Sunday Is Coming

Good morning again,

It is that time of the week. I pray all is well with you. If you want us to pray along with you, please let us know.

Today is a special day, one in which we honor those in uniform, past and present. We hope you had a special celebration ceremony to attend as we did here at Sunscape RV Resort. It was tremendous and very moving.

Our servicemen and servicewomen are our friends, laying their lives down for us. They know what they face going in, they know what they have to do. They are heroes to save us all.

“Don’t be a hero!” we say? These guys and gals who wear the uniform of the U.S. are heroes. Not only if they get medals. They are heroes because they go for us. Like our missionaries. We call them heroes because they go in our place, sacrificing all for a great cause! They know what they have to do.

So did Jesus...and He Rose to save us all!

John 15:13-14 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.


May you remember those in uniform, past and present. The Veteran's Day parade float built here in our park said it all: All gave some; some gave all!


Thanks again for your support of our ministry, without your encouragement there are days we would want to quit and return home.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

The Origins of Veteran’s Day
In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. This site, on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River and the city of Washington, became the focal point of reverence for America’s veterans. Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation’s highest place of honor... These memorial gestures all took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day became known as "Armistice Day".... Realizing that peace was equally preserved by veterans of WW II and Korea, Congress was requested to make this day an occasion to honor those who have served America in all wars. In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day.... A law passed in 1968 changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent, however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans. Therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date...
