Gal. 6:14
The Victoria Cross is perhaps the most renowned medal for bravery. Recipients are rare and most who won it did so at the cost of their life.
Alone, one recipient charged three machine gun nests, dying as the last one surrendered.
Another rescued his aircrew from their burning plane but perished himself in the flames.
Written on the Victoria Cross is the simple phrase "for valor."
God has charged us to battle for Him, to carry the good news of the gospel to the perishing. We should be doing it for a cross too--His cross. In light of His sacrifice we should be prepared to sacrifice as well.
How often we fail for a simple lack of valor.
God forgive us.
--S. McEachern
No Coward Soul Is Mine
Emily Bronte
No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from fear.
O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life--that in me has rest,
As I--undying Life--have Power in Thee!
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.
With wide-embracing love
Thy spirit animates eternal years,
Pervades and broods above,
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears.
Though earth and man were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou wert left alone,
Every existence would exist in Thee.
There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou--Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.

Sisters Rachelle and Judy.............
Well done, you have it corrrect.
Oh wow, am I ever in a world of hurt. Ouch, ouch, ouch. I felt like having a cup of hot chocolate, so I just made it and thought, well, I'll take my evening meds (Niaspan) with it. I totally forgot that anything hot activates the niacin, and the body burns like you are in an oven. I'm beet red red and on fire. Oh boy do I need a cold shower right now.
This hymn is so easy I have to desguise it with a clue only. It's a
big clue though. I remind you, it's just a clue.

Sister PaT........
I watched a program tonight on the "Medal of Honor" and several recipients acts of heroism were told in an interview with each of them. Having served in two major wars, I felt a sense of closeness with them. THese brave men were, as they admit, only the ones that were recognized, and untold thousands of real heros stories will never be told. I broke into tears :'( when a black fella told his story and then spoke of his sons, two of which were in college at the time. He then spoke of his wife being killed in a traffic accident by a drunk driver. He cried and said: "I miss her so". :'(
9.30 a.m.England.
Lee.
I have shed a few tears over the last few days of Remembrance also.
On the radio yesterday they told the true story of a lad of 13, who joined up in the 1st W.W. He was Irish, told them he was 18. He died just after his 14th birthday, in France......more "gun-fodder".
As I am still feelin rather unwell, please forgive if you don't see me for a couple of days. Christopher is going to get me an anti-glare screen for this lap-top. That might help. Also the sun is shining here today, always a "lift" to the spirits.
God bless and keep you all in His love,
Jenny.
Good morning, Jenny (You're the only one I see. :)) Please take care of yourself. I'm sorry you aren't feeling so well.
I haven't felt very wordy lately..haha......but come and see what others have written.
It's about 1:45 am here. I was in bed, but couldn't sleep, so got back up. I've been up awhile, so think I'll try again.
Blessings from the Oregon Coast.....nita

'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?'
Matthew Chapter 27 Verse 22
He is without doubt my Best Friend. There is nothing I enjoy more than being in His company. This week I have found that difficult. I am not aware of backsliding as such nor of any particular sin that I am committing that would keep His presence from me, yet I am not so aware of His comfort and fellowship as I was.
I read and study His Word and find little to write or think about. My mind seems to be a vacant spiritual void at present.
'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?'
What is a Christian to do in such circumstances? Well it is all too easy to become depressed in spirit. It is easy for our heads to drop and for us to give up on an active spiritual life.
It seems as though our witness, our zeal has become stale. Have I become greedy for an extra portion of manna? Am I making good use of what is spread before me daily?
The older I become the more I tend to cross-examine my thoughts, my motives and my actions. Am I living for Jesus or for my own selfish ends? Do I indulge my left hand be parading what my right hand is doing?
Am I fervent in my petitions of simply good at repeating my requests? Do I actually believe that what I am asking for, God is willing to give?
'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?'
Am I redeeming my time? Do I still hold grudges or am I pleading with God for the salvation of those who have wronged me? Am I loving my enemies as commanded? Do I only call upon His name in earnest with things go wrong?
I talk to Him all the day long, sometimes He even whispers to me through the night watches. He never turns me away and never gets fed up with my company.
Yet it seems there are times such as this week when He travels such a distance from me that I am acutely aware of loneliness and helplessness. I am bereft of spiritual comfort.
Often I moan and groan my way through a day, yet He is not put off. He is my Saviour Redeemer having died where I should have died. I didn't know Him then but He knew me. I was a stranger and He took me in.
I was naked and He clothed me. I was hungry and He fed me. I was dirty and He cleaned me. He asked nothing in return but that I follow Him wherever He leads me.
He has led me to some wonderful places. Fountains of living water, streams in the desert and He even made me to sit down under His shadow, which was a delight. His fruit was sweet to my taste and His banner over me was love.
Where now are these days? Will they ever return? I must be patient today and await His return. It is the only way.
He is a great Teacher although I have often found the training difficult. The lessons gleaned have been better than silver or gold. I have to admit that I am a poor pupil and He has often had to teach me the same lesson over and over again. He is always very patient with me.
Sometimes when I have been lonely or afraid, He will put His arm around me and whisper, 'it is I be not afraid.' He always seems to be there when I need Him the most.
He never lets me down and never fails with any of His promises. He always says the right thing to my soul at the right time.
He loves when I read of His wonderful story. He loves it when I tell others about Him. He loves it when I sing praises to His name. He loves me best of all when I am at complete rest in Him.
I love to meet new brothers and sisters. It is great for us to talk about our Best Friend. His gifts are beyond words. Who can put a value on love, joy, peace or forgiveness? I can only thank my Best Friend for purchasing these wonderful gifts for me through His own death.
'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?'
Well I am learning. If He should return to me today I will gladly and eagerly embrace Him. What will you do with Jesus which is called Christ?
LOL

Quote'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?'
Good Morning Everyone!I'm nearly ready to leave for the day. Just thought I'd drop in and say, "Howdy!"
What a good verse,
Iain! What shall we do then with Jesus!? I'm going to be thinking of that today as I travel to Toronto.
Hello to the rest of you. Talk to you all tonight.
Jenny, take care. I hope you feel better soon.
Pat, drive safely and I hope the treatments today are not as painful.
I read and absorb so many of the wonderful comments and devotionals that are brought to our attention here.
Sometimes it isn't possible to attend church and, while I never wish to abandon church and my friends, y'all certainly provide fellowship, too.
My love and prayers to all.
Ruth Ann
Good morning. Good to see each one today.
Today is the first day this week that I don't have to rush and get ready to go somewhere.
Rom 1:5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. (NIV)
I am thankful this morning that through the grace of God we have been called so that we may have salvation.

I don't think there is much more beauty in this world than seeing our country's flag flying high. Veteran's day brought out a lot of flags. It is a shame that they cost so much. They should be less costly so EVERYONE could fly a flag. If you don't live in America, I am sure that you feel the same about
your country and it's flag.
Marilyn ~ Bebe turns off the TV. :D Ali turns on my touch lamp! I got home last night and it was on. She turned it on this morning while I was reading my Bible.
Joyce ~ That is terrible about your Mom. I will pray that both of you receive comfort while dealing with this fall.
JudyB ~ Your OH WOW post gave me chill bumps. God is good! I will be praying for the long road ahead for Melaura to be complete and short.
Jane ~ So happy to read that your MRI came back normal. Praying that the rest of your tests are normal as well. Keep on keeping on!
Larry ~ Jerry tends to think that nothing changes. He said he sees fine...just has a focusing problem. Well, it was discovered that one eye is far-sighted and the other-near sighted. I am sure the glasses will help him. He hadn't had an exam since 1981!!! Wow! Anyway, the glasses are his birthday and Christmas gift from me.
Chris ~ Great advice for Ria with the anniversary of her husband's death coming soon. I wish I had said it!
Papa John ~ Did you tell your physicians that it wasn't luck that you are still around? Lots of prayers from all over the world worked wonders but I like Mieka's view best....your heart is so big, so the mansion in heaven has to be so big to hold you and it isn't done yet! I love that thought.
Lee ~ My mother had a 10-inch rod and 5 screws in her left leg and she said she could never go on an airplane. She had never been on a plane and I think this was her excuse in later years. Do you have to carry papers to tell about the interior metal you have?
Pinkie ~ Every time I have my mammogram, I think.....'Men had to design this machine...no woman would put this torture on another woman'. But if you had any cysts before the mammogram, they would be gone afterwards!!!
Jeanne ~ Great that you had a kid-filled day. Love your smiley's, too!
Sarah ~ Take care of those bruises. Pray that no breaks come while sporting!!
Karma ~ It seems that in today's society, EVERYONE has the middle name of SUE. Sue for this, sue for that. One of the reasons why some parents lets their children raise themselves is because they think they will be sued if they discipline their child. Sad.
Nita ~ Good morning way out there in Oregon!!
Iain ~ Good morning. Great devotion!
Pat ~ Have a great trip to Toronto. I am meeting our friend today for lunch...Donna Marie. We are allowing plenty of time for conversation and the camera is in the car!
Last evening was a great evening spent with our small group. We are all growing closer and hopefully, will continue our small group meeting after the 40 days are over....even if it is only once a month.
It was raining last evening and kind of foggy...not a great evening to be driving in the dark. Double glare!

QuotePat, drive safely and I hope the treatments today are not as painful.
Ruth Ann Pat is having a fun day in Toronto Aat the Winter Fair. It used to be called the Royal Canadian Winter Fair, but I am not sure if it still is called that. This will be a fun day for her and Judy Mc, looking at farm desplays and animals. I wonder if she will watch any horce jumping competitions?
Lee I remember mom used to take niacin. She would complain of the heat it created too. I am sorry you forgot! BTW I have "no clue" about your clue!
Jenny I prayed last night that you would have a sunny day today. I well pray you feel better to be able to enjoy it.
Ria, Is it sunny there also? I prayed it would be for you too. Sunny days always lift the spirits.
Marilyn please let us know as soon as you hear the results from Fran.
Melaura had a bad night of nightmares and flashbacks. She is grumpy this AM, Pray for her as she walks through this season in her life.
We will be gone till late, we have The Baytone's practise tonight. They are singing at a nursing home. I think this is the beginning of the Christmas preformances. Melaura enjoys this choir, and they have taken her under their wing. ;D. They are a group of senior ladies, she is the youngest in the group.
it is cloudy and overcast in the north. I sent all the sun to Europe! ! !
LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE YOUR HEARTS, SINCE AS
MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE CALLED TO PEACE.
AND BE THANKFUL.
( COLOSSIANS 3:15 *NIV )
Love to all
JudyB
Yes Judy B the sun is shining in Holland the hole day but is cold 5* C.
Iain thank you for your devotional this today very good
and thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
I am feeling me fine.
Bye Love RIA ;)
A friend sent me this web site. The photography is awesome and music is beautiful. Click and enjoy, and turn on your speakers!
http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com
Good Morning JudyB I don't know how soon I will be hearing anything on Fran. I will probably have to call my BL myself, and he doesn't hear very well and may not know who I am when Ido call. I am hoping that one of the other nieces will be there with him to answer the phone.
Thank you Pat and Iain for the devotionals today.
Must go read the other forums now will get back to y-all later.
We have a cold front moving into the area today. We have had really great weather these past two days, up into the 70s! So we shouldn't complain now about it getting colder (but I'm sure a lot will! :))
Lee, your trip report was interesting. Was the last thing you posted, the __ee, __ee.....Free, Free? That's all I can think of at the moment that fits! Beth had a 16" titanium rod with screws in her leg, following the car accident she was in a few years ago, but it didn't set off the alarm at the airport! We were really surprised, because they said it would, and she had the documentation for it ready to show. She also has two Greenfield filters in her chest, but so far, they haven't set the alarms off, either. She has cards about those, too.
Pat, I hope you and Judy Mc have a wonderful day at the fair, and that the weather is nice, too. You sure deserve a day off!
I am going to visit Abby's class again this afternoon. I have some business in their town, and I enjoyed visiting her class so much, I want to do it again! Maybe her teacher will have something I can help her do today. I called last night to tell her I am coming.
I have been painting more this week. I have several wood projects I want to finish, so have been working on those. Keeps me off the computer! ;)
Rachelle, I'm sorry your daughter was wrongly accused, then her apology was not accepted. What twisted values those parents are teaching their children! It is so sad, but you can feel good knowing you are teaching your children right. Too bad the person at the skating rink started the whole mess. Not good. WE should pray for all of them-----"those who falsely accuse us." I hope this unfortunate incident will not take the joy out of skating for her! Hugs to you both.
Papa John, I'm glad you get to stay home and take it easy today. Such days are nice!
Larry---hello to you, when you pop in later!
Nita, always good to hear from you!
Hi, Etta Sue! What a great frined you are, to help Jerry so much. Bet he wouldn't trade you for a speckled pup! (My parents used that phrase a lot.)
I need to get busy on laundry, etc. so I will be caught up before I leave about noon.
Hi Ruth Ann, Ria, Jenny, Karma, Sonja, JudyB, and the rest of you wonderful CP friends!
Good afternoon all. I am at work, and it is busy right now, but it seems to be slowing down some.
I don't have anything to say. :-\
Lee, the only thing I could think of was 5 little piggies -- Wee, Wee, Wee all the way home. I'm the mother of a toddler, whatdoexpect!!!
Etta Sue, yes I talked with the doctor about the prayers and he agreed with me. In fact he said if he were ever in the condition I was in he would like to have the list of people who were praying for me.
--- Papa John ;D <:))))><<

Ria.........
Your comments about the Jews is very prophetic. The Lord tells us that the Jews will be hated by all nations and they will assemble together against her (Israel). The only peoples in the world that truly support the Jew are Christians. Because of this world wide hate (A new holocaust against them), every Jew in the world will make aliah (Returnto Israel). Our Lord has said this. Not one Jew in the world will be safe from the total antisemitism in the world. Yep, you hit the nail on the head.
Sister Karmat............
You're phunny ;D
Sisters Janet, and Judy..........
HAHAHAHA. Nope. The letters I gave are NOT in the hymn. They are a perfect clue only. ;) Don't think of the hymn, look closely at the clue. ;D Love you all. Lee ;)
My daughter Dian and Dick Ironside, a retired West Point Colonel, just received their first copies of a book they wrote about West Point. I'm in awe at the professionalism in the writing of this inside story. Dian gave me the first hard cover copy. Here's a copy of part my letter to her this morning.........
"I found the book to be an enchanting experience into the lives of American kids who were transported from home to the regimen of military life. Having
experienced three boot camps, and military life during two major wars, I was able to relate to some of their experiences. I've laughed, teared, and felt a deep sense of pride in our kids who I know will one day lead our nation in it's greatest struggle to come. I'm very proud of you my lovely daughter, and I feel as though I know Dick. The book was assembled with skill of heart, deep thought, and professionalism, and I have a sense of having been something like a "Peeping Tom" as your book weaves it's way into the lives of these rascals we love so dearly."
Lee when the attacks were in America 11 sept. 2001 the people of Moroccow and there are a lot in Holland THEY ARE DANCING ON THE STREET it was terrible to see
the police have a lot arrest.
But the people from Turkey not and they are also Islamic.
But the Dutch people in the evening we have been to the church and are praying for the people and hole America.
In Holland the people are thankfull for what the American soldiers and Canadian have done for Holland in the second world war. Every year 0n 4 and5
may we have rememberingsdays WE NEVER FORGET
Judy B thank you for the nice webpage i have saved it
by my favorites there i have also a lot from Chris and Margit. Thank you also
Bye love RIA :)
If you have stopped by to see my recent pics you will recall that there is a picture called "Kathy's flowers" Kathy is a YOUNG lady - maybe middle 40's who has been battling cancer for the past 7 years. Just recently she was hospitalized with new lesions on her brain and liver. A few days ago she was discharged to a nursing home and put on hospice. Today she called me and said she wants a ride to church! WHAT A TROUPER! This lady was put on hospice once before...in 1997! She said she's ready to go on to meet Jesus now, but she is already a walking miracle!
Hi everyone. Not feeling real great today so will probably make this short as really don't have much to say. Spent the morning at the car dealership having oil changed and then stopped at Sams' to return an iron Pat bought there yesterday that she didn't like when she got it home. I rested the better back of three hours this afternoon and have to do some practicing on the Vivaldi "Gloria" before choir practice tonight. See you all tomorrow.
JudyB...
In reference to your little saying that your family taught you: "Appologise for the situation." My father had a saying too, and altho it may not be very Christian, it certainly was applicable in a variety of circumstances and seemed to sooth the savage beast in difficult situations: "Consider the source"
That would definately work in Rachelle's situation. Those people had no business going off on that little child like that! So when you 'consider the source' you might figure that they had issues that they were themselves dealing with.
Hi everyone I have a question, if you please.
What is DPC and where is it located?
Well, that turned out to be 2 questions. ;D ;D
Not too smart
boots
hey ya'll

DPC is www.dpchallenge.com (http://www.dpchallenge.com) . It's basically a weekly photo challenge/contest. Once you see it you'll start to understand.
^_^ Hi.
It seems our Pat is having a long day!
I'm back home again, and the weather is getting colder. A "wintry mix" is predicted for tomorrow! We will see.
Larry, I hope you will feel much stronger tomorrow.
Like Karma, I have nothing to say, and I've already said it! :o :-X

I am getting ready to shut this down. Winds are 23 mph. The electricity is going dim...not out...but dim and then back bright.
I had a wonderful time today meeting a SeniorNetter that lurks. I hadn't even seen a post of hers. But she has three children and 5 grandchildren within 20 miles from me so emailed me to see if we could meet. A lovely lady. I invited her to CP. Sure hope she joins us. We met as strangers and parted as friends. ;) :-* :-*

Wow, what a lot of reading! I haven't had much time the past couple of days, and now have spent the better part of two hours just catching up.
Mom, I love your new photo :)
Pat, I hope you had a great day at the Royal. I have heard from a couple of people that have already gone this year that it was quite enjoyable. I doubt that I will be able to go this year.
I got home from work this evening to find that my Christmas lights were up, just not turned on yet.
And now must go and get some chores done.
Have a good night everyone!
ps. Welcome Ami Yuy
We have a high wind watch for tonight and tomorrow. This is supposed to happen in MARCH! I guess it means there's a big new front coming in, probably with cold and snow. It is that time of year, and it looks to be right on target.

WELCOME[/size]
Hi just stopping in for a few minutes to read some before I go off the Wed. Night Bible Study. Been doing some laundry since I got home and giving the dogs some of my attention that they have been begging for. Took some photos of the horses that live here and petting one of them for awhile.
Got to go now.
TTYL
Lest we forget.
Yes the great sacrifice to sit and talk to the veterans of all wars. My great uncle who lost a leg and probably many friends in WW1 to shout my friends that my uncle was here the one who you could push a fire poker through his false leg. We would all laugh about. Now a mature adult I would like it very much to take him in my arms and say I know what you went through. Please forgive me I was a child doing childish things.
He passed over many years ago. It was through my Uncle Edward and Aunt Ada that I took up my walking. Passing the streams of Burnley and Clitheroe and sampling the real ice cream. And my aunts home made lemonade. I have a lot to thank these two.
Many years later I joined the Royal Marines and passed the commando course then the parachute course for airborne forces being told I was a member of special forces. Dashed to the phone tell my dearest mother I was a special type of person. Funny I felt the same and the pay was the same except for parachute pay. The balloon descent I can say was something out of this world. Three hundred feet in what was it three seconds. How those guys are supposed to shout that Indian chiefs name is beyond me all I could manage was Ehhhhhh. I only joined to walk mountains and see the world. Not jump out of WW2 balloons,.
But they did say that if you can jump out of a balloon you can jump out of anything. Like jumping off the top of a chimney. The basket creaking as it took you to 850ft. Then the PJI [parachute jumping instructor ]shouting 850ft ten men jumping. First out the side of the basket was a American who had joined the parachute regiment through being attached to somebody over here probably a grandma.
He jumped no problem. Then it was me I thought if he says No!! I am joining him. He said yes so I followed him out the door/opening. I am a born coward.
They did tell me when your chute opens it is not the "Good Lord" talking to you it is Sgt Wreford down below with his hailer.
Best voice I have ever heard. Telling me things I already learned in the hangar supended from the roof by harness and thrown to the floor for over two weeks! Like check your canopy assess your drift look out for other paratroopers. If one is above you move over you will rob his air and he will come crashing down.
Then that stupid weapons pack on a rope swinging here there everywhere.
Night drops the only indication you have of nearing the ground is when that weapons container rope goes slack then a second later you hit whatever you are landing in. For weapons container read backpack!!
WW2 paratroopers[and other servicemen from the free world] I salute you going into the great unknown to rid the world of a great evil. I passed my airborne and Royal Marine Commando course in the early seventies. In 1940 this was all new sheer guts and courage rid the world of that evil.
Pity these young do not feel the same way today??
I can tell my brothers and sisters in the USA that the oncoming demonstrations in the UK against Iraq do not show the true feelingof the people in the UK.
How can anybody say the coalition forces should not have gone in when that person bombed and gassed thousands and his sons practised wholesale rape on any young woman that took their eye. Not counting the executions by hanging from a crane in the footbal stadium .
The western world should help the third world but not for greed or profit. But as Christians. Do not put into power people that our sons and daughters have to remove with their lives later, Not counting the misery and suffering to the people in those lands. And the parents of service personnel!!
Think I have wrote enough.
Peace be with you wherever you maybe.
Alan
Just dropped in to say hello.
We have had a thunder storm this evening as well so I to want to shut the computer down and let nature have its way.

Janet :o
Unfortunetly right now Lindsey doesn't want to go back to the homeschool skate-but, they have a gal that teaches figure skating lessons that the girls did last year and I will probably try and get them signed up for those lessons once the new year gets here.
I am going to just let her have some time, and my husband said if we do go back that he will go and if those people are there then we will all talk about it.
Anyway Lindsey and I talked about it and I said sometimes when we apolagize there are people that just cannot accept it, and I said you did all you could do-Now we just need to ask the Lord to help us forgive and put it behind us and go on-she agreed.
Her auction ended yesterday for her dolls she was selling-and it was at 46 dollars, the last 4 minutes I was watching it and prayed Lord let it get to 50 dollars to lift her spirits-so the last minute I clicked refresh and guess what? It jumped 10 dollars-she sold those dolls for 56 dollars lol, she was so excited about that.
For the rest of my day-been busy with school and catching up on things-I stayed home tonight to catch up on grading and recording grades so, I need to go do that-
Hugs to all of you
RIA-I am so glad that your doing better-
Pat-Have you heard from Meika?

I'm exhausted; it has been a long day. Another long day tomorrow. We have to go to Bernard's uncle's funeral -- Bernard is a pallbearer and is supposed to sing with some of his cousins. Pray for the man's widow, please, she is obviously heartbroken, but when I saw her tonight, she is having an incredibly difficult time coping.
Have a good 'un, y'all, and I'll "see" you tomorrow.
PS -- Any of ya'll wouldn't happen to be able to get your hands on a Sammy Sosa jersey would you? My niece is really wanting one for Christmas, and we can't find them anywhere around here.
Enjoyed all the posts and Judy B., that is a great site. Like some of the others, I haven't much to say...Was a tiring day and a busy one ahead tomorrow. Marilyn, I liked the pictures and that cat is sure cute. Jenny, hope you feel better soon.
I have to go to my daughter's tomorrow to see the firm member who is coming to design the kitchen, etc. The kids are getting over a bad virus....so hope my Vit. C and Echinacea will protect from their flu. Feel like I'm popping my head in the Lion's den....
God Bless and Pleasant Dreams.
Brother Alan.........You're my kind of guy. Too bad we can't sit and share in person. Every time I went up (Flying) I wanted just once to let er rip and jump. I was always glad the reason to jump never happend. You've got a lot more guts than this guys has. I don't think I could jump out of a perfectly good plane (As they say).
Judy..........Saw the presentation. It really had some great photography.
