I’ve often admired the mate-ship that’s found among soldiers. I imagine that entrusting your life into the hands of your mates while in the heat of battle is an experience that forges incredibly strong friendships. You’ve faced death together, and may even owe your life to one another.
There seems

Many of you remember the struggles of the Viet Nam War. During that war, our troops would often set up “fire bases”. These were bases where troops & artillery would be placed. They were arranged in such a way that if one fire base was attacked, usually one or two other bases could provide

ii. Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift.
We have hard work to do and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle,
face it: ’tis God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil. Who’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce, O shame!
Stand up, speak out
and bravely, in God’s

Under the law with its ten-fold lash
Learning, alas, how true
That the more I tried
The sooner I died
While the law cried, "You! You! You!"
Helplessly still did the battle rage,
"Oh, wretched man," my cry.
And deliverance I sought
By some penance bought,
While my heart cried, "I! I! I!"
Then

Sitting by the Fire
An old man sat by an open fire and dreamed the years away,
While, outside in the battle of life, many perished in the toils of day.
He never did any good, nor did he ever do any wrong.
He just sat by the open fire and dreamed the whole day long.
Now he’s left a vacant chair and
