My son was only 10 or 11 years old when he posted this on his closet door in his room. He looked at it every day until he left home for university. He has since graduated with honors from the oldest senior military college in the United States and still never lost sight of this goal. I am so envious and admire his single-mindedness and dogged determination.
Today he walks through the gates of officer training school in Quantico, VA to start his career in the United States Marine Corps, fulfilling a promise he made to himself so many years ago.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.

I’ve been visiting a 90 year old lady that lives near me. When I first met her she was new to the area and very lonely. She’s originally from Spain and raised as Catholic. She has a wonderful strong Spanish accent. She wanted things to read so I brought her the Heavenly Man and a few other Missionary autobiographies. She read them and seemed impressed by them. She did say she didn’t believe in the inerrancy of the Bible so I brought her one on that but she hasn’t read it. Finally yesterday I asked what she thought of the books I’ve given her and she said she didn’t believe they were true. She thinks the authors didn’t tell the truth about their lives. We talked some and I found that she thinks that my relationship with God is a mistake of belief if that makes sense! From what I understand she thinks you can’t have a personal relationship with God.Her name is Carmen I’d appreciate if you would pray for her.
