Howdy Ma!
Hard to keep the troops out of the Casinos.
Great road show, galz. My preacher and his family used to live within a few miles of there and loved seeing all the aircraft activity! :)
I would like to thank the Thunder Birds guys for being so great to my son when he was playing with his Dad’s band at the Officer’s club at Nellis. My son was about 12 years old and the guys took him into the Thunder Bird’s private room. They showed him around and gave him some souvenirs. They were really great guys and my son, who is now in his 40s still remembers his time there with fondness.
I grew up in a small town. No famous people. No busy streets. Not much to do. Yet I’ve always been thankful for my quiet, uncomplicated upbringing.
One evening when my husband and I were attending a business dinner, a new acquaintance asked me where I was from. When I told her, she said, “Aren’t you embarrassed to admit it?”
Unsure whether or not she was joking, I simply said, “No.”
Although my town was sometimes belittled for its lack of sophistication, it was not lacking in things that matter. My family was part of a church community in which parents brought up children “in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4).
Jesus also grew up in a small town: Nazareth. A man named Nathanael asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:46). Jesus proved that the answer is yes. Even though He grew up in an insignificant place, He was the most significant person in all of history.
Experience taught me and Scripture confirms that what matters is not where you grow up but how you grow up. Sometimes we feel insignificant compared to sophisticated people from prominent places. But we are significant to God, and He can make us strong in spirit and filled with His wisdom.
Read: Luke 2:41-52
