Remembering a past war as a new one rages in Europe – By Charles Schokman Image Source : economist Bob fagan was a 21-year-old private from Texas when he plunged from his assault craft into the cold sea off Utah Beach in Normandy, under the rattle of Nazi machinegun fire and air bombardment. “The water was red with blood,” he later recalled. “There were bodies floating all around us.” A fellow member of the 299th combat battalion landing on Omaha Beach had a simpler description: “Hell.” Of the more than 150,000 Allied troops who arrived in Normandy on June 6th 1944, 9,000 were killed or wounded within the first 24 hours. d-Day (which stands simply for day) or Jour j (as it came to be known in France) was a turning-point in the Allied campaign to push back Nazis on the Western Front, liberate France and defeat Hitler’s Germany in 1945.

SUNDAY CHOICE – Loved with Everlasting Love – By Charles Schokman The author of this hymn was George W. Robinson. He based the hymn on Colossians 3:3. (For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.) He is known in hymn history for this one hymn in particular, I Am His and He Is Mine (or Loved with Everlasting Love), published in 1876. He wrote this hymn one year before his death at the age of 39.   I couldn’t find much about Mr. Robinson’s life or death, nor any particular story behind this song.  I don’t know if he died suddenly in a tragic accident, or if he died after an extended battle with illness.  What I do know is that his words reflect a confidence in God.  I really appreciate the confidence that Mr. Robinson speaks of when he talks about whom he belonged to.  His words communicate to me that he ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – I SPEAK JESUS – By Charles Schokman This is the title of a song released by a band called Here Be Lions. The likes of Darlene Zschech helped to propel it to prominence amongst the Christian community in 2021. The first time I heard this song the impact and deep meaning of all the lyrics brought me to my knees. While I may be privileged not to suffer from mental illness, I have worked with a lot of people who do, and this song really makes my heart bleed for them. Check it out on Youtube: See, just like the song – I just want to speak the name of Jesus. I want to speak it over every heart and every mind. The name of Jesus is above all things. He belongs on the thrones of our hearts. He calls us to worship God with everything – to love ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of May 2024 – By Charles Schokman Irene Shand-Len shares with us the miracle of what takes place in the womb during pregnancy. Your First Nine Months! In the first nine months of your biography, you hit major milestones. The road to fertilisation that resulted in your life is a bumpy one. We know the science and can only wonder at the miracle of egg and sperm successfully implanting and conceiving. And then the miracles don’t stop. From the 1st day of conception, cells begin to multiply and burrow into the wall of the womb. The sex of the fetus is already determined. After 15 days the heart and eyes are developing. In just 20 days the brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid and the heart begins to pulse at around 24 days. The heart is one of the earliest differentiated and ...
