Date: 11/10/1999 4:33:17 PM Central Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Duane Wheeler) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Last night on PBS I watched a program about the secret code breakers of WW2 in Britain.. With only the scrambled transmissions of Nazi communications they were able to "de-duce" not only the message but the machine that scrambled the text! They built one based on sheer brain power of asking what would it take to secure text and portray it in this manor.. They "saw" the un-seen.. by looking not at the confusion.. but at the surrounding structure that did not change... Germans were sure that their messages could not be broken... they trusted the equipment they developed, and in fact it was good! But the code was broken because of predictable human traits and errors being sent over the radio... To anncounce a message three (3) letters would start.. the code sender was told to choose random letters.. Humans are not random.. the letters H-I-T then the code *-*-* (L-E-R?) How about: L-O-N followed by *-*-*(D-O-N?) or try: B-E-R * * * (L-I-N?) The Nazi's started messages with a repeated cheer of Hail Hitler... *so what ever the code machine scrambled.. the British reasoned that message might be at the start<G> Each day a clue was sent that predicted the change the enemy made to confuse transmitted text<G> and soon they came to expect the changes each day and guess them before the Germans sent them<G> *What fun<G> The machine had three wheels to scramble text.. Allied forces had found that out.. then it all went black! Germany added a forth wheel to their machine! By wars end they had a machine with 12 wheels of random letters and code so tuff... the Leader of the codebrakers found one message required 30 days to de-code! "I think I'll invent a machine that uses vacuum tubes to sort out random phrases using a binary code of on-off" Tah-da! the worlds first programmable Computer! THANK-YOU BRITISH INTELLIGENCE <g> Royal Rangers understand that the game is easy when you know what the enemy is about to do.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- It's easy to be ready when you have a warning before the fight...and READY is our motto! But could you sort out the intentions of the enemy by "reading" the random codes he allows you to see? *THINK ABOUT WHAT THE ENEMY SENDS YOU OVER THE TV! ...the movies and the Internet! ..what about music you hear? Pictures you "see".... Can you use "RANGER INTELLIGENCE" to see he would kill you, addict you, bring you harm and pollute the temple of the Holy Spirit? He's the enemy! He's come to steal your joy and rob you of eternal life thought Jesus! when he gets close.. you won't know it.. you'll rebel, get angry and quit Rangers-church and become a "problem" to your god fearing parents! *READ THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT! BREAK THE CODE! The bible has this all laid out, and provides you with the power to resist and triumph in the LORD! *HOW CAN THE Enemy... steal your mind? The facts are that "Outside" forces steal your CONCENTRATION and you become tired of the challenge of learning new things and achieving goals... BREAK THE CODE! *you need to do your homework! Good Grades honor you and honor the Lord Jesus! Don't fall into the trap of the enemy and dodge responsibility... the enemy loves that! Use you BRAIN POWER! Break the task into segments... do what you know and think about the rest... remember the lecture at class? What did the teacher desire to get across while you were staring out the window? <G> *Be a Intelligence operative! -=A=- _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________________ Subj: [RR] Give it our ALL Date: 11/18/1999 4:36:13 PM Central Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Adrian) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Rangers. I just got this from another list and thought I would share it with you. If 99.9% were good enough..... * 12 newborns would be given to the wrong parents daily. * 114,500 mismatched pairs of shoes would be shipped per year. * 18,322 pieces of mail would be mishandled per hour. * 2,000,000 documents would be lost by the IRS this year. (We can handle that one!) * 2.5 million books would be shipped with the wrong covers. * Two planes landing at Chicago's O'Hare airport would be unsafe every day. * 315 entries in Webster's Dictionary would be misspelled. * 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions would be written per year. * 880,000 credit cards in circulation would turn out to have incorrect cardholder information on their magnetic strips. * 103,260 income tax returns would be processed incorrectly per year. * 5.5 million cases of soft drinks produced would be flat. * 291 pacemaker operations would be performed incorrectly. * 3056 copies of tomorrow's Wall Street Journal would be missing one of the three sections. * A typical day would be 24 hours long (give or take 86.4 seconds). This made me think: "What if God only gave us 99.9%?" That would mean that His Son would not have died on the cross for our sins. This would mean that we are condemned under the Law. What if God only allowed 99.9% of the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, this would mean that we would not be effective as we are. What if God only answered 99.9% of our prayers. What a mess we would be in. What if God only gave us 99.9% of the Bible. How would know and fully understand His Kingdom and His love for us? How would we know what it is to be a committed Christian? How would we know God? The way I see it is that God does not hold anything back from His children he gives 110% all the time. He gave his Son to die for our sins, He gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us to be like Jesus and do many "signs and wonders", He answers all our prayers according to His will for our lives, He gave us His word, the Bible, so we can read His words and see His greatness and love. His word also goes for logos (the written word) to rheema (His spoken word in our lives). When we read a passage in the Bible and it hits home it has gone from logos to rheema. Last night I was explaining how God empowers us all with the Holy Spirit to my Pioneer boys and came up with this example of how God answers our prayers. "God will provide all our needs. If we ask for a Super Intendo will God give it to us if knows we will spend more time on that than reading His word or talking to Him, will He give it to us? Or if we ask Him for a book that will help us grow as Christians, do you not think that he will grant it because He knows it will draw us closer to Him?" Of course he will. Our Father gave His all, in His Son, how much should we give Him in return? Do not settle for second best, give God your best, after all, that's what He did for you. There's a storm coming, our Storm. PROCLAIMING GOD'S LOVE TO A DYING WORLD Say to the captives, 'come out,' and those in darkness, 'Be free!'

At the training grounds in Groton, Con. the Navy has a saying: " If you think training is expensive, try ignorance!" I think as Royal Rangers we can apply this. How many campouts do you think ended in failure, because the Commanders were not trained? Likewise how many campouts had the boys wanting more? Proper training is the key for the future of Royal Rangers. Do you think the armed forces would turn any yahoo loose with a M1A Arbams or a 688 without the proper training? Of course not. But yet we sometimes allow men to lead boys that are poorly trained or refuse to get training. Isn't of one the requirments for becomeing a leader to seek out training. But many refuse it, Why? "I've got work. I have the knowledge. I was a Boy Scout. I simply don't have the time." While these are good reasons. It isn't the answer. Do we refuse training from the Lord? If we do, he will still give it to us. Usually it's when we refuse the Lord's training we learn a thing or two the hard way.

Some of us was in Rangers from Straight Arrows, while others of us just got in Rangers. What is the differance between a good outpost and a great outpost? I think the answer is in both the leaders and the boys. In order for us to understand a good vrs great outpost. I think we must know the meaning of good and great. Webster's Dictionary defines good as satisfactory or superior in quality. Likewise great is defined as first rate, excellent. With the leaders a good vrs great outpost has at least three things. 1. The attitude of the leader 2. the dedication of the leader and 3. how willing the leader is. While there maybe other qualities in a good vrs great outpost let us look at these three qualities. Attitude. I think the attitude of the leader is what runs the whole outpost. Many of us do our best to do a satisfactory job and quite at that. If you only strive for satisfactory that is what you will get out of the boys. The attitude of the commander will be that of the boys. In the moive Top Gun. one of the officers says this " There are no points for second place." Likewise being satisfactory and excellent is what tells the differance in a good outpost vrs a great outpost. Dedication. The dedication of the leader plays a vital part in the outpost. Just because a leader has the right attitude and willness does not mean he has dedication. Dedication shows the boy you are not just a commander but a friend as well. Dedication not only comes in the form of the boys. It also comes in the form of training. The willings of the leader. In think willings should be second to attitude. As a leader we must be willing to do things with our boys. A great outpost goes to a good to a bad outpost because the leaders are not willing. If the leaders are not willing to spend time outside the classroom with there boys. The boys will stop coming. What good is taking training if you are not willing to put into use? It's just a waste of money and time. As leaders we need to be examples and our boys need to be examples. With the new year fastly approaching, now would the time to think about where you have been and where you want to be. Remember Chirst gave us his all. Shouldn't we expect our boys to be frist rate?

A Good Outpost can hold it's own against any other Royal Ranger group in everyway.. Achievements, attendence, events ect. they go places and do things..they have a functing OP council and regular award leadership meetings... However, a GREAT Outpost has the ability to "lift" both the boys the leaders and the parents to a higher challenge than what they had thought on arrivial.. A Great Outpost inspires the *spirit... and instead of a gulf between the boys you beging to see the natual friendships blossom<g> Leaders find they don't have to fight to speek and boys find they *desire to be a part of something good<g> It's a kind of "Dream-like" time.... and you don't want it to end.

Somehow this "dedication" has to make a jump from the leader to the boy... I've from time to time found myself discouraged for various reasons... and it was a boy that encouraged me with his "dedication" to continue on...

We must somehow retain our flexibility to respond to needs and the Holy Spirit, yet be determined to preserve the essence of the ministry. Its a tough road with many dissenting opinions, but if we "forbear in love", we can succeed and have a great testimony to all.
