Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, Pro...still pretty slow, but the last known complete drop was about midnight. I was relaxing and watching tv....then gone.
Good so far today, but oh so annoying.
Ready for the new week?
Good evening, mairdie...thanks for sharing a cool part of your military history.
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the new week.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Howdy, Kathy.
Dang, right before our eyes last night, Lake Hood froze over. No wind to ruffle the lake’s surface so it took no time at all. STILL frozen today. It’s thin enough, a few seaplanes plowed through it but that couldn’t have been good for the floats.
Not MY military history. Just military history. I don’t share my cousin’s genealogy on that general’s side. Though I do have two generals on my side during that period - Brig. General Henry Lawrence Burnett, who was Ohio Cavalry until his horse rolled on him, and then he was brought to DC by Sec Stanton to run the Lincoln Assassination Investigation and be Special Judge Advocate for the trial.

The other is his father-in-law, Brig. General Henry Livingston Lansing, who started the NY Military Association with his brother, Brig. General Henry Seymour Lansing, who captured the first cannon in the Civil War. My Henry L commanded the 31st NY Militia in Buffalo, supplying men for the Draft Riots of New York City.

The family is pure military all the way back into the 1600s. There’s a whole bunch of documents from my various ggfathers in the Rev War and Colonial Wars.
Colonel Henry Bicker at Valley Forge left an Orderly Book.

Major Henry Livingston, Jr. left a diary of the invasion of Canada

Was your weekend as lazy as you had in mind?
Mine was. LOL
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Blue got out today.
Mostly nice today, but quite chilly. It’s 30 on my porch right now.

Evening Kathy! ((HUGS)) Yep, boss making up schedule - business is good. I’ve three flights this week, weather not conducive for jumping, lots of wind and rain. Take Care, be Safe. J xx
Bible in a Year :
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right.
Rising among the red mountains of Sedona, Arizona, is the beautiful Chapel of the Holy Cross. Entering the small chapel, I was immediately drawn to an unusual sculpture of Jesus on the cross. Instead of a traditional cross, Jesus is shown crucified on the branches of a tree with two trunks. Horizontally, a severed, dead trunk represents the tribes of Israel in the Old Testament that rejected God. The other trunk grows upward and branches out to symbolize the flourishing tribe of Judah and the family line of King David.
The symbolically significant art points to an important prophecy in the Old Testament about Jesus. Although the tribe of Judah was living in captivity, the prophet Jeremiah gave a hopeful message from God: “I will fulfill the good promise I made” (Jeremiah 33:14) to provide a rescuer who would “do what is just and right in the land” (v. 15). One way the people would know the identity of the rescuer was He would “sprout from David’s line” (v. 15), meaning the rescuer would be a physical descendant of King David.
The sculpture skillfully captures an important truth that in the details of Jesus’ family lineage, God was faithful to do all that He promised. Even more, it’s a reminder that His faithfulness in the past gives us reassurance that He’ll be faithful to fulfill His promises to us in the future.
Reflect & Pray
What are other significant promises from God that Jesus fulfilled? How does their fulfillment encourage you?
Thank You, Almighty God, that You fulfill all Your promises.
Good evening, spel, and thank you for the tunes. Good for working by...((HUGS))
Good evening, radu...IT is here! 17 on my porch at midnight last night. It has finally gotten about freezing today.
