I live 60 miles from Abilene.
Taught electronics classes at Dyess during 2 summers. Took my 2 week vacation and spent it with about a dozen airmen reviewing for the GROL exam.
It is awesome to see the B-1B’s take off with afterburner kicked in. You can feel the power of the engines in the vibration they cause. Get goose bumps thinking about it.
Our farm headquarters is a reference point in some of their training flights. Love to watch them.
God Bless the United States of America!
Ahhh...thanks for this road trip, (((Lauren)))
Practically home for me!
We were just in that area last weekend when we were going
to OKC to be with my MIL.
A church in Naperville, Illinois, is basking in excitement about its brand-new bells in the belfry above its sanctuary. When the church was built many years ago, they didn’t have the money to purchase bells. However, for its 25th anniversary they were able to raise the funds to hang three bells in the vacant space. Even though they are stunning, there is one problem: the congregation will never hear the bells ring. Although they look real, they are artificial.
The apostle John wrote his first epistle to encourage believers not to just look like real Christians, but to prove they are genuine by how they live. The evidence that a person’s faith is real is not found in some mystical experience with God. The proof that people truly know and love God is found in submitting to His authority and to His Word. John writes, “But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked” (1 John 2:5-6).
If we claim that we have been transformed by the gospel and intimately know and love God, we should validate it by our obedience to His Word.
Read: 1 John 2:3-11

Cool. My folks were stationed at Dyess AFB many moons ago. I remember my mom taking my sister and I to a special event on the airfield that was the very first active B-1 bomber arriving at the base. It was quite a sight to a little kid, let me tell you.
