But that said, words are one of the most important parts of your being. Don't forget Matt. 12:36 because we will be judged for every idle word that proceeds from our mouth. And Matt. 5:37 about letting your yes be yes and no be no because all else is from the evil one.<br />The military has such a strong rep for bad language and I understand they want to desensitize our troop to really bad stuff. I've also seen a lot of people mess up their lives from picking up habits however innocently, that bear fruit forever.<br />God spoke this world into being. Our own words go far in creating our own world. Be careful what you come into agreement with. The enemy of our soul delights in using our own words to destroy us if possible.<br />I could preach on this an hour, but won't.<br />I find a good concordance an excellent tool. Whatever the subject I'm struggling with, memorizing scripture helps defeat the problem. It is a two edged sword (Heb. 4:12) able to divide the thoughts and intents of the heart. God's Word does not return void but accomplishes that which is sent forth to do. You can look that one up.<br />Now, Patrice, thank you for the beautiful editorial about coming in out of the cold over on WND.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-54960492166863845102021-12-21T09:09:47.526-08:002021-12-21T09:09:47.526-08:00My Cousin Andy Wooden is in J;pa9 and is a teacher...My Cousin Andy Wooden is in J;pa9 and is a teacher there.

At 6' tall he thought he was on the smaller side. (You should see the neighbor boys he grew up with). He found he wasn't in the Navy. He always wore his cowboy hat when out and about. He would hear "John Wayne! John Wayne!" with a Koren accent. Funniest thing he commented on was hearing Hoss on Bonanza talk in a higher voice in Korean! (Something about that is just wrong!)<br /><br />Godspeed sailor!Natokadnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335243535171469124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-545550434247697472021-12-19T15:34:09.830-08:002021-12-19T15:34:09.830-08:00Thank you for relaying this update, Patrice.

Been perusing this blog for a long time now, and pray for you peeps.<br /><br />That being said, I'm going to offer up some unsolicited advice, that you ain't gonna like. Ready for it? Too bad cause here it is...<br /><br />Get out of the military as soon as it's an option. Go home to Idaho and hunker down good. I've been monitoring the world situation and its bleak, and getting bleaker. Sometime in the next 5 years, probably much sooner rather than later, all hell is going to break loose. A lot of people are going to die, billions, including a huge chunk of the US military. Peeps will claim I'm unpatriotic for saying it, that it can't happen here, that the US is unbeatable, etc, but that has become untrue these last few years, especially when most of the world is turning on us, and multiple problems are presenting themselves against us at the same time(political, economic, pandemic, famine, environmental, military, etc)<br /><br />Right now, it's time to seek the Lord, and get ready. It's not a matter of if. but when, and time is running out. Don't get stuck half way around the world when it all falls out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-49109406153994178002021-12-19T12:00:34.474-08:002021-12-19T12:00:34.474-08:00What a great update.

The Navy is hurting and you will probably get your first choice. I liked where you are also though it was expensive in the early 80's even on a Chief's pay. I liked that we could get Kobe beef in the club at a very reasonable price. And if you decide to get out and you like your current NEC the civilian world will pay highly for your knowledge and skills.

Sounds like a good life, making the best of Blessings, and making good decisions for future. My Dad was a Navy lifer, and doncha know he cussed like a Sailer!! "pass the *blankity blank* salt!" I don't cuss unless I'm playing Pickleball with better players, and I blame my Dad for my inability to stop cussing whilst playing!
