When he showed the memorial I cried because it’s so sad that some the soldiers that leave their families for months will end up leaving them forever and they won’t get to say goodbye 😢

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️

Interesting video, that’s cool that you’re able to highlight their work. Also, I’ve noticed how great your video production has become. This whole episode feels, sounds, looks like a TV-quality production. Well done y’all 👏

[@AustenAlexander]

Thanks James! We've invested in a new cinema cam! Prepare for more tv quality production :)

[@timplumey-fl5xn]

Oh, wow Austen, this brings me back to the days when I went through EOD School (1981), only I went back in the days when the Chemical Phase was at Redstone Arsenal AL. and Surface and IED's were at Indianhead Maryland. I still remember going through the chem phase in July losing 20 lbs. of water in the Butel Rubber suits (we called them Brutal Rubber suits along with a very uncomfortable M9 Mask) packaging a live leaking Mustard round. And Surface Phase at Indianhead in the dead of winter out on Stump Neck Point at the demo range with the Atlantic on one side and the Potomac on the other, wind and snow blowing 90 out nothing. Lucky IED's back then was mostly in classroom. Today it is much more sophisticated and intense for good reason. I am happy that the school has now been moved to Eglin AFB, at least the winters are milder. I hope to be at the EOD Banquet this coming year and see some of my old soldiers from back in the day. Too bad they didn't allow you to really blow something up, because once you do it's like having sex you just can't get enough and want more.

I respect and hold and high esteem all that serve whether it be arming Navy Air Force or Marine yes you all band together as a team that's good as one working together but I know that when you're alone you think of your family and friends that you left behind you think about the things you used to do together you think have they forgotten about me there's an older woman feeling I'm loneliness for family and friends and loved ones as for me I look at it from another perspective they train you give you three meals a day if that 20 hours you work 4 hours you sleep and if anything happens to any of you what does the family get a flag and some beautiful platitudes but that does not fill the holes and the need for that loved one that was lost whether it be mother father sister brother fiance wife that's why it doesn't mean anything to them it's not going to bring that loved one back and the United armed services will put another person in that position so at the end of the day you all know what you're signing up for you signing up your family too that's deep and very profound but I respect it I don't have to like it or agree with it and I don't I think about those families all the time
