So often, when someone passes away, we say things like “You’ll see them again in Heaven” or “You know they are looking down on you.” These are comforting thoughts. I’ve said these same things.

While I realize that the true focus of Christian Faith must always be on Jesus Christ, I do wish we knew more about the Apostles. Each was chosen by Jesus for a particular reason. If we knew more about them, perhaps we might understand better why each was selected. What did they have to offer? And we just might be able to see a bit of ourselves in them.

Today is National Navy Day, not to be confused with the US Navy’s actual birthday, which is October 13. So why is Navy Day not celebrated on the Navy’s birthday? Navy Day was established on October 27, 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. It is in recognition of Theodore Roosevelt’s Birthday.
