For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...

Support The United States Armed Forces Today!

	CHAPLAINS DIARY Chaplain Searle is deployed to OSAN AB, So. Korea for a year. He shared with me via email the following incident in the missionary ministry the Lord has given him in your Air Force. Please remember Tom in prayer as well as your other military chaplains who share similar opportunities to touch lives with the love of the Lord. I just got out of a counseling situation a few minutes ago that I wanted to share. A young man from the one of my squadrons just found out that his older brother hanged himself and the First Sergeant called to bring him by. As the young man and I were talking, I asked if he was feeling overwhelmed with emotion and grief. He said that this was not all he was dealing with. He continued to tell me that he has been back from his mid-tour leave for 6 days, and while he was home his wife told him that she wanted a divorce. They have two children. He also has a tumor that needs to be removed which is undergoing some testing, he is trying to cancel his follow-on assignment to Aviano so he can get back to the states and try to work through his family situation. That may or may not go through. He is also having trouble getting a promotion testing date. Needless to say, he said that everywhere he turns, there is no hope. I asked if he had turned upwards, and he nodded his head and said that's what he needed. I gave him a bible and when I asked if I could pray with him, he said "I really need it" and put his arms around me and cried on my shoulder as we prayed. His supervisor was in the office with us and cried also. These are tough blue collar men! What a privilege it is to stand in the place of Jesus and offer His compassion and hope to people who have nowhere else to turn. We have the truth, the light, the joy, the hope; but it seems that so often people are not willing to accept it until their pain drives them to it. Just a quick snapshot of how my day ended. God's blessings to you, Chaplain Tom Searle (USAF)

We are working on names for the pups or at
least starting a list of names.
Needing 2 female names 1 male name.


I only wish that We could have saved more in the litter.

Lesions to learn is that you need to look
for a good vet Way in advance.
I thought I had a good one, until I saw for
myself. 3 out of 10 survival is
not a good example. *

Female names so far:

Star

Liberty (Libby for short)




Male names so far:

Sarge

MOAB (like the Bomb)

Captain

Lewis B.

(Although Puller was well-knowing for his bravery
and medals, it was his reputation as
a leader that made him a legend.
He was always out in front with his men in the
thick of the fight,

whether it was with the enemy or the bureaucracy.
he made their welfare his greatest interest. And he always inspired them to follow
his example and give everything they had.)

Just got back last night at 7:30 p.m. from the first phase of Adult Scout training since Thursday early morning. Scouting is one of my "Agape" families and am I pumped up. I have a session this coming Saturday and the another Thursday through Saturday retreat the week after that.

The site where we had the retreat was a mountain top scout camp and at the Camp open air chapel, a sight really touched me. Let me explain; The Chapel sits on a U shaped outcropping on the mountain with wooded gully 6-10 foot deep on both sides and in front. At the front behind the alter platform are three trees that for appear as the three crosses of Gethsemane. When they had a serious fire on the mountain the three gullies and the trees were all super charred black by the flames but, not the three trees at the alter or anything in the chapel was even touched. It was almost as if the chapel was wrapped in the protecting arms of God held back the flames. We were told by the fire fighters that the gullies were the hottest part of the fire and they could they not explain why the chapel was not touched in any way.

Good Morning troops!! Good Morning everyone! Here is today's humor attempt!

At one Army base, the annual trip to the rifle range had been canceled for the second year in a row, but the semi-annual physical fitness test was still on as planned.

One soldier mused, "Does it bother anyone else that the Army doesn't seem to care how well we can shoot, but they are extremely interested in how fast we can run?"

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

A regular customer walks into the bar and says, "Bartender, one round for everyone, on me!"

The bartender says, "Well, seems you're in a really good mood tonight."

The man replies, "I sure am! Yesterday I was hired by the city to go around and collect money from the parking meters!"
The bartender congratulates the man and proceeds to pour the round.

The next night the same man walks back in, "Bartender, TWO rounds for everyone, on me!"

The bartender says, "If you're so happy just over having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you'll be when you getyour first paycheck!"

With a wondrous look on his face, the man pulls out a handful of quarters from his pocket and says, "You mean they're gonna PAY me too?"
