Genesis 2:1 So the heavens and the earth and everything in them were completed. 3. How many angels exist? Revelation 5:11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands. 4. When did Satan fall? 1 John 3:8 The one who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the devil's works. Next Steps I need the Gospel to make me pure today. I need the Gospel to keep me pure this week.

In 1993 Sergeant Keni Thomas was deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia with the 3rd Ranger Battalion as part of an elite special operations. The mission was to find and capture a criminal warlord named Mohammed Farrah Aideed. Keni and his fellow rangers distinguished themselves in an 18-hour fire-fight that was recounted in the highly successful book and movie, “Blackhawk Down”. 19 Americans gave their lives and 78 were wounded in the worst urban combat seen by US troops since WWII. Drawing from his experiences on the battlefield, Keni inspires people to achieve greatness by stressing the importance of outstanding leadership at every level, even if the only person you are leading is yourself. His message of Train as you fight - Fight as you train and Lead By Example epitomizes the Ranger motto “Rangers Lead the Way!” He believes Leadership has never been about the rank or the position you hold. It's about the example you set. Please join us Thursday to hear a courageous and wise leader.

More than a gifted musician, Keni possesses an exceptional personal story that is uniquely inspiring. He is a decorated combat veteran of the elite 75th Ranger Rgt special operations unit. As a military analyst, he has made numerous appearances on every major television network including a featured story on Good Morning America and specials on The History and Discovery channels. He is regularly booked as a keynote speaker for corporations and organizations around the nation sharing his motivating story of teamwork and leadership. Keni is an Army Ranger who fought in the battle portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down.

Hang in there, Karl will be right back with Keni Thomas' "Send Me".   GallantFew, Inc is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to reducing Veteran unemployment, homelessness and suicide. Today's scheduled guest is Rob Kulessa, a veteran with service in the venerable 3/187 "Rakkasans", 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).  Rob has always held veterans issues close to his heart.  He gained entry into the 2013 Ironman Lake Placid race and decided to a "Your Journey, Your Cause" to support GallantFew.   For those unaware, the Ironman is a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike and ended with with a 26.2 mile marathon run for a total of 140.6 miles.  This must be completed in under 17 hours for the athlete to earn the title "Ironman". Rob probably doesn't want me adding this, but I am anyway. Rob lost his entire home in Hurricane Sandy yet still has put his effort into supporting other veterans - even over his own needs. Rob has some really awesome plans to include some Rangers and awesome physical conditioning training into his final preparations for the Ironman - learn about this, see if you can also get involved. Rob's company is the RWK Agency, specializing in employee benefits.
