Open Our Eyes Lord (Mark 10:46-52)
Presented to the Nipawin Corps 03 May 2009
by Captain Michael Ramsay
.
Captain Holland, Stephen, my friend from Nova Scotia has a story: Stephen and his wife Karen are posted to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. It is a small community, not unlike our own and one day a new lady (named Karen) came to town and called up Stephen’s wife, Karen, and said that she would like to come to church. Well when she got there – Stephen told me – he asked the new lady her name. She said ‘Karen’
‘Karen, that’s my wife’s name,’ said Stephen, ‘Karen, that should be easy to remember.’ So he welcomes her, invites her to have a seat and then goes over to one of the other ladies in the church and asks her to go and introduce herself to the new lady.
‘What’s her name?’ she asks.
‘Debbie’, Stephen answers.
It appears that I am not the only one bad with names.

Time: Lost and Saved (Mark 8:34-9:1)
Time, Talent and Treasure Series, Part 1: Presented to the Swift Current Corps 05 September 2010 by Captain Michael Ramsay
I’ve got a test for us today: Famous Quotes. Let’s see which side can name the speaker of each of the following quotes:[1]
1) “Hi Ho Silver, Away…”
2) “We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto”
3) “I am not a crook”
4) “Living next to you [the Americans] is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”
5) “While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!”
6) “Up, up, and away!”
7) “I’m strong to the finish ‘cause I eat my spinach; I’m _________ the sailor man.”
8) “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but for whoever loses his life for me (and for the gospel) will save it.”
These are all famous quotes from people and in some ways the quotes have even served to summarize the impact the individual had on history. Nixon is famous for his speeches around the time of his resignation. Another little quiz for you: only two American presidents have ever been impeached, can you name them? (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton; Nixon resigned he was never impeached)[2]

Do you have in mind the things of God or the things of man? (Mark 8:31-33)
Presented to Nipawin and Tisdale Corps on March 09, 2008
By Captain Michael Ramsay
.
In the last little while I have performed a few funerals / memorial services both here and in Tisdale. They are all a little bit different, of course. Some have been with the physical remains interred in an urn, others in a coffin and I was a part of one ceremony where the remains of the person were not even present at all. Most people have songs. Many have eulogies. Some people have pictures and I often preach a short homily based on the Holy Scriptures.
Of the ceremonies that I have been a part of in the North East here, none of the passings have really been a surprise and for most of them – even from just a humanistic viewpoint – were a blessing: loved ones don’t need to suffer anymore.
Of course from a Christian viewpoint there is another good part of the memorial or funeral ceremony, the acknowledgement that those that love the Lord will be raised again at the last trumpet and will be a part of the Lord’s kingdom either in Heaven or on the renewed earth.
Even recognizing all of that, you know what, in those last hours, before the dying pass on, when we know the end of their time with us is near and soon they will see the Lord face-to-face – in those last hours – at times we still don’t want to let them go, do we? And because we love them, we fight to keep them here even praying and begging God that they not to leave us.
I think this is some of what Mark is telling us about the Apostle Peter in the Chapter 8. Peter has just had an intimate moment (v.29) with the Lord where he confesses his messiahship and then Jesus tells Peter (v. 31) that he is going to die...
