You Are Unconventional

You can dress up and blend in with the crowd, but on the inside you're still totally wild.
You have a ton of energy, and you're the type of person who likes to tackle everything at once.

You are very spontaneous, and you've learned it's best not to try to predict the future.
You're up for anything, especially if it's new or unusual. You're all about racking up unique life experiences. Wow, look at me go!

[BIGLOOK]

Damn......and all this time I thought our flight was fore ward deployed....

Aloha Doc!

There's a little tidbit I'd like to chat about with you tonight. Saving it for later.

The Real Prize
May 25, 2011

I’ve been amazed at the impact that my wife, Martie, has had on the lives of our kids. Very few roles demand the kind of unconditional, self-sacrificing perseverance and commitment as that of motherhood. I know for certain that my character and faith have been shaped and molded by my mom, Corabelle. Let’s face it, where would we be without our wives and mothers?

It reminds me of one of my favorite memories in sports history. Phil Mickelson walked up the 18th fairway at the Masters Golf Tournament in 2010 after his final putt to clinch one of golf’s most coveted prizes for the third time. But it wasn’t his victory leap on the green that had an impact on me. It was when he made a beeline through the crowd to his wife, who was battling life-threatening cancer. They embraced, and the camera caught a tear running down Phil’s cheek as he held his wife close for a long time.

Our wives need to experience the kind of sacrificial, selfless love that has been shown to us by the Lover of our souls. As Paul put it, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her” (Eph. 5:25). Prizes come and go, but it’s the people you love—and who love you—that matter most.

A man who finds a godly wife
Is blest beyond compare;
She is his greatest prize in life—
A treasure rich and rare. —D. De Haan

Life is not about the prizes we win, but the people we love.

Read: Ephesians 5:22-33

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her. —Ephesians 5:25

Bible in a year:
1 Chronicles 25-27; John 9:1-23

I’d be a Zero bar (the Bummer’s common nick notwithstanding) but since I first had them in the mid 60’s the formula has been revised to add “soy protein” (and remove what, some of the ground peanuts?) It isn’t the same.

You Are Strong

You are tough as nails. You have amazing endurance, drive, and ambition.
You motor through any obstacles in your way. It's almost impossible to deter you.

You enjoy working hard, but you also take time to savor the sweeter side of life.
You give yourself a break when you need it. This down time adds to your stability.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...long night ahead. 2 days of class finished. We have to do all of Wednesday morning’s work tonight cuz we will be in class in the morning. Checks print at 2p, right or wrong.

Hope you had a good train ride to and from work, and were on time.

Did you have any nasty weather late afternoon? I got some pics from a friend in Virginia...almost all the trees are down in her yard and they had no warning. Power comes and goes.

[ConorMacNessa]

I was watching the weather radar all afternoon - big storms to the southwest of us - southwestern and Southside Virginia - nothing up here. We've been real lucky.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sergeant Brett Wood, Australian Army, 2nd Commando Regiment, 22MAY2011

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Flowers of the Forest



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!
