More Homecomings! Woohoo! Welcome Home!

It was all smiles, hugs, high-fives and handshakes as the Nevada Air National Guard and their families welcomed home the Airmen from the 152nd Airlift Wing that spent the last four months providing theater airlift and aerial delivery throughout the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR).

These aircrew, maintainers and logistics readiness squadron Airmen deployed on the unit’s first Air Expeditionary Force deployment since 2018

Follow the Leader

Read: 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1

No words. Just music and moving. During a twenty-four-hour Zumba marathon amid the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of people from around the globe worked out together and virtually followed instructors from India, China, Mexico, America, South Africa, parts of Europe, and several other places. These diverse individuals were able to move together without any language barriers. Why? Because instructors of the exercise craze Zumba, created in the mid-1990s by a Colombian aerobics instructor, utilize nonverbal cues to communicate. Class instructors move, and students follow their lead. They follow with no words uttered or shouted.

Words can sometimes get in the way and create barriers. They may cause confusion such as the Corinthians experienced, as noted in Paul’s first letter to them. It was confusion brought about by differing views of disputable matters pertaining to the eating of particular foods (1 Corinthians 10:27–30). But our actions can transcend barriers and even confusion. As Paul says in today’s passage, we should show people how to follow Jesus through our actions—seeking “the good of many” (10:32–33). We invite the world to believe in Him as we “follow the example of Christ” (11:1).

As someone once said, “Preach the gospel at all times. Use words when necessary.” As we follow Jesus’ lead, may He guide our actions to cue others to the reality of our faith. And may our words and actions be done “all for the glory of God” (10:31). — Katara Patton

What nonverbal faith cues are you showing others through your actions? How are people able to see Christ in your words and actions?

Father God, thank You for the example of Jesus. Show me how to follow Him in actions and in words every day.

Bible in a year: Numbers 9–11; Mark 5:1–20

Hope you are having a nice quiet evening. We must never forget!!

I wasn’t sure about making it through hump day, but I did. 😋

Is your stove getting to rest?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[mylife]

many are called, but few get up...

Pray that our troops don't have to deal with this outrage that is happening around Ukraine right now in the cities of Odessa, Kyiv, Kharkiv and probably more. Pray!!! We don't even know the full implications of this outrageous craziness by Putin yet.

[lightman]

Yup....”resting” since Sunday afternoon.

Tomorrow night will be a tough call. Won’t be bitterly cold (ergo, no stove needed) but there is a potential ice storm (better be fired up just in case of power outage).

Even the best local meteorologists can’t pinpoint timing and amounts just yet; one of these sneaky Tennessee valley storms and so much dependent on temperature. 1˚ F can mean the difference between icy glaze and just plain rain. UGH!

No uncertainty for Sunday evening into Tuesday morning: Lows in the upper teens/lo twenties.

But that might be IT for the season!
