Honor to Whom Honor is Due

(From the The Flora Christian, November 16, 2007 edition)

I was honored to plan and participate in the Veteran’s Day service at FCC this past Sunday. Once again, I am glad I had the chance to say, “Thank you,” to those of you who have served in our nation’s military. Our veterans know that they have served this nation with honor and distinction, and they know how important that is in the world today. It reminds me of this quote by former President Ronald Reagan, “Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.”

We will have FISH groups for the next three Sunday evenings, and then break from December 9 until January 6. Make sure you mark your calendars for several important dates here at FCC:
1. November 25—Bret Koontz preaching in both morning services
2. December 9—Congregational potluck meal and Annual Meeting
3. December 16—FISH Group Christmas Caroling
4. December 24—Christmas Eve service

More information on these events will come in the next few weeks. Make sure you plan on being part of these and all FCC events.

See you Sunday! Rob

Just leaving my 2 cents (now worth 1/2 a penny) - I really like Huckabee for President. I seriously doubt he has much of a chance but I like him anyway.

Like your site.

Couldn't agree more. I have cooled on Thompson lately since he looks dead (literally). I am wondering, is a vote for an underdog the same as half a vote for the favorite?

Rob,
It is important to remember our vet's! We have too many people who forget the sacrafices made.

Thanks for your blog,
Brian
