What Do You Think About?

By Gabriel Smith gabrielsmithpro@gmail.com Thinking. It seems like at times it is a blessing and at other times it is a burden. Our minds are filled with wild thoughts. For some of us thoughts of doubts of our worth, our will to live, or even doubts in God can cloud our minds. And then on top of that we find ourselves dealing with anxiety, hate, decisions and other crazy things. For some the fight may be with things like suicide. Thoughts of darkness overwhelm our minds. And it is easy to get depressed. Do you often just stop to think about Jesus? Really though, do you ever just stop and think about Jesus. Just think about how amazing what He did was and how much He loves us? I mean really think about it, lived in perfection. He was the commander of angel armies, He lived in the most perfect place there is. Yet he would give that all up willingly to come to earth in the form of a man.

(Nehemiah 8:8-12)

Custer splits his men into three groups one led by a man named Reno and another led by a man named Benteen. Benteen, he sent around behind the village in a large sweeping motion, we can assume to stop any of their opponents from escaping, Reno, he sent in a legendary direct charge against the village. As the events unfolded Custer himself takes another route and begins to follow a band of fleeing women and children, we can assume in hopes of capturing them and using them as hostages to stop any further bloodshed and bring the battle to a swift end. Custer instead found himself under attack, he ordered his men to fall back to a hill, most likely in hopes that Reno and Benteen would arrive. It was a smart idea really, taking the high ground is normally tactically a good pl
