    In memory of U.S. Marine Cpl. Albert Gettings. – Marine team leader whose team came under fire in Al Fallujah Iraq during OIF. After Corporal Gettings was wounded in the initial volley suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen he stood and returned fire while his fellow marine moved to a safer position. He provided suppressive fire to cover his teams movement to engage the enemy and refused to be evacuated while his team was in moving to a better position.

    Psalm 16: Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
    I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
        I have no good apart from you.”

    As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
        in whom is all my delight.[b]

    The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply;
        their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
        or take their names on my lips.

    The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
        you hold my lot.
    The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
        indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

    I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
        in the night also my heart instructs me.[d]
    I have set the Lord always before me;
        because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

    Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e] rejoices;
        my flesh also dwells secure.
    10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
        or let your holy one see corruption.[f]

    11 You make known to me the path of life;
        in your presence there is fullness of joy;
        at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

    If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the Glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied, it is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world you soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great. – John Piper
