Hiya Kathy.

Felt well enough today to wash the truck and attend the Flag Day Ceremony.

Great attendance; the largest number of attendees I’ve ever seen. Even had the Arizona Rangers directing traffic.

Another wonderful hero who was awarded America’s highest military honor! I am always happy to read about one of the MOH winners who are still living. So many of them are awarded posthumously.

Thanks, Galz! (((hugs)))

Your Spiritual Pipeline
June 13, 2011

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline stretches 800 miles through Alaska. Because it was built through an earthquake zone, engineers had to be sure the pipe could withstand earth trauma. They decided on a network of Teflon sliders designed to ease the shock when the ground moved below the pipes. Engineers were delighted when the first big test came. In 2002, an earthquake occurred causing the ground to move 18 feet to one side. The Teflon sliders moved gently to accommodate the movement without any damage to the pipe. The key was flexibility.

The believer’s spiritual pipeline to heaven is built upon firm trust in God. But if we are inflexible in our expectations of how God should work, we can run into trouble. In a crisis, we can make the mistake of shifting our focus from God to our painful circumstances. Our prayer should be, “God, I don’t understand why You have allowed this painful situation. But I am trusting in Your ultimate deliverance despite all that’s going on around me.” The psalmist expressed this so well when he wrote: “My soul trusts in You . . . until these calamities have passed by” (Ps. 57:1).

When the earth seems to move under us, let’s be flexible in our expectations but firmly confident in God’s steadfast love and care.

Press forward and fear not! Though trials be near;
The Lord is our refuge; whom then shall we fear?
His staff is our comfort, our safeguard His rod;
Then let us be steadfast and joy in our God. —Anon.

God may delay or deny our request,
but He will never disappoint our trust.

Read: Psalm 57

My soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge. —Psalm 57:1

Bible in a year:
Ezra 6-8; John 21

Thank you Ladies for this evenings thread. *Hugs*

"Oh, I have it," Pete Replied.
"Where is it? Asked his friend.
"In a shoebox in my closet."
"You don't wear it?"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"It isn't mine," Pete quickly answered. "It belongs to Casey Waller, Nathan Mann, Brent Street, and the guys in the unit."

Thank you for your service our hero Peter Lemon.
