Hi Kathy!
Chuck Yeager was a childhood hero!
Saw some of his record breaking test flights when living near Edwards AFB in '59.

A very interesting character in addition to his heroics.
He was a good friend of Jackie Cochran who he described as a much better pilot than Amelia Earhart.

Look Up! June 15, 2015
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2
In a park near our home theres a trail I enjoy walking on. Along one section theres a panoramic view of red sandstone rocks in the Garden of the Gods with the majestic 14,115-foot Pikes Peak behind them. From time to time, though, I find myself walking that section occupied with some problem and looking down at the wide, smooth trail. If no one is around, I may stop and say aloud, David, look up!
The psalms known as Songs of Ascents (Ps. 120134) were sung by the people of Israel as they walked the road up to Jerusalem to attend the three annual pilgrim festivals. Psalm 121 begins, I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence comes my help? (v. 1). The answer follows, My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (v. 2). The Creator is not an aloof being, but a companion who is always with us, always awake to our circumstances (vv. 3-7), guiding and guarding our journey through life from this time forth, and even forevermore (v. 8).
Along lifes path, how we need to keep our eyes fixed on God, our source of help. When were feeling overwhelmed and discouraged, its all right to say aloud, Look up!
I look up to You, Father, for You are the One who can help me. Thank You for the joys and trials in my life right now. Im grateful that I never walk alone.
Keep your eyes on Godyour source of help.
:
This psalm reminds us that God is our Helper (vv. 1-3) and Keeper (vv. 4-8). As Helper, the Creator of the universe (v. 2) assists us as we journey through life, giving us the security and stability (v. 3) we need. As Keeper, God is the vigilant watchman, fully aware of the events of our lives because He never sleeps (v. 4). This reality allows us to rest in safety and serenity (Ps. 3:5; 4:8; Prov. 3:24).
