Today's Devotion: Psalm 139:14 (New International Version)
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

The psalmist praises God for his own individual creation. Each one of us is unique and created by God for use as God's instrument. Some of us are created for the ministry, some of us are created to become leaders, some of us are created to become martyrs. God knows us, just as he knew us before we were created. There is nothing about us that it is unknown to him. He knows our love, just as well as he knows our sins. Nothing is hidden. All is up front.

Today's Comments: It is, of course, obvious from this blog that I believe that I have a calling to a ministry for veterans, and I am in the process of attending Talbot to get the education that I need for that ministry. At the same time, more is happening than even I expected. My friend Angie, from the Philippines, and I are working on a mission building project on the Island of Quezon, where she has property that she wants to donate for that purpose. The initial meeting has taken place with Pastor Chito from the ABBCOP, a group of mission organizations in the Philippines. They are interested in using her land for the purpose of building a training center for their mission projects. They will be meeting again in June, probably on site. It is amazing how excited that my son, Chris, is about this project. He thinks that, for my age, it is pretty cool that I am involved in something like this. One of my proposals is that, when the training center is not used, the ABBCOP should make it available to military service members who serve in Southeast Asia.
