Was stationed at PBA from 93-99 and worked as a civilian from 00-05, hated working on the chemicals but it payed the bills and then some. Hands down the best fishing in the world, caught a 12lb bass and 48lb blue cat on post while there.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did a day of rest help you knock out the crud?
That sounds like some amazing Fishing!
Were thy good to eat? (I figure if you catch ‘em, you should be able to eat ‘em! )
Ma, you got any snow yet?
America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi! |
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is the ankle doing? Were you able to rest it today?
A Marvelous Monday, discounting the ankle?
I love to take pictures of sunsets at Lake Michigan. Some are subtle shades of pastel. Others are bold strokes of bright color. Sometimes the sun sinks quietly behind the lake. Other times it goes down in what looks like a fiery explosion.
In pictures and in person, I prefer the latter. But both show the handiwork of God. When it comes to Gods work in the world, my preferences are the same. I would rather see dramatic answers to prayer than ordinary provisions of daily bread. But both are the work of God.
Elijah may have had similar preferences. He had grown accustomed to being the center of Gods grand displays of power. When he prayed, God showed up in dramatic waysfirst in a miraculous defeat against the prophets of Baal and then in the end to a long and devastating drought (1 Kings 18). But then Elijah felt afraid and started to run. God sent an angel to feed him to strengthen him for his journey. After 40 days he arrived in Horeb. God showed him that He was now communicating in a still small voice, not in flashy miracles (19:11-12).
If youre discouraged because God hasnt shown up in a blaze of glory, perhaps Hes revealing Himself with His quiet presence.

The bass was caught on post in Yellow lake which was a phosphorus dump after WWII. The blue cat was caught in the Arkansas River which borders PBA and was a mustard agent dumping ground from Hitler’s weapons that were captured, I took pictures, weighed the fish and let them swim away.
