"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

They came through with a "W" in the tenth. Some young lady won the corvette and she walked out with it in her hand. A good time was had by all (except the Wichita Wingnuts!)
