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
