COT:
Paul and Silas. Entered Europe for the first time sharing the Good News. They were imprisoned in Philippi because they delivered a girl from divination. Beaten, falsly accused, and thrown in the inner most cell of the prison. What did they do there? They: 1. Sang hymns of praise to God 2. Prayed. About midnight God created an earthquake by which they were freed but chose instead to stay and witness to the jailer who was saved. If you find yourself in a bad spot have a song that you can sing. We can sing within the jail cells of life. Prayer for each man.

COT: On May 10, 1994 Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa — overcoming 27 years of imprisonment and discrimination to lead a revolution in his country. Of his experience, he said: ““I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” If you’re in a difficult situation, do not give into the fear and trepidation, but push through it.

COT:

Dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.
The previous April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne. Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.
After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said. “Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”
