Heads up, Luvvie Sue. Tonight at 9:15 PM (PDT), TCM is running “The Great Locomotive Chase” from 1956, a classic Disney film with Fess Parker. I haven’t seen it in 59 years, so it should be fun.

Hi, Luv....no driving. One of my co-workers drove me to and fro, and will do the same on surgery days.
I think I’ve reached the time to go lie down and close my eyes.
Be back later.

The Fourth of July was never the same after Vietnam. One night we had to move a couple hundred yards to get to a safe zone while B52s unloaded over 300 tons of special delivery to Charley. Coming in of operations we would throw all our smoke grenades for quite a color display. We would set off all our star clusters for fireworks. Watching others do it in a park was not quite the same. It was quite an exciting period for a kid.

Always. We live across from a “living history museum” where the symphony plays patriotic songs and they wrap up with fireworks. We’ll have the family over for a cookout and then relax on the deck for a free fireworks concert.

Hiya Ma, glad your eye operations are soon.
You'll see better than ever before. But it will take your brain a bit to get used to the new, improved eyesight.
The time between your first eye getting fixed and the next will be an adjustment period.
After the 2nd eye gets fixed, your brain will be like:
"Woo-Hoo, now we can get back to normal!"
You'll love the results.

A Letter from the Battlefield
July 3, 2015
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7
For more than two decades, Andrew Carroll has been urging people not to throw away the letters written by family members or friends during a time of war. Carroll, director of the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University in California, considers them an irreplaceable link to tie families together and open a door of understanding. Younger generations are reading these letters, Carroll says, and asking questions and saying, Now I understand what you endured, what you sacrificed.
When the apostle Paul was imprisoned in Rome and knew his life would soon end, he wrote a letter to a young man whom he considered a son in the faith, Timothy. Like a soldier on the battlefield, Paul opened his heart to him: The time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing (2 Tim. 4:6-8).
When we read the letters in the Bible that the heroes of the Christian faith have left for us and grasp what they endured because of their love for Christ, we gain courage to follow their example and to stand strong for those who come after us.
Lord, give us strength for the spiritual battles we face today, knowing that You have won the ultimate victory and that we will one day live eternally with You.
Run the race with eternity in view.
:
Titus and 1 Timothy were probably written after the apostle Paul was released from house arrest in Rome (ad 61-62) and during his fourth missionary journey (ad 6263; see Acts 28:30-31). When persecution broke out under Emperor Nero, Paul was imprisoned again. During this second Roman imprisonment, Paul wrote 2 Timothy (ad 65-67). This time he knew his death was imminent (4:6-7). Paul warns that a time is coming when Christians will not endure sound doctrine and will turn away from the truth (vv. 3-7). To counter false teaching, Timothy is to preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching (v. 2).

Going OK. Rain in parts of the state.
There is a fireworks display tomorrow night here in town, but I go to sleep at sunset so I'll probably sleep through it.
