A year ago, I read an article saying that millions of TV sets in the United States would stop working today unless they were able to receive digital signals. Notices appeared in electronics stores, and the government even offered a free $40 coupon toward the purchase of a converter box.
I suspect that most people took the necessary steps to make sure their TV set would work when they turned it on today. We usually respond well to warnings tied to specific dates, but often fail to prepare for an event that will come “some day.”
When the disciples asked Jesus about the date of His return (Matt. 24:3), He told them that only God the Father knows: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (v.36). Then He urged them to be prepared so that they would not be taken by surprise. “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (v.44).
We don’t know when Jesus will return; He may come at any time. Dr. M. R. De Haan, founder of RBC Ministries, kept a two-word motto in his office: “Perhaps Today.”
When we make our daily plans, are we aware that Christ may return? Are we prepared to meet Him?
Airmen with the 27th Special Operations Equipment Maintenance Squadron Munitions Flight practiced loading 105 mm cannon rounds like the ones shown here into an aerial gunner inside a 16th Special Operations Squadron AC-130H Spectre gunship during training at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M.Feb. 6. The Air Force Special Operations Training Center observed the loading procedures to help create a formal training program for use throughout Air Force Special Operations Command.

Great thread, Lauren! (((hugs)))
I don’t remember going anywhere near Luke AFB when we were
in AZ! Now I wish we had. :D
God bless ALL our heroes around the world!
Uhm....right...! "Phoenix" proper, perhaps! Housing developments are solid from downtown Phoenix out to where my sister lives in Surprise, about 5 miles NNW of Luke AFB.
I can remember when there were only two roads with bridges across the Agua Fria river between Phoenix and Luke - during the Monsoon, they were the only way to 'get there from here'.
My Dad was stationed at Luke when he met my Mom back in 1951-52; and Nana's sister met her husband when he was stationed at Luke in 1972-73.
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Arizona? Don't we know people in AZ?
Now for our local DC Metroland weather report
~ Today.... Mostly Sunny Near Seasonable HIGHS: Mid 40s WINDS: NW 5 - 10
~Tonight.... Increasing Clouds Chilly LOWS: Near 30 WINDS: S 5 - 10
I'm back in the office so hopefully (keeping fingers crossed) I won't be having computer issues today.
Got to make my rounds and see what happened yesterday after I left. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
