No trouble, but not everybody works seven days a week like I do. Then there are the High Holy Days.
So 4-business days has turned into two weeks.
No problem. I can live through it!

For His Glory
September 25, 2012
You can learn a lot by walking with others through tough times. Thats been the case for us as our friends Sam and Carol have trudged through Sams cancer journey. For a year we watched and prayed as he endured the treatment and the pain. And just when it seemed he was in the clear, a new diagnosis reported more cancer.
The disappointment was obvious. Year two would look a lot like year one as Sam would have to go through the chemo and the sickness and the side effects all over again.
But when Sam told us about what he faced as more months of treatments loomed, he said something we can all learn from: We want to make sure that through it all God gets the glory and we reflect His love to others. Imagine that! As he faced another year of pain and struggles, Sams first priority was to show Gods love through it all. He was anticipating the time when Gods glory is revealed (1 Peter 4:13).
Carol wrote to friends, It has been a year of trials, but God has always pulled us through with His mercy and grace. May we never take our eyes off Him and His love for us.
What mountains do you face? Like Sam and Carol, you too can depend on Gods grace to get you through. Pray also that you might reflect His love.
Whenever lifes burdens oppress you
And trials are too much to face,
Remember Gods strength in your weakness;
Hell give you His power and grace. Sper
The increasing darkness of trials only makes the lamp of grace shine brighter.
Read: 1 Peter 4:12-16

Must retire the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.
The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.
Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!
Godspeed our Troops around the Globe especially those in harms way by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Half sunny and half cloudy....or was it the other way round?
Had a not very interesting chat yesterday with my brother whose good friend lives in Fairbanks. He told me everyone in Alaska has cracked or broken windshields.....from a multitude of problems but mostly from the cold. True?

It wouldn’t surprise me in Fairbanks. It gets REALLY cold up there. I will post the weather comparisons throughout the winter.
In Anchorage, I wouldn’t think so much. Road debris is a constant, year round. I have done my share of flinching as “something” hit my windshield. I have been extremely lucky not to have mine spider. I have had a couple “pits”, but was able to get them repaired.

Fort Greely has some fond memories for me. It also has its share of pain suffering, freezing, and exhausted memories as well! I cursed it when I left the first time and knew better the second time!
