Howdy there, my.
It’s seeing things come back to life that’s the allure.
The pollen part of it stinks though! LOL! Our cars and everything else are coated with the stuff and our sinuses are packed. We go through a LOT of Kleenex this time of year. Buy stock! We’ll make ya rich! :-)
It was 80 here Friday and we had the heat on late Sat. and it’s still going. We didn’t get out of the 30s yesterday. brrrrr!

Yikes, ML! I hadn’t heard about the runners suffering from hypothermia today. Haven’t heard much news, period, today but did hear a little about the winner of the race.
I hope those poor folks will be out of the hospital quickly.
With a LOT of luck this will be winter’s last hurrah and you can get Blue out on the road again soon.

The pollen is par for the course. *snuffle*

A lot goes on at the Marathon that doesn’t make the news. There are thousands that run, and whole streets are blocked off. Usually the stragglers are hospitalized for heat exhaustion and dehydration. It IS 26 MILES after all!

My Pop was a marathon runner, as was his twin brother.
Them guys was made of steel, but 26 miles... you collapse and puke over the finish line.
Comical gentlemen..

The original Marathon guy (Ancient Greece) dropped dead at the finish line.

I’ve heard mentions of people dealing with heat exhaustion and dehydration in the past and that’s easy to understand. It’s a LONG race and it’s usually pretty warm.
They may have talked about today’s problems but I just missed it. Like I said, I didn’t get to watch much news today. Just happened to be close to the tv when they talked about the young gal who won.
I admire anyone who can run that race. It takes a lot of work to prep for it and then you have to hope the weather doesn’t stink. They weren’t so lucky today.

Learning to Know God
April 17, 2018
But he said to them, It is I; dont be afraid.
John 6:20
For as long as I can remember, Ive wanted to be a mother. I dreamed about getting married, getting pregnant, and holding my baby in my arms for the first time. When I finally got married, my husband and I never even considered waiting to expand our family. But with each negative pregnancy test, we realized we were struggling with infertility. Months of doctors visits, tests, and tears followed. We were in the middle of a storm. Infertility was a bitter pill to swallow and left me wondering about Gods goodness and faithfulness.
When I reflect on our journey, I think about the story of the disciples caught in the storm on the sea in John 6. As they struggled against the waves in the dark of the storm, Jesus unexpectedly came to them walking on the stormy waves. He calmed them with His presence, saying, It is I; dont be afraid (v. 20).
Like the disciples, my husband and I had no idea what was coming in our storm; but we found comfort as we learned to know God more deeply as the One who is always faithful and true. Although we would not have the child we had dreamed of, we learned that in all our struggles we can experience the power of His calming presence. Because He is there powerfully working in our lives, we need not be anxious.
Dear Lord, thank You that I do not have to face the storms in this life without You. Thank You for Your calming presence and power carrying me through whatever I face.
Read more about waiting on God at discoveryseries.org/q0736.
We can experience Gods powerful presence even in the storms of our lives.
The story of Jesus meeting His disciples on the sea paints a vivid picture of how Jesus fulfilled Gods promises. In Bible times, the sea was seen as a terrifying force of chaos. Only God could walk on the sea (Job 9:8; Psalm 77:19). And in Israels central redemption storytheir deliverance from slaveryit was Gods power that brought Israel through the sea, leaving Egypt behind (Exodus 14:21).
So when John describes Jesus walking on the waves, we can understand the disciples terror (John 6:19)they were seeing God. Jesuss response, It is I (literally I am), confirmed His unity with God, the I am who I am (Exodus 3:14; John 8:58). By bringing the boat immediately to shore (John 6:21, 25), Jesus not only delivered the disciples but also likely pointed to the good news of another exodus from the sea. His death and resurrection would bring His people out of bondage into freedom (Galatians 5:1).
In this lifetime, we dont always experience the full restoration we long for (2 Corinthians 5:4), but we do experience the power that will one day transform all things (4:1617). Because of Jesus, we dont need to be afraid (John 6:20).
What fears do you need to place in the all-powerful hands of Jesus?

My son was stationed at Langley AFB early in his career, and we visited him several times. He was with the RCC [Rescue Coordination Center], and he loved that job. It has since been moved to Tyndall AFB in Florida.
Hampton Roads is a very nice part of VA to visit. It’s very near the Naval Yard at Norfolk, VA, and our son took me their to see the big ships coming and going....via the VERY long tunnel under the Chesapeake Bay. I tried not to have claustrophobia under the water. LOL!

Howdy, LUV.
Cool that you got to see a bit of the AFB. How you handled getting over there via the tunnel .... OOF! LOL
It’s why the summer I spent with a sailor at Norfolk, I never got over to Hampton or anywhere on that side of the bay.
