CAMP SHELBY, Miss. – US Army Sgt. Justin Ross, a 304th Military Police Battalion Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) Soldier and Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) instructor, performs systems checks on the M249 Squad Assault Weapon training equipment at the EST site on Camp Shelby, Mississippi on August 10, 2024. The EST is designed to simulate live weapon training events that directly support individual and crew-served weapons qualification, including individual marksmanship and escalation-of-force exercises in a controlled environment. Ross is just one of approximately 1,100 Soldiers, including partner force representatives from Belgium, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, taking part in Titan Warrior 24. TW24 is an annual, multi-faceted training event designed to generate lethal platform crews, improve individual and mission essential task proficiency, and to certify lethal teams within the ranks of the 290th Military Police Brigade, its subordinate and affiliated organizations, and their multinational partners.

Good evening, radu...I finally got here. LONG day with a few bumps.

Are you and Champ done with mowing?

Cold has settled in today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...how is your weather?

Cold has arrived here...it is 10 degrees on my porch!

[luvie]

Always remember our troops.
Our President and the First Lady sure do! ❤️🇺🇸💙

Hi Kathy, we've had a few below freezing mornings but still fairly decent day time temps.

We're getting rain which the farmers here appreciate. They're still harvesting apples and grapes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening JJ...((HUGS))...did you get any hunting done this summer?

Winter seems to be here....10 degrees on my porch, and -9 at Eielson.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

You survived to Hump Day! Bet you don’t stay up very late tonight.

No, Champ isn’t finished for the season just yet. I got the grass along the driveway yesterday and need to mow the yard at this house one more time. I’ll do that this weekend. No way today. It was a little drizzly this afternoon and VERY windy. Still waiting for the good rain and listening to the wind bang the window while watching Barry’s afternoon livestream.

Your weather was crazy today. Sunny this morning with a huge fog bank along the west and north horizon. Later, the airports were socked in fog. Then the fog backed off and hung along the horizon again. Now it’s getting foggy at Lake Hood again.
Be careful going out to feed the ducks. That freezing fog is going to make everything slick as all getout.

Persist in Praying

Bible in a Year :

• Lamentations 3-5
• Hebrews 10:19-39

They should always pray and not give up.

Luke 18:1 <

Mila, a baking assistant, felt too helpless to defend herself when her supervisor accused her of pilfering some raisin bread. The unfounded assertion and corresponding salary deduction were just two of many wrongful actions from her supervisor. “God, please help,” Mila prayed each day. “It’s so hard working under her, but I need this job.”

Jesus tells of a widow who also felt helpless and “sought justice against [her] adversary” (Luke 18:3). She turned to someone with the authority to resolve her case—a judge. Despite knowing that the judge was unjust, she persisted in approaching him.

The judge’s eventual response (vv. 4-5) is infinitely different from that of our heavenly Father, who quickly responds with love and help. If persistence could cause an unjust judge to take up a widow’s case, how much more can and will God, who is the just Judge, do for us (vv. 7-8)? We can trust Him “to bring about justice for his chosen ones” (v. 7) and being persistent in praying is one way of showing our trust. We persist because we have faith that God will respond in perfect wisdom to our situation.

Eventually, Mila’s supervisor resigned after other employees complained about her behavior. As we walk in obedience to God, let’s persist in praying, knowing the power of our prayers lies in the one who hears and helps us.

Reflect & Pray

When have you felt like giving up on praying? How can you reflect on God’s character as you pray?

Loving God, please remind me of who You are and help me to keep praying, no matter what.

Learn how coming to God in prayer improves our spiritual life.

Good evening, spel, and thank you for the lively tunes this evening. ((HUGS)) TROMBORANGA.....

Howdy, luvie.

Love that pic!

Hope your day’s gone well.

It’s been like a hurricane here all day. It’s been VERY windy and now the wind’s blowing even harder as the front gets closer. The kitties are a-twitch because the wind keeps banging the windows.
But little rain so far. *sigh* IF the radars aren’t lyin’, it looks like we’re about to get some.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It is a great picture, huh! Genuine love between president and the troops. Very rare.

I noticed when I checked your weather a bit ago that it was showing rain. Hope that the wind calms down soon or those kitties are going to be freaking out and you won’t be able to sleep. It’s funny. Storms absolutely don’t bother Peaches and Ginger at all. They just sleep through it. Thank heavens. LOL!
