Everything going well these days?
Tired of summer and ready for Fall coolness?

[laurenmarlowe]

Hey there radu!

All is good here, thank you!

Getting settled, boxes almost all unpacked. I have a guy coming tomorrow to help hang pictures, and help me get organized so I can finish by this weekend.

Leaving in two weeks for my annual trip to Tulsa Oklahoma for our big event there, so I want to be able to pack the correct shoes, LOL!

So ready for some Fall weather, Summer can officially go away for a while.

Hope you are well, take care and have a pleasant week!

My dad worked at the Naval Annex for four years before we went overseas, and when we came back, his last duty station was NAVCOMMSTA Cheltenham, right up the road from Andrews AFB.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[SkyDancer]

Evening Kathy! ((Hugs)) Just hanging out at the airport watching the Hawks .....

[radu]

Sounding mighty good! Moving is such a pain and it’s great to finally get everything unpacked and in place.
Especially the shoes! LOL Gotta have those ready for Tulsa.

I think everyone’s ready for Fall at this point. We’re lucky and are getting a taste of it this week. I’m ready for a little sunshine to go with it after days and days of dreary skies.

I'd love another visit to our nation's capital!

God’s Provided Protection

Bible in a Year :

• Isaiah 11-13
• Ephesians 4

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand.

Ephesians 6:11

My wife and I put hundreds of miles on our bikes each year, pedaling the trails around West Michigan. To enhance the experience, we have some accessories that we’ve attached to our bikes. Sue has a front light, a back light, an odometer, and a bike lock. My bike has a water-bottle holder. In reality, we could ride our route successfully every day and rack up all those miles without the extras. They’re helpful but optional.

In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul writes about another set of accessories—but these aren’t optional. He said we must “put on” these things to be successful in living out our faith in Jesus. Our lives aren’t easy rides. We’re in a battle in which we must “stand against the devil’s schemes” (6:11), so we must be well equipped.

Without the wisdom of Scripture, we can be swayed to accept error. Without Jesus helping us live out His “truth,” we’ll give in to lies (v. 14). Without the “gospel,” we’ll have no “peace” (v. 15). Without “faith” shielding us, we’ll succumb to doubt (v. 16). Our “salvation” and the Holy Spirit anchor us to live well for God (v. 17). This is our armor.

How vital that we travel the pathways of life protected from its real dangers. We do that when Christ equips us for the challenges along the way—when we “put on” the armor God provides.

Reflect & Pray

What does it mean for you to “put on” God’s armor? What situations are you facing that require His armor the most?

Dear Father, thank You for reminding me in Scripture how I can stand against Satan’s attacks.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

The week getting off to a decent start?
Still gloomy here but at least it’s dry.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Same ol, same ol’ here. Mid-to-high 80s high....low 60s at night. Pretty nice. Too much sun here. I’d gladly trade some of it for some of your cloudy. LOL!
