Bittygirl is busy telling us about the big rock flying in the sky.

It would seem we have a 3/4 moon this evening.

Saturday morning Bump for the Freeper Foxhole

Virtual Yankee Air Musuem AIrshow pics for those of us that can't go

BTW FWIW there will be an airshow in Kansas City the weekend of Sept 16-17 and IIRC the Blue Angeles will be there. Haven't been to an airshow at the Downtown airport but about 5 yeras ago when they had the show there the BA's formed up right over the daughters house, which we were roofing that weekend, after the BA's did the bomb burst manuever.

My dad was born in 1942. The family lived in a small town about 30-35 air miles from Mather Field. It was a small town, often used as a waypoint for navigation. The family's house was very oftern used as an aim point for bombing and dive practice.

Did I mention the roof was blue yet...

Run With Horses

If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? —Jeremiah 12:5

In the Olympic Games, the greatest runners of the world compete for gold medals and laurel wreaths. Long before the final race, competitions are held in countries throughout the world to weed out those who are not fast enough to compete. At the Games, the fastest of the fast qualify for the final competition.

The prophet Jeremiah was also involved in a fierce competition—but it was with idolaters and wicked priests. He was responding to the Lord’s call to condemn Judah and to predict her downfall. He became so discouraged that he asked the Lord, “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are [they] happy?” (12:1).

That’s when God said to Jeremiah, in essence, “The competition has just begun. So far you’ve been dealing with minor issues (running with footmen). How will you handle it when the really tough stuff comes (contending with horses)?”

Perhaps you’ve run into some difficulties recently: your boss, an illness, conflicts in your church. You’ve pleaded with the Lord for relief. But He may have said in response, “Toughen up. Dig in. It may get worse.” When He asks you to “run with horses,” He will be with you to strengthen and sustain you. That’s what God does. David C. Egner

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.  —Flint
© Renewal 1969, Lillenas Publishing Co.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.  —Philippians 3:14

Non-diary creamer added to boiling coffee will create a fizzy 'head'.

I know how that is. We had to move 3 times in 1 1/2 years, pain in the back.

Spared From Death

You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. —1 Corinthians 6:20

On August 6, 1945, Kanji Araki, then a toddler, was playing on the floor. Although an air-raid siren had sounded a warning, few paid it any heed since Hiroshima had previously escaped bombing. Then a blinding flash lit up the sky. Superheated air rushed at tremendous speed, knocking down buildings and setting the center of the city ablaze. In the days that followed the nuclear detonation, Kanji’s grandmother, brother, and sister died from radiation sickness.

As Kanji grew up, he experienced emotional conflict about those who suffered and died because of the bomb. His parents were Christians, but Kanji adopted a secular view of life. Yet he felt a growing emptiness inside. He began to study the Bible to discover for himself who Jesus is. At a spiritual turning point, Kanji put his trust in Christ, and his empty heart was filled with God’s wonderful assurance. When the Lord led him into the ministry, he cited 1 Corinthians 6:20 and said, “I was spared from death so that my life might have a higher purpose in serving God.”

The apostle Paul had also been spared to serve God. “I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you,” he said (Colossians 1:25). What has God entrusted to you? Dennis Fisher

Lord, I thank You for salvation,
For Your mercy, full and free;
Take my all in consecration,
Glorify Yourself in me.  —Codner

Knowing God gives meaning to life, and obeying God gives purpose to life.
