As I get older, it seems these historical dates come around again faster and faster.
Honor is deserved by all the young (WAY too young) men who died that day.
We must never forget them and that means passing it on to the young ones, from 10 to 30.
God bless.

First Things First
December 7, 2017
Watch your life and doctrine closely.
1 Timothy 4:16
When you travel by air, before the flight takes off an airline employee presents a safety briefing, which explains what to do if there is a loss of cabin pressure. Passengers are told that oxygen masks will drop from the compartment above and they are to put one on themselves before helping others. Why? Because before you can help anyone else, you need to be physically alert yourself.
When Paul wrote to Timothy, he stressed the importance of maintaining his own spiritual health before helping and serving others. He reminded Timothy of his many responsibilities as a pastor: There were false teachings to contend with (1 Tim. 4:15) and wrong doctrines to correct (vv. 68). But to discharge his duties well, what was most important was to watch [his] life and doctrine closely [and] persevere in them (v. 16). He needed to take care of his own relationship with the Lord first before he could attend to others.
What Paul told Timothy applies to us too. Each day we encounter people who do not know the Lord. When we tank up on our spiritual oxygen first through time in Gods Word, prayer, and the enabling of the Holy Spirit, we keep our relationship right with God. Then we will be spiritually alert to help others.
Lord, open Your Word to me now. Let me breathe in its freshness before I go out to be Your light to the world.
A Christians life is the window through which others can see Jesus.
The importance of our relationship with God is also a prominent theme in the Old Testament. As Moses passed the leadership of the Israelites over to Joshua, he reminded his protégé that he must keep a right relationship with God. Joshua was to study Gods Word, to meditate on it day and night, and be careful to do everything written in it. Only then would Joshua successfully lead his people into the Promised Land (Josh. 1:78). Four hundred years later, David gave similar advice to his son Solomon: Learn to know [God] intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. . . . The Lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work (1 Chron. 28:910 nlt). Heeding his fathers wise advice, Solomon humbly sought the Lord and succeeded in building the temple (1 Kings 3:315; 6:14, 38).
What steps can you take this week to strengthen your personal relationship with God?

Thanks Kathy!
My Dad tried to relate to me the American outrage that occurred that day, and how Patriotism just exploded.
Maybe the way we all felt after 9-11-2001.

We were very lucky that:
A) Our carriers weren’t at Pearl.
B) The Japanese didn’t launch a third strike in order to destroy as much of Pearl Harbor’s fuel storage, maintenance, and dry dock facilities as possible.

The most meaningful gig of my entire career was playing for the 55th Reunion of Massachusetts Pearl Harbor Survivors.
They all wore Hawaiian Shirts and those Exclusive Pearl-Grey Fatigue Caps. (Like this:)

Turkey in the Straw (1942 Version)--Carson Robison
Oh a monkey and a baboon sittin' on a rail
Feeling mighty bad and looking kind of pale
A little yellow rat came sneaking 'round the weed
The monkey said, "Look, there's the guy we need"
The rat climbed up and they all begin to grin
Along came a fellow with whiskers on his chin
He kicked that rail and he broke it with a crack
And that was the last of the Three-Power Pact

Thanks for keeping this ‘alive’
Like we say...
Had it not been for Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima would probably NEVER had happened.
Today ‘we’ would call the ABomb ‘Karma’ for an attack on 12/7/41 or as ‘we’ learned it ‘What goes around, comes around.

My Dad’s gone now but I always called him every December 7th to ask him, Hey Dad, what were you doing on December 7, 1941? He’d say, I was listening to the radio that Sunday with the guys and we knew we were going to war.
