Piper is camping this week with her other Grandparents. She is definitely growing up...
Busy with life, you know how that goes!
Read: Ephesians 5:1-17
One of my favorite places to visit in Jamaica is Ocho Rios, home of Dunn’s River Falls—a spectacle that never ceases to amaze. Water cascades down a long series of rocks as it makes its way to the Caribbean Sea. Adventurers can climb the falls, scrambling over rounded rocks on an invigorating trek to the top. The flowing water, the potentially slippery surface, and the steep angles make the going slow and a bit treacherous.
To make it safely to the top, climbers must watch every step. If a person is not careful, he or she could fall on the journey. The keys to a successful climb are concentration and caution.
I can’t think of a better picture of what Paul is saying in Ephesians 5:15 when he says, “walk circumspectly.” We should “be very careful . . . how [we] live” (niv). Clearly, with all of life’s possible dangers coming our way as we climb through life, it is vital that we take each step with Jesus wisely and cautiously. A fool, the passage says, lives carelessly; a wise person watches each step so he does not stumble or fall.
Our goal of being “imitators of God” (v.1) is met, Paul says, as we walk carefully in love (vv.2,15). Through the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we can walk in a way that honors God.
LOL! I do know how that goes. d:o)
We thank them both for their service to our country.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))
Hope you had a nice afternoon. Did you overuse your ankle for the morning, or were you really careful?
I ran across him in a three-piece suit in the men’s department at the JC Penney store in the Glendale Galleria in 1977. I was glad to see he didn’t shop at Rodeo Drive. Down to earth guy.
I was careful!
I performed the service sitting on a bar-stool, which is a first for me.

Good evening, Arrowhead....the night off to get ready.

Clark Gable (1901-1960) [Gone with the Wind (1939); Command Decision (1948)]. Was already a mega-movie star when WWII broke out. Although he was beyond draft age when the U.S. entered the war, Gable enlisted as a private in the AAF on Aug. 12, 1942 at Los Angeles. He attended Officer's Candidate School in Miami Beach, Fla. and graduated as a second lieutenant on Oct. 28, 1942. He then attended aerial gunnery school and in Feb. 1943 was assigned to the 351st Bomb Group at Polebrook, England, where he flew operational missions over Europe in B-17s making film records of the missions. Capt. Gable was rotated back to the U.S. in Oct. 1943 because he was over-age for combat. At his request he was relieved from active duty as a Major on Jun. 12, 1944.
James Garner (1928- ) born James Baumgarner, dropped out of high school at 16 to join the Merchant Marine in the closing year of World War II. Later, in the Army, he received the Purple Heart when he was wounded during the Korean War. He had his first chance to act when a friend got him a non-speaking role in the Broadway stage play "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial (1954)." Part of his work was to read lines to the lead actors and he began to learn the craft of acting. The play led to small TV roles, TV commercials and eventually a contract with Warner Brothers. Director David Butler saw something in Garner and gave him all the attention he needed when he appeared in The Girl He Left Behind (1956). After co-starring in a handful of films during 1956-57, Warner Brothers gave Garner a co-starring role in the the TV western series "Maverick" (1957). The series was highly successful, and Garner continued in it into 1960 when he left in a dispute over money. Garner returned to films, often playing the same type of character he had played on "Maverick". His successful films included The Thrill of It All (1963); Move Over, Darling (1963); The Great Escape (1963) and The Americanization of Emily (1964). Amiable and handsome James Garner has obtained success in both films and television, often playing variations of the charming anti-hero con-man persona he first developed in Maverick.
Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez (1925-2006) [Wings of the Hawk (1953); Rio Bravo (1959)] was born in Aguilares, Texas, and had only the most elemental schooling as a youngster. He remained functionally illiterate for much of his life. One of his early talents was making musical instruments out of tangible items such as hubcaps, water-filled bottles and frying pans. During World War II he was a driver in the Army. First came to notice as a contestant on Groucho Marx's quiz show, You Bet Your Life (1950). His highly amusing personality won him bit parts in films, and he continued to work as a minor supporting player for years. He is the brother of Jose Gonzales Gonzales.
Harold Gould (1923- ) [The Yellow Canary (1963); English as a Second Language (2005)] was born Harold Goldstein in Schenectady, NY. He worked as a professional actor while still in high school, playing several roles in each episode of a local radio station's The FBI In Action. But his high school guidance counselor advised him that very few actors earn a decent living, and suggested he teach instead. He went to college with a career in education in mind, but left to join the Army during World War II. Assigned to a mortar platoon, he saw combat in eastern France. After the war, he earned his PhD in Theatre, and taught drama for many years, spending his summers as a part-time actor. He made his professional stage debut playing Thomas Jefferson in a Virginia production of The Common Glory in 1955, and he won an Obie in 1969 for his first New York stage appearance, The Increased Difficulty of Concentration. Gould is best known as Rhoda's father on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-1977) and Rhoda (1974-1978), and as Betty White's boyfriend on The Golden Girls (1985-1992).
Peter Graves (1926- ) [Fort Defiance (1951); Stalag 17 (1953); Number One with a Bullet (1987)] excelled at sports and music (as a saxophonist) while growing up in Minnesota and by age 16 he was a radio announcer at WMIN in Minneapolis. After two years in the U.S. Air Force in World War II, he studied drama at the University of Minnesota and then headed to Hollywood, where he first appeared on television and later made his film debut in Rogue River (1951). Numerous film appearances followed, especially in Westerns. Graves is primarily recognized for his television work, however, particularly as Jim Phelps in "Mission: Impossible" (1966). Graves is younger brother of James Arness, star of the long-running "Gunsmoke" (1955-1975) TV series.
Fred Gwynne (1926-1993) [On the Waterfront (1954); My Cousin Vinny (1992)] was an enormously talented character actor most famous for starring in the television situation comedies Car 54, Where Are You? (1961) (as "Officer Francis Muldoon") and The Munsters (1964) (as the Frankenstein clone, Herman Munster). He was very tall and had a resonant, baritone voice that he put to good use in Broadway musicals. Born Frederick Hubbard Gwynne in New York City to a wealthy stockbroker father, he attended the exclusive prep school, Groton, where he first appeared on stage in a student production of William Shakespeare's Henry V. After serving in the United States Navy as a radioman during World War II, he went on to Harvard, where he majored in English and was on the staff of the Harvard Crimson student newspaper.
