					<description><![CDATA[Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (This is one of my favorite posts from a while back. I hope you will enjoy it. And may we be thankful for the gift of freedom &#8211; Thomas). My wife and I visited a WWII Veteran this weekend. Mos (rhymes with doze) has been our friend for almost two decades. He is a former Marine who served in Okinawa, among other places. One of the things he lost while defending this country was his hearing. All the explosions and big guns &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD. Leviticus 19.32 NIV      I’ve enjoyed some fulfilling perks working with fish and wildlife.      One of my favorite days of the year happens when folks from the VA hospital come to our small community to fish for trout. I don’t remember who first thought of this idea. I wish I could claim it as mine, but it wasn’t. Regardless &#8211; somebody somewhere should reach around and pat himself on the back, because he (or she) came up with a good &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20      For whatever reason, I’ve always enjoyed visiting with older folks. Some of their stories may be a bit reckless with the truth, but they are, at the very least, entertaining.
