I love it when a vocalist begins with the final stanza (”O thus be it e’re / when free men shall stand...”) and then invites the audience to join in the familiar stanza (”O say...”)

Okay, not sure where to post this question but I’m giving it a shot here. Some of y’all will think it’s just silly maybe but my 2nd oldest grandaughter had her first full day in Air Force boot camp today and I’d like to know what her first day was like. Anyway, if I asked this in the wrong thread maybe someone here can ping an air force vet?

Helping Each Other
Sept 15, 2016
[God] comforts us . . . so that we can comfort those in any trouble.
2 Corinthians 1:4
The body of Christ is a mysterious phrase used more than 30 times in the New Testament. The apostle Paul especially settled on that phrase as an image of the church. After Jesus ascended to heaven, He turned over His mission to flawed and bumbling men and women. He assumed the role of head of the church, leaving the tasks of arms, legs, ears, eyes, and voice to the erratic disciplesand to you and me.
Jesuss decision to operate as the invisible head of a large body with many parts means that He often relies on us to help one another cope during times of suffering. The apostle Paul must have had something like that in mind when he wrote these words: [God] comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ (2 Cor. 1:45). And all through his ministry Paul put that principle into practice, taking up collections for famine victims, dispatching assistants to go to troubled areas, acknowledging believers gifts as gifts from God Himself.
The phrase the body of Christ expresses well what we are called to do: to represent in flesh what Christ is like, especially to those in need.
Dear Lord, thank You for always being faithful to comfort me when Im hurting. Show me who needs my encouragement today.
Gods presence brings us comfort; our presence brings others comfort.
We receive Gods comfort for our sake but also to extend Gods comfort to those around us. The word paraklesis, translated as comfort, appears twenty-nine times in the New Testament. The word has a range of meaning that encompasses comfort, consolation, and earnest request and is most often translated encouragement. And of the eight times paraklesis is translated comfort, seven appear in this passage. Paul paints a picture of the God who is concerned: The God who, out of His compassion, is acting to provide consolation for His people. The text says not simply that God is a dispenser of comfort but that He is the source of all comfort.

Good morning. Dropping a quick note to let you know I won’t be around for the next day or two. Had to put “hubby’s” laptop in the shop for an upgrade and they have our only power cord for charging “my” laptop; thus, I have very limited allowable time and must use it wisely. I’ve ordered a back up plug but not sure when it’ll get here (can’t even work on my book until I get it).
Will catch up when I can.
Have a wonderful Thursday.
