The only time I ever flew in a USAF plane was a ride in a KC-135 to go refuel a flight of those dudes. Pretty cool being this ---><--- close to the canopy of a moving fighter.

Snippy, don't be lonely while you're on the road!



Take some time to see the sights.



I'll pop in to see if your lurking around!



Don't get bent out of shape, Sam and the dogs will join you soon.
HUGS and Love to you, good luck!

Realistic Expectations

READ: 2 Timothy 4:16-18

No one stood with me, but all forsook me. . . . But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me. —2 Timothy 4:16-17

One of the things I’ve learned as  I’ve grown older is not to expect too much from people. It’s possible to pour a good deal of energy and love into a friend or family member and see no growth or receive no gratitude for our efforts. It’s even possible that others may receive credit for the work we’ve done.

If we expect everyone to recognize and appreciate what we have done for them, we will certainly be deeply hurt. We’ll start asking ourselves: “Is this all the thanks I get?”

It’s good in those times of disappointment to look at our motives. Do we have an unholy sense of entitlement, or a passion to be seen and applauded for our efforts? Can we give freely and allow others to take responsibility for their own responses? The apostle Paul went through times in his service for the Lord when everyone forsook him. Yet his focus was on the strength that God gave him “so that the message might be preached fully” through him (2 Timothy 4:16-17).

We should never expect to gain from others what only Jesus can give. To do so is to be utterly unrealistic. Our task is simply to give and leave the results to our Master, knowing that in time we will receive His reward: “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21). David H. Roper

The service that we do for God
May go unpraised by men;
But when we stand before the Lord,
He will reward us then.  —Sper

Work done well for Christ will receive a “well done” from Christ.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Psalms 10-12; Acts 19:1-20

Good morning ladies and gents. Flag-o-Gram.

The earliest documented artifacts to show a rendition of the American flag are these Continental artillery officer's sword belt tips. There are four known existing examples. They were made by a Philadelphia silversmith at the Park of Artillery at Pluckemin, New Jersey in the early spring of 1779.

I are such a stinker, at times :-)

Yes, Miss Scarlett! She's a little mut dog and he loves having a playmate. She is 6 months old. We got her when she was about 11 weeks old from the shelter.




My three darlings sound asleep ;-)

The skeeters in Florida are no big deal. A 20-gauge 'll take 'em out.
