Some of those guys went through PTC over here and were around town. Didn't see them much since their liberty (or whatever the Army calls it) was brief and Kona was a much more desirable spot to unwind.

Like before in our lives, thier faces are our faces and even if never to be seen again, I hope that it's because they came back and went on with their lives.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Norm...do you remember the DI in your face, yelling, while you were standing on the little yellow feet? And happy almost 39th anniversary!

We thank you for your service to our country.

[HiJinx]

Did I read that correctly, Tx?

Woo-Hoo!!
Congrats on a job well done, and welcome home, Bro.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home just a couple days ago, to the family in Germany.

Hurrah!!

The Pilot’s Rutter

May 27, 2011

During the era of great sea exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, sailing ships traversed vast, hazardous oceans and navigated dangerous coastlines. Pilots used various navigation techniques—including a book called a “rutter” (not the “rudder,” the ship’s steering device). This was a log of events kept by earlier voyagers who chronicled their encounters with previously unknown and difficult waters. By reading the sailing details in a rutter, captains could avoid hazards and make it through difficult waters.

In many ways, the Christian life is like a voyage, and the believer needs help in navigating life’s perilous seas. We have that help because God has given us His Word as a “spiritual rutter.” Often when we reflect on a meaningful passage, we can recall God’s faithfulness through trying circumstances. As the psalmist suggests, perils are found not only in life situations but also in our inner tendency toward sin. Because of these dual concerns, he wrote, “Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me” (119:133).

As you reflect on the teaching in the Bible, you’ll be reminded of God’s past care, assured of the Lord’s guidance in trying circumstances, and warned against sinfulness. That’s the advantage of having a “spiritual rutter.”

My Bible is a guidebook true
That points for me the way,
That gives me courage, hope, and cheer
And guidance for each day. —Anon.

With God’s Word as your map and His Spirit as your compass, you’re sure to stay on course.

Read: Psalm 119:129-136

Direct my steps by Your Word. —Psalm 119:133

Bible in a year:
2 Chronicles 1-3; John 10:1-23

Oops! How rude if me...

Good evening, HJ...(HUGS))...how has spring been treating you?

How is Piper doing? Time for summer vacation soon?

[PROCON]

Evening Big Guy!

Lotsa rain to deal with here but son and I are still going to see if we can catch and eat some trout over the weekend.

What's up with you this weekend?

[luvie]

Thanks for the heads-up on TX! :) Sooo glad he got home safely!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Procon!

Damn.....I'm jealous. Trout is one of my favorite fish and every time I head up to the mainland, trout fishing is what I look forward to most. (Of course lake salmon, walleye or pike will do too).

The only trout here are farm raised and sold in grocery stores....good but not the same.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, AGreatPer....God Bless the Boy Scouts and those that make sure they understand history.
