Ooooops! Wrong date in the title.
What a day, LOL!
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” Quoting those words of St. Catherine of Siena, the Bishop of London began his message to Prince William and Kate Middleton at their wedding in Westminster Abbey. Many watching on TV were deeply touched as the bishop affirmed their choice “to be married in the sight of a generous God who so loved the world that He gave Himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ.” Then he urged the couple to pursue a love that finds its center beyond themselves.
From Romans 12, the bride’s brother read: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect” (vv.1-2 NRSV).
That royal wedding reminds us all, single or married, of two great truths: (1) God’s great love for us expressed in the sacrifice of Jesus and (2) God’s desire that we find life’s greatest joy and transformation in our relationship with Him. Aren’t those the keys to becoming the persons God meant us to be?
Read: Romans 12:1-2,9-18

Funny to have the picture of the Drum Major. Their Band was deactivated in February, along with the one at 29 Palms.

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
I don't remember ever hearing about this base.
But then I could be having a "senior" moment.
~ Today...Widespread showers
and scattered thunderstorms this morning...
Then partly sunny with a chance of showers
with a slight chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
Highs in the lower 80s.
Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
Chance of rain near 100 percent.
~ Tonight...Mostly cloudy.
A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening.
Lows in the lower 60s.
West winds 5 to 10 mph...
Becoming north after midnight.
Chance of rain 20 percent.
Fingers crossed that this morning won't be as hectic as yesterday.
It's raining, so no morning walk,
which means a little more time at the Canteen.
Time to make my rounds before others show up and want something.
Please stay.
Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!
The FR Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee,
tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
