It may be today!



It may be today my soul will

   take its flight,
To be with Him on high in Heaven's
   unsullied light.

This world is not my home I'm only
     passing through,
I'm here on business for my Lord His
    Holy will to do.

It may be that today my suffering here
   will cease,
And absent from the body be and
   joy in my release.

No more to gaze through darkened
    glass, but then to see
The Glory of my risen Lord, who
     loved and died for me.

Better far, maybe today, I'll hear the
   trumpet sound,
In life or death I'll hear the shout and
   with my Lord be found.

I'll see Him face to face - faith then
   gives place to sight,
And thus in resurrection bliss I'll
    share His glory bright.

Till then, O Lord, till then, whate'er
     Thy will may be
Come dwell with me until that day
    when I shall dwell with thee.

My heart Thy temple make, let me
   commune with thee.
Until I reach my home above, then
satisfied I'll be.

-William G. McCartney

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in  friendly fire  deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by  E-boats  of the German  Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946  American   servicemen. [1] [2] [3]  The incident was under the strictest secrecy at the time due to the impending invasion,

The Best [poem]

Christ wants the best. He in the far-off ages Once claimed the firstling of the flock, the                 finest of the wheat, And still He asks His own with with gentlest pleading To lay their highest hopes and and brightest                  talents at His feet. He'll not forget the feeblest service,                humblest love; He only asks that of our store we give to Him                The best we have. Christ gives the best. He takes the hearts we offer; And fills them with His glorious beauty,                joy and peace; And in His service as we're growing stronger, The calls to great achievements still increase. The richest gifts for us on earth, or in                 the heavens above, Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we receive                  The best we have. And is our best too much? O friend, let us                 remember  How once our Lord poured out His soul for us, And in the prime of Hi
