Good Morning Canteeners! Guess who's going to take Aeronaut's lead tomorrow and take wing? Yup, you got it! The HJ family is headed out to visit family somewhere in East Texas, and we aren't coming home until the cows do. Well, maybe not quite that long...ok, we'll be back home a week from Saturday. Until then, we're going to just relax somewhere between Texarkana and the middle of nowhere, where towns' populations are numbered in the low thousands and everybody knows everybody else, where you're always welcomed with open arms to Sunday meeting, and if it wasn't so doggoned hot and humid I might consider staying there... So, with that in mind, let's take a look at some of the ways we might like to get there.

Mrs. HJ is an adventurous soul and suggested we go by balloon. These are floating over the red rock country of Sedona. I reminded her she only has 6 days of vacation, and that wouldn't be long enough to get us to Texas, let alone get home on time.

AZ Flyboy can't resist the temptation to sit sidesaddle with a slurry bomber pilot. He's hoping they get closer to the houses next time...Dad isn't taking him along if that's what he plans to do all next week. Besides, the fires are in Idaho right now, not Texas!!

I tend to like fast transport, and the hot fighters of the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke AFB are about as hot as it gets! I'm just going to have to figure out how to get the rest of the family into that little luggage compartment thingie they have under the cockpit...

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
