FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ GETTING UNDERWAY ~ 18 October 2015
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

GETTING UNDERWAY


A young Ensign, who had just completed his first overseas deployment, was given the opportunity to "show his stuff" by getting his ship underway. As he yelled out commands with great confidence, sailors were running everywhere. In no time, the ship came out of the channel, headed for home. It was accomplished so well that he set a new record for getting a destroyer underway.

He wasn't surprised when a seaman approached him with a message from his CO...he WAS surprised to find that it was a radio message. He was even more surprised as he read, "Bravo Zulu upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules...always make sure the CO is aboard before getting underway".

In our haste to "get underway" daily in this vast ocean that we call "life", let us remember to make sure that God is aboard. It is He who will guide and direct us safely through the storms and rough seas!

CAPT Diana L. Meehan, CHC, USN

To: All


Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

First week at work went well, thanks. The trains have been on time - or pretty close to it.

I rested today - Choir tomorrow.

Yes, on both counts.

Mom is home again, but is very confused and has aphasia. Her personal doctor put her on antibiotics, because that seems to be symptomatic of an infection, every time, even though her blood count doesn’t indicate it right away.

I have had to take a little break from my ministry duties, as i am totally burnt out right now.
