I hear a lot of people is being
recalled to service these days.? You know, army, navy,
air force, and marines.? They thought they had put in
enough time, and retired, but they found out it was a
blip of an retirement.
I ran into a man who was recalled
the other evening. His General had another need of
him. Maybe General is not the right word. I don't know
just what the right word is at this point in time.?
Maybe by the close of this it will have come to me,
the right words.
I was at this place to feed my
face,? you know food, that I didn't fix myself. For
some reason my chunkier did another silly thing.? I was
trying to get the door to open.? ? This car has those
door locks that snap click lock, and unlock at a
certain shift of the gear knob. Put in park, the door
locks will unlock.? Well this time the thing kind of
bulked.? Here I am with lights flashing, horn on a
toot, and old Willie wondering what next. At last I
gets the door to open, and got the key in the door to
shut this off before the city cops show up.. There was
a few people walking by. They said something,? I
answered about this dumb hunk of junk.? One young
fellow said now you don't say that about a Classic
like that.? I said, a few unkind words about this
car.? We talked on the way to the door? about this
thing.? When we got to the door, a older fellow opened
the door, and all trooped in,? I was last. I stopped
short, the man holding the door, I felt like I should
be holding the door. He was wearing the service man's
clothes. He also was maybe a bit older then I am,
still in service. I never noticed just what his rank
was.? I sometimes don't understand these new markings
of rank.
He said he has been recalled.?
His service is needed one more time. Said he retired a
few years ago, and thought he was all done.? Guess one
never knows, just when the service work is really
done. well his type of service.? We did a lot of
talking while in the line to get a table,? place was
full.? I was kind of in hopes we would be seated close
together,? that was not to be the case.? I would have
liked to talk more with this fine service person.
Later I seen him for a couple
minutes.? I said,? "Sir, I am at a loss, just what
Church are you with?"? He said "The old Church, Church
of Christ."? I had a dumb look on my face for a
minute, Im sure.? He went on in more detail. The last
words were, ? "Church of England, Episcopal." I said,?
"OK, ? now I understand,? the church my favorite
General of all time was a member of.? General Robert
E.Lee" .? He said, ? "yes he believed that was so.?
That is General Lee was of that branch."
So I guess you can say I was
talking to an officer in the Army of the King of
Kings. His services? is needed one more time,? he has
been recalled.? You know I am really wondering, is the
work for the King of Kings really every done. ? One may
even be dead. That is the earth death has taken
place.? I was thinking when I recalled General Robert
E.Lees name. By reading about his life, and actions
and his work he did.? ? He was a real worker in the
Army of the King of Kings many a time. We can all
learn something about being a true Christian by
reading about him.? So is his service still being
used?? He may not really be retired either.
