And now I have found some Gulf War correspondence. You might remember that after a couple of months, Congress passed a law that we no longer needed stamps. So, apparently, I drew my own. Image
I also drew my parents a picture of the Saudi desert. Image
And after the war, drew a sketch of how it went down (this is my Dad's sharpened version of my original): Image
I should have copied @mccaffreyr3, who led us though this. I sketched this right after the war, General.
Also copying @18airbornecorps. Coming up on the 30th anniversary of the Gulf War.

A study of warrior imagery in the New Testament might do the evangelical manhood guys some good. A few texts come to mind (a thread):

1) Let's start with the Beatitudes (Mt. 5:1-12). Blessed are the meek, etc. Remember those?

1/10
2)There there is Mt. 5:39: turn the other cheek. Many evangelical sermons on this verse are expositions about all the times this does not actually apply, because "truth" and "our rights." 2/
3) Let's see, then there is Jesus telling His disciples that two swords was enough. Not sure His tone - whether a rebuke or allowing for self-defense - but one thing is certain: He did not say, "Arm up! Make sure you have twelve swords, plus a few daggers." 3/

I'm Presbyterian but this about to be some big Anglican tweets right now. I found an old letter from my Dad to me in 1989, in which he responded to my question about why he stuck with the Episcopal church, and what he desired me to be. Here are portions of his answer: 1/12
"Most of all, and I stress MOST, I want you to always follow the Christian Way. As far as denominations go, it's true, I prefer that you continue in the family tradition of belonging to the greater Anglican Community." 2/
(Dad grew up at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Summerville, SC - where his ashes will soon be interred. He was very involved as an acolyte, etc):

"By the time I left for the USNA, I had memorized the Morning Prayer and Communion Services from the 1928 Prayer Book." 3/

Weird Bastille Day thread. I went to a French cafe here in Blacksburg today to work on my sermon and do some other work. They were preparing for their annual Bastille Day feast, little French flags everywhere, and as you would expect, this caused a personal crisis. 1/
Three years ago, my family had the privilege of being in Paris on Bastille Day. This was a once in a lifetime trip, made in part to fulfill a promise to @genevalark8 that we would take her to her namesake city, Geneva, home of the Reformation. 2/
We did get there but first by way of London, Brussels (b/c Tintin), and Paris. We were mostly in Paris to see all the art, but happened to be there on July 14th. I love French military history, but the art and the crowds around the parade set our agenda: the Louvre. 3/

Thread: We had an exchange student hosted by several families in our church this summer, and who comes from a non-Christian background. She wrote a letter to our church upon her departure today. She gave me permission to share quotes from it during the sermon. Here are some: 1/7
"I am thankful for those who helped me in many different ways to come visit (your church) in the States.... I also recognize that it must have been Jesus Christ Who led me to this place, for which I am grateful...." 2/7
"I have never heard people pray for one another before. Nor have I attended Sunday Christian worship services or Bible studies. Though I am not proficient in English, I understood enough to be comforted every time someone prayed for me.... " 3/7

Not to enter into the whole social justice debate, but it does seem this reply is a bit defensive or reactionary. Two things are true: 1) the truth of Scripture is objective, available to all (perpescuity); 2) our experiences often affect our interpretations; 1/7 @mika_edmondson
We are not disembodied spirits, able to rise above this earth like some sort of perfect brain in a jar, living in the realm of ideas alone. The things we go through in the body open our eyes to parts of Scripture that otherwise we may have missed. 2/7
This is why Peter, in part, argues from his experience at the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:12). Their decision was based upon Scripture (Acts 15:13-19), but there were events that the Judaizer party needed to hear about in order to interpret Scripture accurately. 3/7
