Cdr.-=Hay #1=- dropping in to mention a few things...
Humility is a virtue based on the word "humas" or soil..i.e. Dirt!<G>
The mudbog I fell in yesterday in Portland Oregon.. today is a stain
on my Levi 501's that can be brushed off, and washed away... *i found a
better place to park! ...I learned a few things, mayby<g>
To be humble is to experiance falling in the mud.. and finding the ability
to rise-up and grasping the dirt in our hands... and know when to put
it back down and go-on....
"He's raised me..from the mirey clay.. and set my feet upon the rock.. and
know I know..."
Yesterday I was stuck... and it was *Friends that moved me..when I
could'nt get out on my own, no matter what i tried... *frustration!
I was covered in mud. "humbeled by the slippery earth" *discouraged and
emotionaly upset...it pluged my tread on my tires and on my boots..
it stole my grip!<G>Hehe.
(*I've felt that way argueing a point here on Rangernet!)
"at some point I lost my footing and slid into a mudbog...
only to be revived by friends..."
Last night at the Scout troop they held an award "council of
achievement" and one scout was called forward to recieve his
God and Country award...
He stood there and his councilor came up.. the Youth Pastor from a
well known Baptist church in town... *This brother spoke of the boys
service to the church and study of his faith... He went on and on,
and finely the boys Mom in her Scout uniform ;') came forward and
hung his God and Country medal and neckerchief around his neck.
*My heart was pleased at this.. It blessed me!
I'm not alone in my Christian walk... *Others share a faith in Christ!
Others see the light, the white light the shineing light the light that
leads the way!<G>
*Did I want to challenge the doctrine of their faith? (*Mudbog!)
...what I "felt" was genuine respect... I want that in my RR Outpost..
I want the boys to RESPECT the spiritual beliefs of others!
*Finely.... When I think on GREAT MEN.. *I remember their ability to
encourage as well as challenge me. Cdr.Johnnie was that way... He
had the ability to *accept me, as well as challenge me to do better..
He was a leader, that I would follow... *I know he had faults.. I know
he was human.. and today he'd be found wrong on a few topics<G>
But today he would tell us to share the *Love of Jesus the *Mercy...
offered us "just as I am..." to re-new our hearts and minds in fellowship.
Embrace the words in the FCF campfire.. Love. dedication, Whitness!
Thanks,
