We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
The spotted owl has been disappearing in the US. Originally it was believed that old growth logging was its greatest threat. But research shows that one of the owl’s relatives may be the problem. For the past 15 years, the barred owl has been rapidly migrating westward. Barred owls, which used to live exclusively east of the Mississippi, compete for the same food as spotted owls but are more aggressive and adaptable.
In a similar way, our greatest spiritual conflict often comes not from outside the church, but from other Christians. This was happening in the church of Corinth, and Paul took some time to address the divisive spirit that had grown in this congregation. This spirit threatened the unity of the church. Paul, with a pastoral nudge, encouraged the Corinthians to agree on the essentials and not be divided over the nonessentials. People were quarreling because they were aligning themselves with different Christian leaders—Paul, Apollos, Peter, and even Christ. In creating these divisions, they were valuing their favorite leader above unity in Christ.
Paul said the one essential that should unify the church is preaching the good news. That should be our united goal as well.
A hat tip to these WASPS for their Service and Pioneering Spirit.

I see in one of the photos, they're holding a photograph of Marie Michel Robinson. I've been with my granddaughter to her crash site, as I've used Marie for a role model for her.
The young'n has been taught to expand her horizons, keeping in mind there is always a risk.
Well done Canteen Thread. Thanks.
Evening, Kathy. Glad to see women so honored.
Muriel Martin spent four years helping train fighter pilots as a Women's Airforce Service Pilot, or WASP, during WWII. God Bless Texas lady pilots.
Great thread about those brave women. A lot of them were stationed about 95 miles from here in Sweetwater, Texas. I love to read about them! Thanks, Kathy!
Reminder to everyone:
“The Pacific”, the “sequel” to “Band Of Brothers” starts Sunday night on HBO at 7 Central Time.
Evening Kathy, Hugs.
Thanks for the WASPs presentation.
We have 5 WASPs living here within a 45 mile radius.
