Fear means different things to different people. To professional golfer Padraig Harrington, it is a motivator to help him perform his very best. In 2008, when he won both the British Open and the PGA Championship, Harrington said, “Yes, fear is a big part of me. I’d like to say that I have all the trust and patience and I’m relaxed. No, that’s not my makeup. [Fear] pushes me on. Keeps me getting to the gym. I have to work with it and use it.”
Maybe it’s the fear of failure, or the fear of losing his edge, but Harrington finds fear to be a useful thing in his professional life.
The follower of Christ can also be helped by fear. We are challenged in the Scriptures to a reverential fear of God, which is the best type of fear that there is. It causes us to be concerned about disobeying Him or living in opposition to His ways. It’s being in awe of our great God, bowing to His perfect will, and seeking His wisdom for living. To that end, the proverb declares, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Prov. 9:10).
By fearing God rightly, we can live wisely in an uncertain world.

Brings back memories. Visited there a number of times in the mid 60s while working for the Naval Research Lab. Sort of remember getting a speeding ticket on base one time. NRL had a Lockheed Super Constallation EC121: http://www.dean-boys.com/ec-121.htm
which was available for research projects. It had the radome and pot belly but none of the electronics. We would load up our own stuff for our expeditions.
Working night shift.
So far it has been a butt kicking.
I’m hoping it turns around and gets slooooooowwwww.
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.
Oh Look! We're going right in my neighborhood again.
Now for our local DC Metroland weather report
~ Today....Partly cloudy skies. High 64F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
~ Tonight....Mostly clear. Low 36F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Woowe....was it foggy this morning. Not so bad that you couldn't see the cars ahead of you but descending fast by the time I got to work. It's lifting now and the sun is trying to peek through.
Yes, I know I'm late again. Got sidetracked but now I'm here to say hello and to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
