Hi Omsfalcon,

Nice looking post!

I really like these simple acronyms.

God Bless you,

David

No,

It is one of my favorites, I heard it a few years ago.

But it did just come to me to post it in this thread.

I had some really good ones written in the margins of another Bible (NASB) that I used to use but Im not sure where it is right now.

I do like them but I don't think them up. I spend my time thinking about THEOLOGY.

God Bless you,

David

PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens

A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room
filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work
for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The
Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his
might. So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled
from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold,
massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might.
Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling
that his whole day had been spent in
vain.

Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan)
decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind:
"You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it
hasn't moved." Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was
impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and
disheartened the man. Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just
put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be
good enough."

That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a
matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. "Lord,"
he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my
strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I
have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong?
Why am I failing?

The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to
serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push
against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never
once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task
was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent,
thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? Look at
yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and
brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have
become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and
your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. True, you
haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to
push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you
have done.

Now I, my friend, will move the rock."

At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own
intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is
just a simple obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the
faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves
the mountains. When everything seems to go wrong ... just

P.U.S.H.!
When the job gets you down ... just
P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think
they should ...
just P.U.S.H.!
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due ... 
just P.U.S.H!
when people just don't understand you ...
just P.U.S.H.!

P= Pray
U= Until
S= Something
H= Happens

Amen Amy,

I am a Navy vet myself, from 1954 to 58. Not very long in time but it was sure an exciting life while it lasted.

I bet it was.     My brother would've stayed in longer, but had a CO who messed up his promotions and he realized he'd never get too far in there.  [however that works...I don't know.]   My bro was a 'nuke'--total brainiac-- and a quiet man.    I think he intimidated that guy or something.    He did enjoy seeing lots of the world, but there were aspects that of course, could've been better.     He re-upped several times, too, so it must not have been too horrible.   [plus they gave him tons of money. :) ]

What position did you have?     I think bro was an E-5?   Electrician's mate.     He still had to go through apprentice-ship to be an electrician after he got out.    That was AFTER working for a few years in San Diego--as an electrician.    His stint as one in the Navy didn't mean diddly on the outside.   Weird, huh.

I was an aviation electronics technician or what they referred to as an AT2. I was in the flying part of the Navy, Amy. Finished my career as a flight crewmember on those four engine Super Connies with the "pregnant" belly and the large hump on the top of the plane that were used for "radar picket duty" over the Arctic and the far north. I flew many of those 18 hour "radar runs". 8 hours actually in the air, four hours preflight and six hours postflight. We supplied some other services while in the air, which are STILL classified even after all these years.
