"AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS"

Matthew 28:20

One morning I stood on the bluffs overlooking the coast at Camp Pendleton. I spied an amphibious naval vessel just off shore. As I stood watching, it came into full view, then disappeared as the early morning fog came and went. The ship was always there, but it was only visible part of the time.

It spoke to me of the reality of God's presence. The truth is God is always there, but our changing moods affect our ability to see. It's good days and bad days again, or would you believe, it can change moment by moment. In the times when vision is less clear, it's truly faith that helps us see and enables us to believe enough to keep trying.

So, live by faith. Trust in the Lord and keep looking ahead. God is with us in the confusion of life.

CAPT R. C. Brooks, CHC, USNR

Good Sunday afternoon, EGC! I am doing quite well...and yourself?

Hope your whole family are well....especially Chuck.

Has the weather been nice? My son says that his yard is
looking really green from all the rain in the OKC area.

Chuck's doing OK. We had some guests yesterday. My sister-in-law and neice came up from Texas. Went up to the Northern part of the state to visit her relatives.

Came down here for a one day visit and now they're now on their way back to Texas.

I did go town yesterday to get some more dog bones for Bo. Also got some flea tick removal tubes.

Our grass looks a little bit green from all the rain we got last week. There's some more rain in the forecast.

Hey..
Be careful out in that heat, ok?
I’m drinking “smart water”
It has eletrolites in it..
Perfect for a hot day!
I like it better than Gatorade!
Bleah!

A beer sounds pretty good!
I don’t mind Gatorade, really.
I like the “blue” colored one.
I’d rather have plain old water!
The water from our well is awesome!
(and very cold!)
LOL
