Good evening, Army Bro!
Please take note of the gap between Post #2 and my Post #3. I gave you every chance Brother.
I'm not sure what type of team the Fish Factory on the Severn will field this year - they seem a little spotty.

Slow moving freight train....at least didn’t have to do the stop and go thing.
I’m looking out the window at work...stopped traffic and red taillights as far as I can see down the road.

Web Wisdom August 4, 2015
A quarrelsome person starts fights as easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.
Proverbs 26:21 nlt
Scroll to the bottom of many online news sites and youll find the Comments section where readers can leave their observations. Even the most reputable sites have no shortage of rude rants, uninformed insults, and name-calling.
The book of Proverbs was collected about 3,000 years ago, but its timeless wisdom is as up-to-date as todays breaking news. Two proverbs in chapter 26 seem at first glance to contradict each other, yet they apply perfectly to social media. Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him (v. 4). And then, Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes (v. 5).
The balance in those statements is in the according to: Dont answer in the way a fool would answer. But respond so that foolishness is not considered wisdom.
My problem is that the foolishness I encounter is often my own. I have at times posted a sarcastic comment or turned someone elses statement back on them. God hates it when I treat my fellow human beings with such disrespect, even when theyre also being foolish.
God gives us an amazing range of freedoms. We are free to choose what we will say, and when and how we say it. And we are always free to ask Him for wisdom.
Things to keep in mind: Is what I am saying true, and is it loving? What is my motivation? Will it help anyone? Will this reflect the character of Jesus?
Leave your thoughts about this topic.
Let love be your highest goal.
The Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon) is Hebrew poetry that uses a variety of poetic devices. In todays reading, metaphors and analogies are used. The foolish person is compared to weather that is inappropriate for the season (v. 1), an animal that needs to be constrained (v. 3), a leg that is useless (v. 7), and a sling that is powerless (v. 8). These comparisons warn about the self-destructive nature of foolish choices. Bill Crowder

It seems like you're toying with me, Navy Bro :-)
Indeed another football season is almost upon us.
It will be fun to watch and see where Army and Navy are at the end of the season for the big game.
Navy spotty, huh; well we ain't won lately.
Have a good week, Conor!

Home sweet home. Just remember that the planes at Buckley belong to the Colorado Air National Guard. The 140th, one of the best guard units in the country. Need something blowed up, built from scratch or maintained? Ask for us by name
