Generations Part 2.5 - "The Forgotten War/The Korean War"

Generations Part 2.5 – “The Forgotten War/The Korean War”

The Korean War… June 25, 1950 – July 1953 Some call this “The Forgotten War.”  I call this “The Silent War.” This is my tribute to American men and women who joined or were drafted, to keep us free. Why did we fight this war?  Or should I ask “why do so many people know so little about it, if  anything?” This conflagration may be the least talked about war that we have fought.  It seems everyone…

Imagine

Sometimes my mind takes me to places about which I have not been thinking. For instance, have you wondered how we would feel if age was cherished instead of disdained? Or how nice it would be to compliment or be complimented on our accomplishments instead of the way we look on the outside? Some people age well and some do not. Just what does that mean? We might try to live our lives away from…

The End

At the end end of the day…ahhh. I just have tired ears I guess, but the only time I want to hear this phrase in the future is: “At the end of the day, it is night.” Thanks, The O’reilly Factor!

Truth A statement of truth never has to be said but once. There are no changes, additions, or subtractions to truth. Rondelle Stevison

Wasted

I love quotes. They can say a lot in just a few words: The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. afterdark.ie Besides that, the wrinkles in your face will be softer than one controlled with anger or indifference. (Selah) means, think on these things.

Death is Heartbreak

This is written especially for you: When someone is taken from us, while we are grieving, we don’t understand.  When this happens, my heart breaks for the family and loved ones.  Remember, God is a God of life, not death.  He came that we may all have life. We live in a fallen world.  Satan only comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  When your heart is broken, and you don’t understand, you can…

I'm an Expert, Not

I’m an Expert, Not

Well, I just decided at the last minute to have deviled eggs for supper.  I would love to give you the recipe.  But I grew up standing at the old wood and enameled cabinet, with the flour bin on one side and the meal bin on the other, as close to my grandmother as I could get, watching her every move. We did not have all the fancy measuring spoons and cups that we have now.  That was not a…

Sabbath

Have you realized that Jesus Christ is our Sabbath Rest?  Everything in the Old Testament was pointing to Jesus in the New Testament, even the Commandments. Before God created the earth, everything for all time was settled.  He had already made a way for us.  After He created everything, He said He was very pleased with all that He had made and that everything was perfect. Then He said something…

My Life: Shopping

I went to the supermarket yesterday. I needed several things to restock the pantry and freezer. I ended up with 37 items. When the cashier finished with all the things in my cart and totaled everything up, I had something happen that had never happened to me before. The grand total was exactly $100.00! She said, that never happens! Sometimes it is the little, insignificant things that make life…

Look Back

Many people spend too much of their time looking back at their lives, regretting the past. The only time you should look back is to take note of what God has done for you, and where He has brought you as you follow and continue to follow Him. Do not dwell on mistakes that you have made, but always glorify God in all things. Do not allow your thoughts and ideas of failure to keep you from relying…

The Will

How many times have you been concerned with what God’s will is? How many times have you said “if it is God’s will?” If you thought like I did, then it was probably quite a few times. Consider this, “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this…

My Life: My Pleasure

My Life: My Pleasure

Leaving on a jet plane. A fast four days. From Panama City to Laramie Wyoming. I’m attending my son’s graduation with a Master’s Degree in Music Performance on Saxophone from the University. Hopefully he will attend a university and receive a Doctorate within the next two years. I’m not as apprehensive about flying as I was when I was younger. I found myself musing about that this morning. My…

Now and Later Do not be conformed to this world. Our life here, relative to time, is but a breath.

One or the Other Just remember: Without rain, there would be no rainbows. Without God, there would be no real love. Scriptures declare both of these statements to be true.

Training

There are certain people who seem to have the need to share their lives with a pet.  Mostly dogs and cats.  Now, cats are pretty independent and can take care of themselves.  The dogs are another “breed.”  They rely on their “mommies or daddies” to help them in the beginning. Now, we all know they must be potty trained similar to our human babies, so… We take our pets outside every hour to potty.…

Hallelujah!

Did you realize the Gospel of God is “deliberately kept plain and simple: First Jesus and who He is; then Jesus and what He did – Jesus crucified.” 1Cor. 2:2 MSG But it doesn’t end there! Christ was also resurrected from the dead; by the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself! He’s alive! And we will live also if we put our trust in Him and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. No works that you…

Do Good There are some good things we do "for God.”  We do what we would call good works.
