Glad to see a Canteen thread Ft. Sam what with San Antonio being my hometown.
Good evening, lauren...do I need to start the gopher wood order? *HUGS*
Ah yes, Fort Sam, and memories of the WAC Shack on Sunday nights....(and I was USAF).....
The lady who hired me, 10 years ago, has an Army son who did the medic school at Fort Sam Houston.
OOPS, Laurenmarlowe, I hollered at Kathy in AK about Ft. Sam, meant to tell you how much I appreciate this post, thanks a lot! FT. Sam, still doing great service to the country!

In data collected from over 20,000 Christians in 139 countries, The Obstacles to Growth Survey found that, on average, more than 40 percent of Christians around the world say they “often” or “always” rush from task to task. About 60 percent of Christians say that it’s “often” or “always” true that the busyness of life gets in the way of developing their relationship with God. It’s clear that busyness does distract us from our fellowship with Him.
It seems that Martha too allowed busyness to distract her from spending time with Jesus. When she welcomed Him and His disciples into her home, she was occupied with preparing the food, washing their feet, and making sure they were comfortable. All of these things had to be done, but Luke seems to intimate that Martha’s busyness in preparation degenerated into busywork that distracted her from reflecting on Jesus’ words and enjoying time with Him (Luke 10:38-42).
What about us? Are we rushing from task to task, allowing the busyness of life and even work for Jesus to distract us from enjoying sweet fellowship with Him? Let’s ask God to help us diminish our distractions by making Jesus our focus.
Great thread, Lauren. I have been to Ft Sam Houston and the thing I remember is how pretty the area was and that there
were tame deer on the parade ground. They would jump up on
you and lick your hands. :D
Ft Sam NOV 67 bump.
Evening, Lauren, Kathy. How’s it going?
Cool field trip, Ms. Lauren!
Piper’s Mommie did her training to be a combat medic at Fort Sam.
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families
THANK YOU for all you do!
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Now for our local DC Metroland weather report
~ Today....Sunshine and a few afternoon clouds. High 72F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph.
~ Tonight....Cloudy with a few showers. Low around 60F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
You know, I think I just might get caught up on work soon. The good news is that it usually slows down during November & December.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!
Now remember, the Canteen is OPEN
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

Ft Sam Houston is a very nice post. My daughter trained there as a Combat Medic in 2004. (She is a Reservist - and went on to get her BS Nursing, and is a 1Lt, Nurse Corp now - just went on 1 year active duty at Madigan Hospital, next to Ft. Lewis, WA).
We went to her AIT graduation, and stayed on post. They have wonderful old buildings that were nicely restored! (And near the field where some initial flight tests for the Army were conducted circa 1910.)
