For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. Deuteronomy 4:32
What does one do when the first wave goes ashore, but you ain't on it? On this day forty years ago, I waited with my fellow Marines and knew the answer to that question. Scuttlebutt (rumors) run rampant through the unit, gear is checked and rechecked, and you wait for actual news from your commanding officers. We also listened to the radio station in Grenada, sound clips from which you may hear somewhere today, as we waited anxiously.
Yes, it is another tale of the past. As I have endured to the age of 60 now, I seem to be involved more often in groups of old men sitting around telling tales of the past as we await our bright and glorious future. What hope do we have for such a future, one may ask? Well now, there is a tale we can tell also! This tale is of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Ask from one end of heaven to the other, and know this great thing has happened. And He gives us the promise of more great things to come!
In Christ our Lord,
Bucky
