					<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[&#8220;Teacher,&#8221; they said, &#8220;we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don&#8217;t play favorites. You teach the way of God truthfully. Now tell us&#8211;is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? &#8211; Mark 12:14 NLT Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?&#8216; &#8211; Matthew 20:15 ESV And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gaveto the world at just the right time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6  NLT Recently the Governor ordered all flags flown at half-mast in my state. For those who don’t know, this is a symbol of respect, mourning, and/or a salute. A few weeks ago, a Marine from my home state was killed while battling terrorists in the Middle East. I did not personally know the man or his family. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! Psalm 103:1-5 (NLT) A few days before I took the picture of this eagle, a veteran told me a remarkable story about himself. For a long &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?” Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. ‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. “And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than &#8230;]]></description>
