Memorial Day – 2025

May 26, 2025

Memorial Day in America has become nothing like the original folks envisioned in 1866. Commercialization and party hardiness are the primary focus of the weekend. Few, if any, businesses close, and flowers are not shared on graves. Over the Memorial Day weekend, I get many more “thank you for your service” comments because most folks … More Memorial Day – 2025

May 15, 2024

Back in the day when I served in the US Army (the mid-seventies to mid-nineties), we were blessed if we got any additional Body Armor beyond our helmet.

Today our US Forces are far more protected in Battle … More Saturday’s Soldier Devotional – God’s PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) ~ 09/14/2024

Saturday’s Soldiers Devotional – Plus-“Honor” – 03/09/2024

March 9, 2024

Everyone no matter what they claim desires to be honored. They either want to be recognized for individual accomplishments or for a group/team/unit achievement. In the military, we had badges and ribbons for all sorts of individual achievements honors, and quite a few for the unit as well. An individual soldier and especially a good … More Saturday’s Soldiers Devotional – Plus-“Honor” – 03/09/2024

Saturday’s Soldiers Devotional – Plus – 01/13/2024

January 14, 2024

The goal of all military leaders is victory. Yet the Bible is clear there is only one true and final victory, and it is foreordained. “All enemies shall be put under His feet; and such as resist the melting influence of His grace, shall be crushed beneath the iron rod of His power” – From … More Saturday’s Soldiers Devotional – Plus – 01/13/2024

ISAIAH 6 Chapter CONTEXT from MHCC: Hitherto, it should seem, Isaiah had prophesied as a candidate, having only a virtual and tacit commission; but here we have him (if I may so speak) solemnly ordained and set apart to the prophetic office by a more express or explicit commission, as his work grew more upon … More Soldier Saturday Devotional -Plus Interesting Reads – 04/21/2023

1 JOHN 1 Chapter CONTEXT and Commentary: MHCC My Master’s Thesis, CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AS A REQUIREMENT FOR FULLNESS JOY, is based on 1 John 1:1-4 (you can look at it under the SERMON/TEACHINGS and APOLOGIST TAB).

A visit to the National World War II Museum is both sad and uplifting

March 18, 2023

Some of you may have noticed my absence over the past week. That is because I made my first visit to New Orleans. The city is beautiful, although a bit overwhelming, because it hits every one of your senses. However, what I want to write about here is not New Orleans generally, but, more specifically, … More A visit to the National World War II Museum is both sad and uplifting
