As Karissa Smith was browsing in a local library with her babbling 4-month-old daughter, an older man rudely told her to quiet her baby or he would. Smith responded, “I am very sorry for whatever in your life caused you to be so disturbed by a happy baby, but I will not tell my baby to shut up, and I will not let you do so either.” The man put his head down and apologized, and told her the story of how his son died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome over 50 years ago. He had repressed his grief and anger all those years.
In Psalm 13, David expressed his grief. He addressed God with raw and honest language: “How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?” (v.1). These questions reflected fears of abandonment. David’s language of distress gave way to a plea for help and reaffirmation of his faith in God’s love for him (vv.3-6). Confidence and firm resolve came alongside the cry of distress.
We all go through dark nights of the soul when we wonder if God has abandoned us. As with David, our aching can give way to joy when we approach God honestly, plead for help, and reaffirm our trust in a God whose love for us will never waver or change.

Great road trip, Galz! Not the best time of the year for visiting the Northland, but great trip nonetheless!
Elsworth’s air museum is well worth the time and money. I was fascinated by the B29 they have
25 years ago, I was driving through South Dakota, returning to California after visiting my brother at Minot AFB in North Dakota. Out of the corner of my eye out the drivers side window, I saw some movement. It was a B-1. He flew right over my car at about 200 feet. I tried to follow him visually out the passenger side window. He disappeared in seconds. You couldn’t see him. Amazing.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Are you ready for the Tuesday
Road Trip?
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
South Dakota, huh?
I'm guessing they will be wearing shorts up there today.
Personally, I'm not complaining about the mild temps so far.
DC Metroland Weather
~ Today...Mainly cloudy. High around 55F. Winds light and variable.
~ Tonight...Some clouds. Low 38F. Winds light and variable.
Well, things are kind of quiet around here,
so I might be able to get to the Canteen more today.
Assuming that the dreaded "time out" doesn't keep happening to me.
Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS

I came down from North Dakota to visit my Daughter ans Son for Thanksgiving. My Daughter lives in Box Elder and the B1s are practicing touch and go’s. Years ago when the BUFFs were here it was so tremendous. To watch and hear their touch and go’s. I’m still amazed that something so big could fly so slow just above our heads
