Evening!
Very cool. Thanks
If I were to scoop up a handful of dirt and blow into it, all I would get is a dirty face. When God did it, He got a living, breathing human being capable of thinking, feeling, dreaming, loving, reproducing, and living forever.
As one of these human beings, I speak of “catching” my breath, “holding” my breath, or “saving” my breath, but these are idioms of language. I cannot save my breath for use at a later time. If I don’t use the one I have now, I’ll lose it, and I may even lose consciousness.
When God breathed into Adam, He gave more than life; He gave a reason to live: Worship! As the psalmist said, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Ps. 150:6).
This means that we waste our breath when we use it for something that doesn’t honor the One in whom “we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).
Although we cannot blow life into a handful of dirt, we can use our breath to speak words of comfort, to sing songs of praise, and to run to help the sick and oppressed. When we use our breath to honor our Creator with our unique combination of talents, abilities, and opportunities, we will never be wasting it.
Happy New Year to our wonderful military. May God keep them safe and bless them always.
Good evening!
Sometime in the next 12 to 18 hours my son will be home on leave!!!!
I lost you guys for a bit.
Evening Kathy, Hugs.

The bridge enabled the vehicles involved in Operation Panda Garden to reach the staging area, by covering a canal that would have otherwise obstructed movement.

Boy, I hate waking up six o'clock and it's still dark outside almost as much as looking out the window at seven o'clock and see it's STILL dark. UGH!
And, it's cold again. Thankfully not as cold as some places.
Was that Wednesday wind wicked? (bet you can't say that 10 times real fast -LOL).
Now that I am totally spoiled with being able to sleep in until six, I have to go back to work on Monday.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
