Opportunities to fail to serve beckoned all around me.<br /><br />The answer came to me as this: It does not matter what your neighbors think. What matters is that you do the right thing.<br /><br />I was not responsible for determining the direction of the country. I was responsible for defending the Constitution of the United States. My responsibility came not from an oath, but because I honored the sacrifices made on my behalf to live as a free man--which is guaranteed to me by the Constitution.<br /><br />What is a man worth if he does not honor that which others have done for him?<br /><br />Jesus Christ has done the utmost for me. How can I not honor his sacrifice?agedwireheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032369207161684817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431555212964585861.post-1628647566874650672009-05-28T14:24:10.826-05:002009-05-28T14:24:10.826-05:00I feel it to be an honor to die for the truth.
Ye...I feel it to be an honor to die for the truth.<br /><br />Years back, it was the thing to do to go to church... today, it is not so popular. <br /><br />Real Faith = Real Christians... even when it is not hip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431555212964585861.post-51477387064768255482009-05-27T12:05:26.532-05:002009-05-27T12:05:26.532-05:00I encourage you - too often we men beat ourselves ...I encourage you - too often we men beat ourselves up because we are not the Superman we want to be. We must take the time to know that the little thngs we do - talking to the wife and kids, doing our best at work, refusing to give back evil when we are wronged, standing on the high moral ground, keeping our word, accepting responsibility, and trusting in the Lord - often add up as major differences in the life styles of those that watch us. We fail, yes. We can do better, yes. We trust God and His promises, yes. We strive to do the good that we would and confess we often to the evil we would not. But we have a Savior!<br /><br />Keep on keeping on - I pray for you - my brother.Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431555212964585861.post-29858326605346252282009-05-27T04:49:09.589-05:002009-05-27T04:49:09.589-05:00I am stretched thin at home, church, work, and els...I am stretched thin at home, church, work, and elsewhere, but am willing to do my part one small step at a time.

We send our recruiters into the high schools to find our adventurous youth. They arrive at a military base but as far as I know our Armed forces do not bring religion into the battle so as to not offend some one. I am not faulting our military trainers, but it seems this might be a great service that the LCMS could enlighten our soldiers with....before they stick their heads out of the foxholes, and it seems only fair that they have studied the religious needs for a war before they raise their hands and say, 'I will."The Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541336142205205632noreply@blogger.com
