The Old Windmill
May 14, 2012

A man who grew up on a ranch in West Texas tells about a rickety, old windmill that stood alongside his family’s barn and pumped water to their place. It was the only source of water for miles.

In a strong wind the windmill worked well, but in a light breeze it wouldn’t turn. It required manually turning the vane until the fan faced directly into the wind. Only when properly positioned did the windmill supply water to the ranch.

I think of that story when I meet with pastors from small churches in remote areas. Many feel isolated and unsupported—caregivers for whom no one seems to care. As a consequence, they grow weary and struggle to bring life-giving water to their flock. I like to tell them about the old windmill and our need to daily reposition ourselves—to intentionally turn toward the Lord and His Word and to drink deeply from Him who is the source of living water.

What’s true for pastors is true for all. Service for God flows from within, outward. Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, . . . out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). It’s when God speaks to our depths that we are able to touch the lives of others. To refresh others, let’s return to the Source of life regularly.

When our hearts grow weary,
When our spirits dim,
He will go before us,
Leave it all to Him. —Anon.

When you’re weary in life’s struggles, find strength in the Lord.

Read: Galatians 6:6-10

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. —John 7:38

Thanks for yet another loving tribute to one of our brave heroes who sacrificed all for us....*hand over heart*

".....he was recognized for his use of "novel" strategies and tactics in leading his assault team in overtaking a position held by members of the instructor cadre. The surprised and dumbfounded instructors upon being overrun by Blake's team, asked where he had learned those techniques. Blake's reply was that he had devised them during his days of playing paintball and "Navy Squeals" (a takeoff on the movie Navy SEALS) with his cousins and friends. So impressed with his methods were the staff, that Blake's techniques are now taught to other Marines as part of the curriculum....."

Good morning, Canteen.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

THANK YOU for all you do.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
OMG! What a memorial!
And what a guy.
I pray that God has a special place in heaven for guyz like him.

As I'm reading his story I had a hard seeing the monitor.
And it only reminded me of what my eldest went through.
You gotta love guyz/galz who willing put themselves through hell
in order to help his fellow man.

Happy (belated) Mother's Day to all you mothers out there.
Then, to say that this weekend's weather was ab-so-lute-ly gor-ge-ous!
Went to my parents where we joined most of my siblings
and a few of her grandkids for a cookout.
I got to spend a few hours with my youngest
who was among the grandkids.
The oldest sent me a nice flower arrangement and called me.
So, all in all, a nice Mother's Day.

But first I need to make my rounds
before everyone shows up.
But, you stay right where you are. Cause...............I'll be bock!
