Yesterday my wife and I were privileged to be part of our community Memorial Day observance. a large crowd gathered at the Rittman Cemetery at 11 A. M. to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to the families left behind. As i walked around looking at grave stones and watching the flags flying, I was reminded of something that a pastor friend wrote about last week ... how many of those who died in service to our country died without a knowledge of Christ as personal savior? The freedoms that we enjoy in America have come at a price that many have willingly paid so that we are still free.

As Christians, I believe we have a greater responsibility to diligently, with purpose and intent, share Christ with all those with whom we cross paths. Please allow me to challenge you, as I am challenging myself, to give diligence to the lost around us. D. L. Moody once remarked, "Count no man cheap for whom Christ died!"

Just my thoughts ...!
