.... Never Forget Taps |
Sadly no :-(
Back in the day of my misspent youth a buddy of mine and I were going to go. This would have been about 1970. However his car, a Morris Minor, and our parents put the kibosh on the trip.
One of these days maybe.
If you have a reason to be travelling in the grand state of Iowa and happen to be in or around Iowa City here is place to stay if need be.

Oh looky, a FOG
Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven.
At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter. He says, "Sisters,
youall led such exemplary lives that the Lord is granting you six months
to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be
The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren;" and *poof* she's gone.
The second says, "I want to be Madonna and *poof* she's gone.
The third says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini.."
St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he ask
"Sara Pipalini;" replies the nun.
St. Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, but that name just
doesn't ring a bell."
The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to
St.Peter.
St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her
and says.
"No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by
1,400 men in 6 months."

If you laugh, you are going straight to hell!
Would you believe I didn't even notice that

READ: Romans 3:21-28
The righteousness of God . . . is revealed . . . through faith in Jesus Christ. —Romans 3:21-22
While visiting Jamaica on a missions trip with high school students, I discovered how much the people there love the game of cricket.
So I asked a Jamaican teenager to explain it to me. We sat on the ground, and he used rocks and sand drawings to help me understand it. Later, as our group was enjoying delicious jerk chicken, some of us watched a televised cricket match while a coach pointed out what was happening. Yet, after 11 days with Jamaicans, I still didn’t understand their favorite game.
I’m sure some Jamaicans feel that way about American football. And millions of people worldwide consider baseball a mystery. One reason we may not like one another’s sports is that we don’t understand them.
Could that be true of the way you view Christianity? Could it be that you dislike it because it seems too complicated? Maybe it seems to you to be about rules and a big thick book with words you don’t understand.
Actually, Christianity is simple: We can be made right with a holy God through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. Our sins can be forgiven forever (see Romans 3:24,28; 10:9-10). Check it out. You’ll discover why believers love Jesus, and you’ll learn to love Him too.

READ: James 2:14-20
They desired only that we should remember the poor. —Galatians 2:10
Members of the First Presbyterian Church in Snohomish, Washington, had a large supply of leftovers from the celebration of their 125th anniversary. They decided to give the food to the women and children in a nearby homeless shelter. As a chilling rain poured down outside, volunteers unloaded containers, one of which included a large cake. Someone remarked, “I hope today is somebody’s birthday.” A homeless woman replied, “Every day inside is a holiday.”
Jesus knew the experience of homelessness. He said, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20). Yet no one had more compassion for the poor.
James emphasized the need for believers to help each other materially. He wrote, “If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?” (2:15-16).
We must help the spiritually destitute find a heavenly home by sharing the gospel with them, but we must never neglect those who are poor in this world’s goods. A heart for God will also be a heart for the homeless.
Good morning feather. Good morning Foxhole troopers.
How goes it snippy?? New job getting easier as well as a new place to live??
I would find that really hard to do I think. I am such a stick in the mud. I do like to travel, but thoughts of moving just chill me to the bone.
I hope all is working out for you, Sam and the dogs.
Thank you miss feather.
We're still jumping through hoops with the bank so we've no place to live down here yet.
The job is coming along fine. We are hoping to know something tomorrow. Arggh, it's so frustrating.
Sam has been packing (up to a point) in NC but until we get a definite answer we are in a 'sit and wait' mode and have been for three weeks!
Frustration abounds!
Prayers up for a call from the bank!
All will work out in time.
Rocky rocks you've run before
and thought that each and every door
was closed,
but then a glimmer of light
shown in...you and Sam came walking through!!
Tampa Bay plays at MacDill
Col. Maggie Woodward, 6th Air Mobility Wing commander, presents a framed flag to Jon Gruden, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, after the pre-game, walkthrough practice held at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., on Aug. 18. The practice was closed to the general public but open to base personnel. Airmen who attended the practice were able to get an up-close look at the 2006 Buccaneers team.

This pic should be good for at least a grin.
