Honoring My Fellow Veterans

It’s the 11TH day of the 11TH month – Veterans Day here in the U.S.A.

I was employed by the United States Air Force for almost 40 years – going back to when I first signed on the dotted line of the delayed enlistment program near the start of my senior year in high school in 1984. I was hesitant in joining the military way back then, but it all turned out just right, and it became my career – both military and civilian. I’m enjoying retirement now.

To my fellow Veterans – this is our day. From one Veteran to all of you – I thank you for serving your nation, so that we may be free indeed.

Veterans – Get the help that you need at VA.GOV.

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date November 10, 2024

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday November 10TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

This past Tuesday night at our biweekly Men’s Fellowship at my home church we enjoyed great conversation, delicious food, and nourishment for the soul via God’s Word in Titus 3:1-6:

Do What Is Good

Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient – always ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead – they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.

Once – we too were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

But – when God our Savior revealed His kindness and love – He saved us – not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins – giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.

18 years and 3 months into my fantastic journey – I still need that reminder. Living in this world we must not be of this world – where disobedience, slander, quarrels, harshness, arrogance, foolishness, lust, pleasures, evil, envy, and hate thrives. And in the 3RD paragraph above (Titus 3:4-6) – God’s Word reveals what He did for me on that 3RD week of August of 2006.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Start Of An Era

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date November 7, 2024

Welcome back to #TravelThursday. Last week I wrote about the demise of my 2020 Honda Civic and the end of an era – my nearly 10-year association with the Honda Civic family.

8 days after the collision that caused the totaling of my 4-year-old car – I bought a new car – a 2025 Kia K4 LX !

Fun Fact: Before I joined the Honda Civic family – I was a longtime part of the Saturn family. I leased a new 1997 SL1. And then I leased a new 2001 SC2. And then I bought a new 2003 Ion 3. I kept that last car longer than any previous car in my lifetime – 11½ years. So – I drove 3 different Saturn cars over the course of nearly 18 years.

And now I’m a member of the Kia family. When I still had that last Saturn, and I was shopping for my next new car (knowing that Saturn no longer existed) – the 2015 Kia Forte was actually on my short list of cars to test drive and buy. Also on that list – the 2015 Ford Focus, the 2015 Toyota Corolla, and the 2015 Honda Civic. (You now know how that turned out.)

So – I paid cash for my new 2025 Kia K4. (I actually wrote a check for the full amount. I’m probably the youngest person that I know that still writes checks.)

I love my new car. It’s got all of the modern technology that I’ve always wanted in a new car – most notably SiriusXM. I’ve been listening at home since 2005, but I’ve never had a car with it included. (Recently – I’d been listening via their app on my iPhone through my car’s Bluetooth.)

It’s also my first car with no key – just a fob. And it’s got a button to push to start and stop the engine. But what I really love about my new car (besides the new car smell) – is the compass, latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes, and seconds) and elevation of where I’m at. I’m looking forward to my first extended road-trip in it.

Next #TravelThursday – I’ll write about my fun day at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki. Let’s keep traveling together.

#CountUp & #TravelThursday is on Facebook. I usually post there on Mondays and Thursdays.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 403

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date November 4, 2024

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday November 03RD 2024 – the 403RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	7	Worship Through It [2ND week @ # 1]	Tasha Layton Ft. Chris Brown
2	2	11	Up + Up	Colton Dixon
3	3	12	Do It Again	Steven Curtis Chapman
4	4	3	Place In This World	for King + Country Ft. Michael W. Smith
5	10	2	Somebody Prayed	Crowder
6	7	8	That’s Who I Praise	Brandon Lake
7	8	5	Love’s Got A Way	Andrew Ripp
8	9	3	If I Got Jesus	Ben Fuller
9	–	1	Let It Begin	Big Daddy Weave
10	5	13	Count ‘Em	Brandon Lake

# 1 This Week In:
2023 – “I Thank God” – Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship

2020 – “Rise Up (Lazarus)” – Cain
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Different” – Micah Tyler

BIG DADDY WEAVE – It took a while to get here (6+ months), but #BDW are back on my chart with their current song – “Let It Begin”. It’s their 7TH hit in 7 years, and it’s currently Top 10 nationwide at U.S. Christian music radio. It’s a song to God that reminds us that there’s a river that delivers us to freedom. And the current of His mercy brings restoration. If our wounds could tell one story – then let it be a testimony. Lord – You don’t leave us where we’ve been. If this is healing – then let it begin.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. God used loud music on the radio to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
