the
first Monday in September is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated
to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a
yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength,
prosperity, and
well-being of our country.

"Labor Day"
I was reflecting on Labor day and the many conversations I have had with friends and loved ones about work. I remember one conversation when the man indicated that he found it very difficult at work as he did not respect his boss or his ethics. It made me think of how many of us are unhappy at work trying to please our boss and being subjected to his ways of running a business.
We may think that work is secular, but view leading a Bible study as spiritual. The Bible draws no such distinction, however. Paul instructed Christians to work "not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do then do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:22-24.
When we respect authority and do our work as we are working for the Lord we are honoring God, than this too can be a ministry of witnessing to the world. Honor authority, give a good days work and do it as unto the Lord and not people. You will be at peace and receive a blessing knowing you are pleasing God.

Celebrated the fourth Sunday in October
October 24, 2010
How can you "get along" with your Mother in Law?
1: Ask her to pray for you and your family
2: Invite her to the Woman's Bible Study at your church
3: Pray for her
4: Tell her you are praying for her and ask her if there is anything specific
that you can pray for.
5: Ask her to attend the children's different special school or church events.
6: If she doesn't have her own church ask her to attend with you as a family.
7: Take some time and listen to the Lord's direction. Consider and ponder: What
would Jesus want you to do?
9-11
9-11,
emergency some will say,
but no one will forget that September day.
When the strongest people and the bravest souls risked their lives to go below.
The crashing towers falling down
spreading sadness all around.
We felt bravery for those who knew the cost,
and we felt sadness for all the ones we lost.
But out of the rubble rose wings of Hope
maybe someday we all will cope.
But until that day we all will grieve
and deal with a memory that will never leave.
For our answers we look to the heavens
and deal with the pain of September 11th.

Should a Christian celebrate Halloween?
Is there anything evil about a Christian dressing up as a princess or cowboy and going around the block asking for candy? No, there is not. Are there things about Halloween that are anti-Christian and should be avoided? Absolutely!
If parents are going
to allow their children to participate in Halloween, they should make sure to
keep them from getting involved in the darker aspects of the day. If Christians
are going to take part in Halloween, their attitude, dress, and most
importantly, their behavior should still reflect a redeemed life
(Philippians
1:27).
There are many churches that hold "harvest festivals" and incorporate costumes, but in a godly environment. There are many Christians who hand out tracts that share the Gospel along with the Halloween candy. The decision is ultimately ours to make.
But as with all things, we are to incorporate
the principles of Romans 14.
We can’t allow our own convictions about a holiday to cause division in the body
of Christ, nor can we use our freedom to cause others to stumble in their faith.
We are to do all things as to the Lord.

What was it you had said?
Why did you have to go?
Each simple little memory
Now passes by so slow.
I am stuck in the yesterday
Not wanting to accept
The horrid truth that you are gone
Your life taken without threat
This morning you awoke
To face a brand new day
But a cold-hearted terrorist
Took that gift away
Though the grave cry for the lost
In the settling of the dust
They failed to shake our foundation
For in God we put our trust.

U. S. Navy celebrates
236 years
Ray Jim JB Pete
Throughout our Navy and throughout the year, our various communities celebrate birthdays. From Seabees to Submariners, Corpsmen to the Supply Corps, community birthdays are a source of pride and renewal.
October
13, 1775, the birth of our Navy, is the one day that connects us all, every
community and every Sailor.
Throughout the past 236 years, our Sailors and the Navy have continually adapted
to the needs of the nation in both peace and war. Throughout our history,
Sailors from every social group, from countries around the globe, from diverse
cultures and backgrounds have joined in one common cause: the right of all
people to enjoy freedom and liberty. We can do no less in this splendid
endeavor.
To all the men and
women in the U.S. Navy who serve, and have served, we thank you.
Happy birthday U.S. Navy!

Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

National Grandparents Day
O
riginated with Marian McQuade a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildrenPresident Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(Taken from papers
written by a class of 8-year-olds)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's children.
A grandfather is a man
grandmother.
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also Why we shouldn't step on "cracks."

Many topics have come & gone over the past several weeks. Most of which are froth with venom regarding the state of the economy. Being opposed to accepting the blind demise of America’s way of life, my desire is to touch on this subject while in complete agreement that our God remains in control of her rise &/or, God forbid…her fall. Tuning into another of the President’s televised addresses, I couldn’t help but notice he first referenced the world’s problems, naming Japan, Greece, Europe, etc., relating to how the catastrophes facing them somehow have interfered with America’s recovery. For me, a thoughtful or prayerful note might have best served toward encouraging their recovery. Not on that day. Instead, in that speech through the natural disasters around the world, the economic uncertainties facing our country & those facing our individual households, I couldn’t help but notice he never referred to God, the Father or Creator. Even a moment of silence would have been encouraging. From there, we were once again led back into the ‘dark’ halls of our government, where party trumps country & too many times God as well, is not only ignored but sadly, even challenged. It seems to me; Any leader, that professes to be Christian, with a genuine love for this country & is expected to direct the effort in her security, would certainly see the need to at the very least refer to ‘God’ in his closing(s) of all such addresses. In fact, if the economy is in such dyer straits, perhaps the best place to be holding a news conference today would be in a chapel, on bended knee. How arrogant we are as a people when our rhetoric & insight speaks louder than the voice of reason, while shutting the wisdom of God’s word out of the decision process. Perhaps, in the upcoming months, along with praying for our leaders, we should focus heavily on praying for ‘voter discernment’ & an earth shaking (figuratively), volume of Christian voters turning out for the upcoming 2012 election. Frankly, as Christians, our beliefs may vary from time to time but our solidarity, when it comes to America’s Divine foundation & freedom thereof, must never waiver. In this study & before closing, the Holy Spirit guided me to the most astounding directive, especially the closing line; Psalms 33:10-12; The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

National POW / MIA Recognition Day
Observed: Third Friday in September
September 17, 2010
Before 1979, there were no official commemorations held to honor America's POW/MIAs. That year resolutions were passed in the Congress and a national ceremony was held at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
Every year the US Congress continued passing legislation observing a National POW/MIA Recognition Day. In 1995 that changed and now the US President signs a yearly proclamation observing the day.
During the 1980's, the American Ex-POWs decided on establishing April 9th as the date of observance. That day was chosen because it was the date, during World War II, that the largest number of Americans were captured.
Eventually in an effort to accommodate all returned POWs and all Americans still missing and unaccounted for, from all wars, the third Friday in September was proposed - a date not associated with any particular war. This is the date on which the holiday is now observed.
Ceremonies observing National POW/MIA Recognition Day are held throughout the nation and around the world on military installations, ships at sea, state capitols, at schools, churches, national veteran and civic organizations, police and fire departments, fire stations, etc.
The POW/MIA flag is flown and the focus of the day is to ensure that America remembers its responsibility to stand behind those who serve their nation and do everything possible to account for those who do not return.

Rev. Kay
Croatia
Kay and her late husband, Jacob, left the U.S.A. in 1982 and returned to their
mother country Yugoslavia (now Croatia) to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They founded and pastored the Maranatha Church in Split, Croatia. Jacob went
home to be with the Lord suddenly in November 1999 while Kay was in the U.S.A.
for medical care.
Kay now finds herself depending on God more than ever before as she carries the full responsibility of this work to those who are still sitting in the darkness and waiting for their deliverance, salvation, healing and transformation. Pray for Kay's health and divine wisdom
Please pray for our
missionaries health and safety. Pray that their spiritual and financial needs
will be met as they fulfill the commandment of Christ in Mark 16:15.

NIGHT DRIVING:
Night driving is difficult because things may appear differently than in
daylight. Also, glare from lights may interfere with vision. Courtesy and
common sense should be used when driving at night. Never overdrive
your headlights. Always keep them clean and aimed properly. Use them at
dusk and dawn. Bright lights must be dimmed 500 feet before meeting an
oncoming vehicle or 300 feet before passing a vehicle. If street lights
cause a lot of glare, dim your dashboard lights and use your sun visor.
Avoid using any other light inside your vehicle. Roadway signs are
more difficult to see at night. Use edge lines
and center lines of the roadway as guides. Do not stop on
the roadway. If you must stop, carry and use a red
warning light.

Did You Know...
The raven is the first bird mention in the Bible. It appears in Genesis 8:7, when it is sent out from the ark by Noah to see if the flood waters have abated. The second bird was a dove, in verse 8.
The Bible is a harp with a thousand strings. Play on one to the exclusion of its relationship to the others, and you will develop discord. Play on all of them, keeping them in their places in the divine scale, and you will hear heavenly music all the time. William P. White

Baptist Minister
I have a cousin who is a Baptist minister. When we were growing up, we only saw each other a couple of times a year. Now we see each other even less. A few years ago, when I hadn't seem him for some time, I suddenly began thinking about him and his famly. I just couldn't get them off my mind. And for some reason, I felt compelled to send him a check for $100.
I thought about it for a few days and made more than one aborted trip to the post office. I finally mailed it with a letter saying I hope I wasn't offending him, but I believed the Lord wanted me to do this. A couple of weeks later I received a reply. My cousin said it never ceased to amaze him how God worked in his life. and now God had once again shown him, through us, that he would always meet our needs. My cousin said the only concern he had was that I had sent too much.
All he had needed was $97.56. Lalia Winsett My God
will richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus.

"Wives, submit
yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord."
At some point in your life, you've probably seen news footage of angry women marching or protesting about women's rights. Occasionally these are peaceful protests, but there are always participants who seem to be aggressively anti-men. They're angry and want the world to know about it. What happened in this country to create so many furious, hurt women? Why have America's male-female relationships taken such an incredibly bad turn in recent years?
Why do we keep hearing stories and seeing statistics about soaring divorce rates, both inside and outside the Church? A good deal of the problem, of course, began in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the human race. There are many other spiritual and social factors, too. But I believe there is one single greatest cause of the deteriorating relationships between men and women in America, and it is unrighteous men. When you see an angry, man-hating woman, you are almost always witnessing the result of the men who have most influenced her life.
Whether men like it or not, they must realize they've been entrusted by God with the leadership of families, churches, and society as a whole. When men are righteous stewards of this authority and use their influence to provide for and protect those in their care, their spouses and children will reflect appreciation and contentment through their behavior. Over the last few decades, we've moved away from the God-fearing, sacrificial mindset of the men who built this country. A strong work ethic, commitment to family values, and devotion to community is giving way to selfishness and corruption.
When men are lazy and ungodly, the women (and children) around them will begin to reflect the sins of these men. A rebellious and destructive culture mirrors the men in that society, from churches to homes to larger institutions. Am I telling you this because I want to belittle men or start a round of male-bashing? Not at all! After all, I am a man, and we hear enough of that already. But I think it's important to consider the reasons why marriages are failing all around us. An honest assessment of the situation requires me to admit that men are a huge, huge part of the problem.
In Ephesians 5:25, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” The only solution to the lack of righteous male leadership in our homes today is for men to love women according to Christ's model of sacrifice. We don't love Jesus because he commanded us to, or because he threatens us if we don't. It is because he died for us. He sacrificed himself for us. We love him because we are grateful. The same holds true between women and men. A sacrificial man is easy to love, and will make our society stronger. Over the next couple weeks of Marriage Builders, we'll dig deeper into this concept.

U. S. Air
Force established,
September 18, 1947
On
the 18th of September, 1947, our Nation created the U.S. Air Force. Over the
last 64 years, the Air Force has changed dramatically, employing new technology
and responding to a changing world. Today, we plan and fight as a joint and
total force, and the U.S. Air Force is performing all of its missions superbly,
from patrolling the skies of America, airlifting supplies to Afghanistan and
fighting in Iraq.
The war on terrorism is a war we must win to preserve our freedoms and protect
our way of life. The U.S. Air Force has a crucial role in this war,
accomplishing vital expeditionary and long-range combat missions, along with
dozens of other missions critical to our national security: flying satellites,
controlling airfields, maintaining our ballistic missile fleet, training
technicians and leaders, and many more.
To all the men and
women in the U.S. Air Force who serve, and have served, we thank you.
Happy birthday U.S. Air Force!

Truth about smoking Myth: Outdoor air pollution is more dangerous and harmful than indoor smoking pollution. Truth: Your risk of developing cancer from secondhand smoke is about 100 times greater than from outdoor cancer-causing pollutants. Myth: Children aren't affected by secondhand smoke; it's OK to smoke in the presence of your kids so long as you don't blow the smoke in their face and open a window. The same goes for smoking around your pregnant partner. Truth: Exposing a child to secondhand smoke is a form of child abuse. Although secondhand smoke is dangerous to everyone who comes in contact with it, fetuses, infants, and children are at greatest risk. This is because secondhand smoke can damage developing organs, such as lungs and brain. Myth: Secondhand smoke is more of an annoyance than anything else, and while it can make some people uncomfortable (and cause others to have allergies), all in all it's really very safe to be around. Truth: Secondhand smoke is a personal and public health hazard. Exposure to secondhand smoke is responsible for an estimated 3,000 deaths from lung cancer among nonsmokers in the U.S. each year, and linked to 36,000 deaths from heart disease annually. Passive smoking, in fact, is our country's third leading preventable cause of death after direct smoking and alcohol. Who
is most affected by Infants, children, and individuals of all ages with chronic respiratory or cardiac problems, asthma, allergies, or compromised health status are most adversely affected by secondhand smoke. Pregnant women and their unborn children are also adversely affected by secondhand smoke. From an occupational standpoint, factory/construction site workers, bartenders, waiters and waitresses consistently exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk for developing lung cancer.
