Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Thanks for honoring and remembering tonight’s Hero, Kathy!
Howdy, Kathy.
I remember when this happened, being glued to the news at the time.
It’s nice to see this valiant young woman received recognition she deserved.
Good evening, radu...are you starting to warm up? Waiting for helpful rain?
It snowed here for several hours...all the way to work and back. Almost hit a car at the stop light as I slid and slid and slid. Thankfully I was already going slow for the turn, but it was close.
Howdy, PRO.
How’s your weekend been? Has your warm-up begun?
Welcome home, Janey...((HUGS))...how long and where did you get stuck?
I mailed a box to Tennessee on the 11th and it still hasn’t gotten there. Tracking just says it will be late.
Hey there, Kathy.
Yes, it’s much warmer now though it was quite windy today. The rain is on its way, just moving into TN now.
I saw that it’s snowing up your way. Still coming down pretty hard at the airport now. It was snowing so hard earlier we could barely see the Dreamlifter as it took off for Japan.
EEK on your near collision! That sort of thing is NOT fun. At least you don’t have to go out any more for a while.
Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) I was stuck for a bit over a week; some corporate guys were escaping (LOL) and asked if I wanted to go along to Vegas, then from there caught a jump home. Fun trip, love those bizjets.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Bible in a Year:
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.
I understand why Ware would find such a biblical challenge so daunting! An old chorus says, “To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus. My desire, to be like Him.” But as Ware rightly noted, we are incapable of doing that. Left to ourselves, we could never become like Jesus.
However, we’re not left to ourselves. The Holy Spirit has been given to the child of God, in part so that Christ can be formed in us (Galatians 4:19). So it should come as no surprise that in Paul’s great chapter on the Spirit we read, “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8:29). God will see His work completed in us. And He does it through the Spirit of Jesus living in us.
As we yield to the Spirit’s work in us, we truly become more like Jesus. How comforting to know that’s God’s great desire for us!
Reflect & Pray
What attribute of the fruit of the Spirit would you like to live out to a greater degree? (see Galatians 5:22–23). What will help you do so?
Father, I long to be more like Your Son but so often fall short in word, thought, or deed. Forgive me, and help me to yield to the work of Your Spirit so that Jesus might be formed in me.

We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Lazy weekend, didn't do much.
How about your weather? Did your 1/2" of snow melt yet? 😆
Hi Kathy of Alaska!
You get into quite the adventures flying all over the place. Enjoy your time home.
Good evening, Pro...she was a hero. And she gave her life to help us be free.
It sounds like a lot of us are warming back up a little. Feels GOOD, doesn’t it?
Hey, 4 inches of snow might not sound like much but it’s a lot for us. LOL And it’s gone. Sunshine and 60 degrees took care of it. Now rain is moving through overnight.
I expected a boring weekend but yesterday turned out great. Got to head up to the military museum for a couple of hours to check out some of the new stuff. Can’t wait til we re-open this year and spend every Saturday there.
Just a few flakes for the last hour or so, and some sun tomorrow before THE snow. Hope they come tomorrow to take some away.
