From my daily study(in part):
"My occupation is words. Whether I am writing or editing, I am using words to convey ideas so that readers can understand. I usually can see what's wrong with someone else's writing (though not always my own). Focusing on what's wrong can cause us to miss everything that's good. The apostle Paul in Phil 1:12-18 had reason to focus on what was wrong in the Philippian church. But instead of concentrating on the negative, he chose to look at the positive and rejoice in it. God wants us to be discerning--we need to know good from bad--but He doesn't want us to focus on the bad and become critical or discouraged. Even in circumstances that are less than ideal, we can find something good because in times of trouble God is still at work. (by Julie Ackerman Link)

As a veteran, I appreciate the recognition on this holiday, but I want to acknowledge the unsung heros, the soldier's family. We as soldiers are trained emotionally and mentally, ready to put this training to work for our country. Our families are not. They wait at home, praying. Knowing that my wife was waiting kept me going. Today, I salute her and all of the other soldiers families. ~ Dewey Polf, Viet Nam
As a veteran I appreciate it when someone remembers the veterans on Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day and other holidays. But I for one want to salute all of the unsung heros...the families who are waiting at home. We as soldiers are trained, are equipped mentally and emotionally to deal with war. Families are not. They wait, pray and lean on their faith that their soldiers will come home. Knowing
that my wife was home waiting for me kept me going and brought me home. Some don't come home yet they still had the security of their families waiting, praying. Today, I salute these unsung heros. ~ Dewey Polf

So I salute the families on this 4th of July. ~ Dewey Polf

Like the GPS navagation device many people use to drive by, when we get off the route, it recalculates and get us back where we should be when we get lost.

II Timothy 3:16 tell us the Bible is a spiritual navagation system for our journey through life.:
Doctrine - tells us which road to travel.
Reproof - tells us when we are off the road.
Correction - tells us how to get back on.
Instruction in righteousness - tells us how to
stay on God's road.
Isn't it wonderful the moment we "veer" off on our own, the Holy Spirit is recalculating and urging us to return to the Father's Way?

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, "We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29.

Whatwith all of todays government rules and regulations along with daily distractions, we Christians sometimes become bogged down in worldly ways. We forget we must keep our eyes upon, obey and follow God. Each day is a new challenge which God gives all grace and mercy. What we do with it is our choice. I pray that I always remember to choose God's way without question.

If you had only 86,400 seconds left (one 24 hour span) how would you spend them? Psalm 73:28 says: "But for me it is good to be near God. I have made the Lord God my refuge that I may tell of thy works." And Exodus 33:19 says: "I will proclaim the name of the Lord." If you had only one day, 86,400 seconds.....

I was raised to say please & thank you, to have respect for my Elders, lend a helping hand to those who were in need, hold the door for the person behind me, say excuse me when it was needed, and to Love people for who they are, not for what you can get from them! I was taught to treat people the way I want to be treated. If you were raised this way too repost.

June 10....hmmmm. Faith and faith related subjects intrigue me. 1 Corinthians 2:9 is one of these verses. "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." This givem me peace knowing that even thought I don't see, hear, or understand I can have faith that it is so....

...Even her beloved brother wants to join a war effort she has yet to understand. Studying blueprints no longer offers the intriguing escape for Dena. Struggling to find balance in a life moving faster than one of Mr. Hughes' airplanes, she must hold on to the Christian values her mother always instilled in her youth...

Another excerpt from A Matter of Trust: I am pulling some double-shifts right now. I do enjoy it. I am meeting some inelligent girls too... Girls? What does he mean slipping in that short sentence and not elaborating upon it? Dena wondered.

"...He says that Britain is bombing Japan and there is even talk about activating a selective service act here in the United States." A tear slipped down Aunt Doreen's face.
What is a selective service act? What does it have to do with war? Dena wondered.
