Ten out of ten “you are a genius”. I did guess about the ship.
Also a .45 is not a long play record but that was the only thing which fit at all.

Whew...10/10.
Had a reputation to uphold: Got the D.A.R. American History essay award when I was in the 8th grade and got a jump start on college with 6 credits through Advanced Placement History....but that was four decades ago.
Where’d the time go?

Out of the Deep
July 26, 2017
He reached down from on high and took hold of me.
2 Samuel 22:17
I scanned the water intently, on alert for signs of trouble. During my six-hour shifts as a lifeguard, I watched from the side of the pool to ensure the safety of those swimming. Leaving my post, or even becoming lax in my attentiveness, could have grave consequences for those in the pool. If a swimmer was in danger of drowning due to injury or lack of skill, it was my responsibility to pluck them from the water and return them to safety on the pool deck.
After experiencing Gods aid in battle against the Philistines (2 Sam. 21:1522), David likens his rescue to being drawn out of deep waters (22:17). Davids very lifeand that of his menwas in serious danger from his enemies. God buoyed David as he was drowning in disaster. While lifeguards are paid to assure the safety of swimmers, God, on the other hand, saved David because of His delight in him (v. 20). My heart leaps for joy when I realize that God doesnt watch over and protect me because Hes obliged to but because He wants to.
When we feel overcome by the troubles of life, we can rest in the knowledge that God, our Lifeguard, sees our struggle and, because of His delight in us, watches over and protects us.
Thank You, Lord, for seeing my struggles and standing ready to save me. Help me to trust Your rescuing love more fully.
God delights in saving His children.
As Davids years added up, his strength began to fail. Yet this was his chance to recall once again the many times the Lord had heard his cry for help and rescued him from trouble.
In the course of a wonderfulyet difficultlife, David knew the emotions of fear and adrenaline rush. As a young man, wild animals stalked his fathers sheep. Later there was the threat of Goliath, the murderous pursuit by Saul, and military battles on many fronts. In one of his last wars with the Philistines, David became exhausted. A Philistine thought this was his opportunity to kill the king of Israel. But one of Davids soldiers rushed to his side and killed the Philistine. It was a close call. After that, Davids men said, Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished (2 Sam. 21:17). God had been so faithful to David that his soldiers made the mistake of thinking that without him they themselves would be defeated by their enemies.
Do we need to learn as they did that rescue comes only from the Lord? Mart DeHaan

Today is the 122 anniversary of the Army Air force Exchange services which was started July 25, 1895 so Soldiers would not have to pay steep prices for their needs.
This year the Exchange is allowing Veterans to buy online Tax Free and shipping free.

Getting the ping ready now....we are trying to get my Mom from her temporary bed in the living room into the newly delivered hospital bed now set up in her room. It is not going well....it seems to be traumatic and she is not happy about not knowing what is going on.
And another problem before I can even get this posted. She is so tired and confused and not understanding that NOTHING is changed except the bed. *sigh*
Please pray The Lord takes her Home and to be with my Dad soon.
