Road Trip: Naval Magazine Indian Island, Washington

NAVMAG consists of 2,716-acres on Indian Island located in the northeast corner of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula. Naval Magazine Indian Island’s mission is to give ordnance logistics support to the Pacific Fleet and the joint services in peace and war.

After the early 1990’s, NAVMAG was picked to get updated for the efficient trans-shipment of containerized ammunition in the event of mobilization. Getting into the 2000’s, NAVMAG had become the Pacific’s joint ordnance mobilization command, supporting numerous joint exercises designed to test and validate the mobilization of ordnance to the Pacific Theater of operations.

Visitors must coordinate their visit with a representative of Naval Magazine Indian Island and submit all necessary information at least five working days prior to visit.

I like reading about the Navy and seeing photos of the ships.

How much is a subscription to this Naval magazine?

I’ve done work out there. BEAUTIFUL area. Most of the base/island is wooded with some grassy areas. Ponds, creeks, etc. They tell of huge deer on the site (no hunting).

Jesus in Disguise

Bible in a Year : Psalms 87–88; Romans 13

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17

My son Geoff recently participated in a “homeless simulation.” He spent three days and two nights living on the streets of his city, sleeping outside in below freezing temperatures. Without food, money, or shelter, he relied on the kindness of strangers for his basic needs. On one of those days his only food was a sandwich, bought by a man who heard him asking for stale bread at a fast-food restaurant.

Geoff told me later it was one of the hardest things he’d ever done, yet it profoundly impacted his outlook on others. He spent the day after his “simulation” seeking out homeless people who had been kind to him during his time on the street, doing what he could to assist them in simple ways. They were surprised to discover he wasn’t actually homeless and were grateful he cared enough to try to see life through their eyes.

My son’s experience calls to mind Jesus’s words: “I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. . . . Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:36, 40). Whether we give a word of encouragement or a bag of groceries, God calls us to lovingly attend to the needs of others. Our kindness to others is kindness to Him.

By James Banks

Reflect & Pray

What little kindness can you extend to another? When have you been the recipient of another’s kindness?

Dear Jesus, help me to see You in the needs of others today and to love You by loving them.

And a proper, Good evening, radu...allergies giving you fits? Simon staying close?

HOT here. Too busy to faucet shop tonight; maybe Wednesday.

[radu]

And we have a double post here. LOL

I was about to clean my glasses thinking I’d missed it the first time I scrolled down but it was there when I refreshed.

Yes, there have been a couple of times in the past when the wires were crossed. It’s part of life. :-)

[radu]

Yep, the allergies are still raging and will for a couple more weeks until mold spore season winds down. But it’ll be a brief respite. Ragweed season isn’t too far off.
Just one of the things we learn to live with down here. That and the steamy heat. VERY hot and muggy today and tomorrow is supposed to be worse. At least the humidity is supposed to drop the rest of the week. So they say any way. LOL

Simon was here a lot last night and again this morning and evening. It would be nice if he’d stay put instead of wandering.

I figured you wouldn’t get to shop for a new faucet this evening. This was a bad week for it to go kaplooey.

Howdy, Kathy & lauren! (((hugs))) That place looks very interesting. Thanks for the road 🚗 trip, galz!
