Packing Heat

Yes, that's right. Light-packer is packing heat! An American friend of mine hooked me up with a Kurdish friend who was trained by US Special Forces who let me shoot his weapons. We drove out to the middle of nowhere and I got to shoot an AK 47 and Glock handgun.

AK 47 semi-automatic. I hit the middle!
My friend said I got lucky. WHATEVER! ;-)

Glock handgun action. Ok, maybe 1 time is luck,
but 2 times means I got skillz!

Love

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Been thinking about love a lot lately. A song based on this scripture by Ginny Owens called "I am Nothing" has also been going through my head. Especially this verse:

I could live a flawless life
Never cheat or steal or lie,
And always speak so kindly, smile so warmly, and go about doing good.
I could dedicate myself to do what everyone else wants me to -
Listen to them, compliment them, say the things I should.
I could show up every Sunday, lead the choir and Bible study
And they all might come to know me as a leader and a friend.
Or I could achieve success on earth, but success cannot define my worth
And all these actions, all these words would not matter in the end.

Chorus:
Songs will fade to silence,
Stories, they will cease.
The dust will settle covering all my selfless deeds.
So as I strive to serve you,
Won't You make it clear to me,
That if I do not love, I am nothing.

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."  1 Corinthians 13:13
