Thanks. We've never heard of them before. They fly out of Indy too. Hobbits don't get out much. LOL. Hubby has just about decided to drive out over the weekend. If he sounds cheap, it's because he is. LOL. We'll see if any alerts pop up that might change his mind.

The first week of August. Hubby has to work in Denver, and then we'll probably go to Estes.

Flag Day Bump for the Freeper Foxhole. The young lady is waiting on the USS Theodore Roosevelt to dock. A genuine offical US Navy Photo.

No link for the Jet pics as they were on the Newsgroup Server. Don't worry I saves a mess of 'em.

Let me know if you are driving out to Colorado. We will see how my work schedule is? Shoot y'all could pick up the CD full of R/C pics that I have. It a pretty small CD though. We are only about 2 miles off of I-70!!!

Who Are You?

READ: 1 John 2:1-11

By this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. —1 John 2:3

Identity theft is a big problem in the age of credit cards and the Internet. It’s not hard for someone to retrieve your vital information and pose as you. If that were to happen, however, it would not change the essence of who you are. The thief would not steal your true identity—just some superficial information about you.

Your identity goes much deeper than your ID numbers. In reality, you are who God says you are. Nothing really matters except whether or not you are identified as a child of God. That alone will dictate your eternal destiny, and that alone will indicate whether you can live life to the fullest.

In 1 John 2, there are three identity qualifiers—truths that reveal whether we are God’s children:

 Who are you? Do you know Jesus? If so, you will obey His commands, walk as He did, and love others. No one can ever steal that mark of identity from you. Dave Branon

Lord, help us never be ashamed
To take a stand for what is true,
And give us courage to be named
As faithful followers of You.  —Sper

No one can steal your identity in Christ.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Ezra 9-10; Acts 1

We just drove Charleston to Denver, breaking the trip in St. Louis. It was a beautiful drive - America is at it's best in the Spring - but both days we ran into severe storms as we arrived in St. Louis and Denver.

We did make it to the far western corner of N.C. and had some of the best barbecue ever in itty-bitty Dillsboro. Yum!

Your Death

READ: Romans 6:1-14

Do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it. —Romans 6:12

Cathy and 8,500 other patients of a local hospital received their bills, along with some shocking news: They had died!

Cathy said, “I was pretty sure I was not dead, but you never know.” She said the hospital explained that it was just a computer glitch. “All it has amounted to so far,” she added, “is a pretty funny story to tell and a small annoyance.”

You may be surprised to learn about your own “death” when you read Romans 6:6, “Our old man was crucified with [Christ], . . . that we should no longer be slaves of sin.” If you are a follower of Jesus, you “died to sin” (v.2). But we know that we still sin, even though we belong to Christ.

So, what does it mean to be “crucified with Him”? It means we no longer have to be overpowered by temptation. We can choose to obey God through His power.

Commentator Thomas Schreiner says, “Believers will not experience perfect deliverance from sin in this age, so that they never sin at all. What has been shattered is not the presence of sin but the mastery of sin over believers.”

We can now “walk in newness of life” (v.4). One day, when we are resurrected to live with the Lord, we’ll be removed from the presence of sin forever. Anne Cetas

The Savior can break sin’s dominion,
The victory He won long ago;
In Him there is freedom from bondage,
He’s able to conquer the foe.  —Smith

Our greatest freedom is freedom from sin.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Nehemiah 1-3; Acts 2:1-21
