Evening, Kathy. Happy New Year!
And a Good Evening, ladies!
It’s a blustery evening here tonight as I’m writing this. I was thinking of watching a few episodes of Doctor Who tonight.
How’s everything where you are?
HiYa Kathy,...(((hugs)))
Good Evening Everybody!
(((hugs)))
Driving a huge truck over the icy roads of northern Alaska would seem to be a task that requires a sense of humor. But when one driver heard another driver named Alex laugh often and rather loudly over the truck-to-truck communication system, he grew irritated. So he made some disparaging remarks about Alex and his good-natured guffaws.
Not long after that, the critical driver lost control of his big rig and ended up in a ditch—up to his axles in snow. And guess who came along the isolated road and saw his predicament? That’s right. Alex.
So, what would you do? Keep on trucking right past with a hearty laugh at the other guy’s trouble? That’s not what Alex did. He stopped and spent several hours helping dig his critic out. When he was done, he simply said, “Any opportunity I can have to make amends, I’m happy to do it.” And then, of course, he laughed.
What a lesson for all of us. Isn’t that what Christ commanded us to do in Luke 6—to help out even those who seem to be our enemies? The next time someone says something about you that you don’t like, think of Alex—and don’t just laugh it off. Do something positive for that person, and in so doing, you may make a friend.
Thank you, Galz, for yet another wonderful story of one of
our brave and true! There are so many!...and so little time...
Evening Kathy, Hugs.
Happy New Year to our Troops, Veterans and to all Canteeners.
Thank you for the story on another great hero! He really did a lot in his life!
Happy New Year to you both!
In my high school in the mid 1960’s, I hung out with a bunch of football nuts who had taken a liking to the wide-open ways of the new American Football League, of which Joe was Commissioner.
We called our club “The Joe Foss Fan Club,” and endured alot of harassment from the NFL types.
Awesome visit to the Hall of Heroes tonight, Ladies.
I knew Joe Foss through his second wife’s son, Dean Hall. Joe spoke at my banquets twice, and we spent some time together afterwards. He was the most down-to-earth person you could imagine, and had strong views about right and wrong. Joe Foss epitomized the Greatest Generation.
Salute to MOH recipient Joseph Jacob “Joe” Foss.
My cell phone has been ringing all day with birthday wishes.
WELCOME TO THE
FR CANTEEN
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you,Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
WOW! That Foss was one busy dude!
I think it was wonderful
of him to be so active
and to have such broad interests.
I wonder if there was anything he wanted to do
that he didn't get to do?
Ringing in the New Year - 2012.
Sorry I wasn't here to participate in the countdown
but I've had a busy week
with chores and visiting with our oldest granddaughter
who graced us with her presence for four days
plus I can no longer stay up past 11. LOL
Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday time
and has a blessed New Year!
