A wooden door covered in more than 50 carvings from soldiers garrisoned there from the wars of the French Revolution through the mid-19th century has been discovered at Dover Castle. Graffiti include initials, surnames, dates, a large single-masted sailing ship and nine men hanging from gallows. First built shortly after 1066 to defend the Strait of Dover, the shortest sea crossing between England and mainland Europe and therefore an inestimably valuable strategic position, Dover Castle took its permanent form under Henry II. The great keep, towers, inner and outer baileys were completed by 1188. St. John’s Tower was added under Henry III after 1217. The castle’s fortunes declined in the Civil War period (1642-5), and it began to be used as a prison for captured French and Spanish soldiers in the wars of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. They passed the time carving graffiti on the walls. Dover Castle was revived as a defensive fortress in the Georgian period as tensions rose between Britain and France. A new construction program restored the crumbling buildings and erected new barracks to house infantrymen in the 1750s. Come the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon, military engineers completely redesigned the outer defenses to protect the castle from modern artillery and converted the Great Tower into a massive magazine for gunpowder, shot, shells and other supplies. Thousands of soldiers were garrisoned there. The door with the carvings was originally on an upper floor of St. John’s Tower. During Dover Castle’s revival, it was guarded at all times by six to 12 men, one or two of them manning the top room repurposed as a watchtower because of its a commanding view of the exposed northern flank of the castle. The guards were armed with knives, perhaps bayonets, and they put their sharpened ends to good use decorating the old door. The plank door was rediscovered several years ago. It had long been inaccessible without using a ladder to reach the base of a spiral staircase. Covered in several thick coats of paint, the graffiti were not immediately evident. It was only when the door was removed for conservation and the old paint layers stripped that the engraved treasure they were concealing was revealed. The St John’s Tower door contains around 50 pieces of carved graffiti. These include: three dates: 1789, the date of the French Revolution; 1798, a period of rebuilding in the castle; and 1855, when changes were planned to the tower. There are also many sets of people’s initials and two surnames: Downam and Hopper/Hooper. At least nine contain gruesome illustrations of hangings, a strange and macabre repetition, including one example where a man wears a military uniform and a bicorne hat. It is possible that this could be a depiction of a real hanging, as hangings were known to take place in Dover and did serve as morbid entertainment, or perhaps even a representation of Napoleon himself. Also present is a detailed and accurate carving of single-masted sailing ship, most likely an 8-gun cutter which was a fast vessel used by the Royal Navy, the Revenue Service, smugglers and privateers. Another curious symbol which depicts a glass or chalice for wine, surmounted by an elaborated cross, may be a representation of Christian holy communion. The door was removed from its original location for conservation and stabilization. Old coats of paint, added after the graffiti was carved, were removed. The wood of the door was cleaned and treated for long-term preservation. It will go on display in July at Dover Castle’s new exhibition, Dover Under Siege. In addition to viewing the door, visitors to the exhibition will have the chance to walk the castle’s northern defenses, casements and its medieval and Georgian underground tunnels.

A Prayer to Know You Are Enough Because You Are God'sBy Keri Eichberger "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." – 1 John 4:16 "You are a really good friend," Whitney spoke these words so sincerely I almost believed them for a half second. Yeah, right, I quickly thought. I'm a terrible friend. And right now, I don't feel like a very good mom, wife, daughter, or sister either. I'm not enough for anyone. So many people I love need so much. There's just not enough supply for the demand. I'm beaten down from trying to be everyone's hero, but somehow, it seems it's never enough. I'm not enough. If Whitney really got to know me, she'd find me out. I was certain. Anyway, being her friend was easy. She lives 400 miles away and our relationship has consisted of back-and-forth video chats squeezed in at convenience. It's manageable and always enjoyable. We share life updates–the good, hard, and lots in between–and encourage each other with God‘s rich truths. Our connection really has blessed me incredibly. And Whitney has expressed the same sentiments in return. Such a gift. But this friendship is never an interruption or strain to my schedule like the demands of my local people who actually need face-time, meals cooked, counseling sessions, my attendance at their hundred ball games a week, my focused presence. So much of me.  I'm sure my friend Allison, whose husband was recently diagnosed with cancer, wouldn’t give me an A+ plus for friendship or mastering the mark of enough. For her, I was all in at the peak of the crisis, but with five kids and a husband who are collectively more than an 80-hour work week, I haven't been able to be all I want for my dear friend or anyone else I've wanted to connect with and help for that matter. It's true. I'm certainly not enough. For anyone. Have you ever felt like you're falling short of the needs around you? Or that you just aren't enough? I really do struggle with this. And my greater internal turmoil is that I know who God is, and what he says about me and each of his children. That he is love. That He loves us. He lives in us. With a love greater than we can possibly imagine, and not based on what we do, but because of who he is and our faith in him. Which means, we most certainly are enough in God's eyes. And shouldn't that be what really matters?  The answer is yes, and that's my main mess within. God's perspective should matter, but that's not what my life has been saying lately. Friend, I need this reminder today as much as anyone-that we are more than enough to the one who matters-to God. The truth is, we may never be enough for someone else. And truly, it isn't our job to be. That's God‘s job. He loves when we love on and serve others, and we should keep doing that. But God knows we have limits. We can't be enough for everyone or anyone. Only God can do that. You will certainly be a blessing to those he puts in your path, even if it feels like you only have tiny crumbs to offer. God uses it. Like the encouraging words I lend Whitney in our "Marco Polo" chats. Yes, you won't be everything to everyone, but you are certainly a treasure to those you serve. Each of us in unique ways according to our gifts and talents. And we can't compare our enoughness to someone else's seeming service. We need to know that our role in their life is much more significant than we realize. And know that God is pleased. You and I, human beings, you and I, can't fill and supply all that's needed by our friends, our spouse, kids, parents, our people. Only God will be enough for them. Keep pointing to him with your love in the way the Lord equips you. And know that is enough. You are enough. Simply because... you are his. I hope you will rest your heart and soul with me today in your priceless value and unconditional worth. Rest in the truth that you are enough in him. Let's pray: Father God, The world around me has so much need. Every person in my life has a never-ending list of ongoing needs. A list I try to take on, and then find myself falling short. Until I'm faced with feelings of not being enough. Lord, help me release the burden of believing I have to be enough for everyone in my path. Help me love my people and take on what you will for me, but remind me that only you are enough for each needy soul. Just as only you are enough for me. Lord, thank you for being enough for all your children. And help me never forget that I am also enough in your eyes. Unconditionally. Because I accepted your son as my savior, you accept me just as I am. Whether I feel like I am enough today or not, you are the truth that says I am. Always. And that is what matters most. Thank you for accepting me and for the fullness of your love.In Jesus' name, Amen. Photo credit: ©GettyImages/Ben Roberts Photography Keri Eichberger is a Jesus-loving Kentucky girl.

Avoiding the Deadly Danger of False Teaching For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. – 2 Timothy 4:3 Many years ago there was a terrible railroad accident in the Eastern U.S. that claimed many lives and caused even more terrible injuries. A train loaded with young people was stalled on the track, and another train was just a few minutes behind it, traveling at full speed. A flagman was sent back to warn the oncoming train's engineer in order to avert a collision. Suddenly, the whistle of the oncoming train was heard just seconds before it crashed into the sitting train. The engineer of the oncoming train jumped out to save his life, but was then brought into court for his part in the tragedy. When asked why he didn't stop when he saw the flagman waving the red flag, the engineer was adamant that he saw the flagman waving a yellow flag, which communicates "slow down" instead of "stop." When the flag was produced in court, the problem became evident. The "red flag" had faded over time to a dirty yellow, a slight change in color costing many lives. How many lives have been eternally wrecked by the "yellow" preaching of self-betterment and feel-good faith that really misses the biblical gospel? Don't wave the yellow flag of a more palatable message. Wave the red, blood-soaked flag of the cross of Christ and show others the real way to eternal life! Prayer Challenge Ask God to give you the courage to share the full message of Jesus Christ with others. Questions for Thought Why do you think it's easy for many to shrink back from sharing the real message of the gospel? What steps can you take to be better sharpened to share the message of Christ with others?  Visit the Senior Living Ministries website Visit the Senior Living Ministries website The post Avoiding the Deadly Danger of False Teaching – Senior Living – May 28 appeared first on GodUpdates.
