Silence really can be golden. You don't like to be silent? You want to teach me and preach to me? You don't like my silence? You don't like when I am not silent? "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." I Cor 14:28 Who is...

Even people we know well will differ from us. We may have mostly the same view on things, believing almost the same doctrines and yet that 'almost' is there. If we will allow it to work as we speak with these people we know we will all grow closer to each other and to God. Many years ago when...

Then again while there is no doubt in my mind that I know and am known by Jesus that I also find myself quite guilty at times. In the P.M. just a few hours beyond my personal time with God, which is regularly in the very early A.M. in my heart there I am right there with the worst of what I...

Ha, Danish beer brings to mind another story of my only visit to Denmark. During my student year in West Berlin a German friend invited me to travel with him to Copenhagen. He had a little two passenger Triumph sports car with a high speed reading on the speedometer of 95mph. I remember that...

Continuing to pray!

Especially in myself I can look back and see and relate, but in others I would always hesitate without confirmation from God as what it is another person is experiencing. If I don't need to know and somehow get involved, according to God, I do want to leave it alone minding my own business...

Yes, I do not recall ever getting drunk on German dark beer. I do however remember ordering an egg breakfast in a restaurant in West Berlin and drinking beer with it. I have not had a real German beer in many years. But... once in a while when we were able to go out for a nice dinner, I would...

Do you believe then that the Church, those who are, or are to be, part of the Body of Christ are ready now? Are there no trials or stumbling that parts of the Body must go through, polishing and being polished, as it were, until each part fits perfectly into the whole in its designated place...

I agree! No standing still when the Holy Spirit leading is beckoning us to come on...!

I love it, but minus the sauerkraut. Even during my year in Germany I always hated sauerkraut avoiding it whenever possible. But the dark German beer, I loved it. I got spoiled on it and could hardly tolerate most of the American beer when I first came back to the States.

LOL yes, really good times, huh? When I was going through basic training at Ft Ord, Calif. we had a night training exercise where we all set up our tents [shelter halves, where two men carry the two halves of a two man tent] on a hillside and crawled into our tents for a few hours sleep. We had...

Yes it can happen to anyone who is not used to that kind of weather. You can get used to it but it takes time. Perhaps they should have sent all of those Marines to Texas or Georgia for a few weeks before the trip to Viet Nam. But, I'm not an expert either!

I expect as it was when I was in the military someone knew a better way to do it, but lots of hardheads running the show with the result that some poor foot soldier with no rank or influence carries the load and does the suffering. Kind of compares to the civilian USA today where the bigwigs...

As time gets shorter and we stay close to God it is all too visible. Too many people do not realize what they have already lost and what they are losing. Night is coming! It is getting dark! But what is the work of God needing be to done while it is still day? Read the arguments and/or...

When I arrived in Viet Nam [Aug 1964] there only 16,000 active military Americans military there with no combat troops. The Signal Corps probably comprised the largest part from the US Army present. Probably most of the rest were in the Air Force. In January of 1965, President LB Johnson sent...

Good to the last bite! Waste not, want not! LOL

Yes, I can tell a few, but I was not serving God in those days, so some of them I will never tell. I was stationed at a small separated compound on the Danang U.S. Air Force Base operating a Microwave Radio station. We were Army Signal Corps but the Army had no combat troops in the country...

I suppose that you could. When it was available, my wife would add some kind of bits of meat to it. When I was in the army we ate left over C-rations and K-rations from WWII and the Korean War. It was old but still quite edible. I was on active duty from Aug 1963 until Aug 1966.

I am out of the Ramen picture these days, but we still both partake once in a while in old fashioned spam. I learned to like spam when I was in the US Army as part of our canned rations. In Viet Nam I was in a barracks with a mess hall most of the time, but in the Dominican Republic we lived in...

Years ago when we were young and finances were tight my wife and I ate a whole lot of that Top Ramen. I haven't had it myself for a long time, but my wife still fixes some it herself for a quick meal.
