NAVIGATION Navigation of a ship at sea is, in principle, a very simple matter: you plot a course between where you are and where you want to be, and let the propeller muscle the ship through the water. As simple as that seems, it won’t happen without another very important element: the rudder! The rudder performs its quiet, steady work, unshaken by the tremendous pressures directed against it. And it must hold the true course without deviation.
The navigation of a human life is also, in principle, a very simple matter. As with a ship, there must be motivation and direction. Sea service men and women have shown no shortage of drive, but far too many who abound with energy have experienced the tragic results of inattention to their moral compass. When a ship drifts off course, the order “Mind your helm!” quickly follows: Pay attention to your rudder’s position! The same order in your personal life (“Pay attention to moral attitudes and actions.”) is a call to mind the moral helm in your life. This internal rudder must be able to withstand the powerful forces that will otherwise constantly push you off your safe and proper course. The proven moral and spiritual values of our heritage provide excellent tools to help you sail a true course, whatever the state of the seas. CAPT Al Hill, CHC, USN

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Yes, we’re getting a little break from the heat but it’s still muggy.
I’m glad you’re getting soaking rain up there. I’m surprised there haven’t been any fires breaking out.

The dry spell’s gone on a little too long now. I’ve appreciated the grass not growing back fast but crops are looking a bit rough. Grass is brown too. Fires are going to start breaking out soon.

Hey there, radu!
Barely! LOL! I sure didn’t want to get up, that’s for sure. Thank goodness it never got as hot as I was afraid it would. Tomorrow’s a different story..around 100. Never a good idea.
Hope you enjoyed your cooler weather today and that the humidity wasn’t through the roof.
