May 30 was the original date for Memorial Day until the change to the last Monday in May to create a three day holiday weekend. However, every day we should be thankful for and remember the sacrifice!Remember Their Sacrifice!

Thank You, Pop!
Thanks to my Dad, Sonny Rodriguez, for his service to our country in the U.S. Navy from 1954-1958. Thanks for your service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from 1987-Eternity. So thankful to know and have the assurance that you went to your eternal home on that sunny Sunday of 05-06-07.
I love you and will meet you there one day!
Seize the Day
My times are in Your hand. —Psalm 31:15
Before entering the broadcasting field, Jim Valvano led the North Carolina State University basketball team to a national championship. Then cancer developed in his lower back. Invited to address the Duke University squad, Jim had this to say,
“Life changes when you least expect it to. The future is uncertain. So, seize this day, seize this moment, and make the most of it.”
God gives us an urgent directive in Hebrews 3:13, “Exhort one another daily, while it is called Today…” Why is there such a strong insistence on today?
It may be that today, this very day, could be the last one in our time here on earth. Today may be your last opportunity to accept God’s gift of salvation, or if you know the Lord already, to share this gift, to share His love with a friend or loved one.
James has this warning about presuming upon our tomorrows: “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (4:14).
Seize the opportunities that God gives you today. That’s sound advice… for all of us.
Redeem the time—God only knows How soon our little life may close;As every passing moment flows,Redeem the time!
Plan as though you’ll be living for a century; live as though you’ll be leaving today.
Today open your ears to hear His voice,
Today open your heart to receive,
Today open your eyes to see,
Today open your mind to know,
Today open your mouth to share,
Today rest in the Lord,
Today exhort one another,
Today partake of Christ.
