I remember the incident with his Medal of Honor at the airport from the time it happened.
He should have told the morons he was awarded it for shooting down airplanes ... they would have fainted dead-away.

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...it is BEAUTIFUL here today. Mom wanted to go to the store and shop for flowers, even tho it is only mid April and she always tells me flowers don’t go out til May 1st.
I’m just glad she wants to go this year. She did not last year. The only things out were pansies...so maybe next week we will try again. I know she wants different colors of petunias for out on the deck, but I have no idea what she wants for the garage side of the house.
Have any of your birds returned? I think the ducks must be sitting on nests, or moved on. One pair and a single male are here most every day...but the males are constantly chasing each other, even tho I throw corn in 2 directions. They CANNOT get along. LOL!

Unconventional Tactics
April 18, 2016
We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.
2 Chronicles 20:12
In 1980, a woman hopped on a subway during the Boston Marathon. No big deal, except for one small detail. She was supposed to be running the marathon! Later, witnesses saw her jump into the race less than a mile from the finish line. She finished well ahead of all the other female runners, and oddly, she wasn't winded or even sweating much. For a brief time she looked like the winner.
In a conflict long ago, a people who were losing a battle found a more honorable way to win. When messengers told King Jehoshaphat, "A vast army is coming against you from Edom," he was terrified (2 Chron. 20:2-3). But instead of turning to typical military tactics, Jehoshaphat turned to God. He acknowledged God's supremacy and admitted his own fear and confusion. "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you" (v. 12). Then the king chose singers to lead the army into battle. Instead of a war cry, they sang of God's love (v. 21). The result was startling. Their enemies turned on each other (vv. 22-24). In the end, "The kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side" (v. 30).
Life can ambush us with overwhelming challenges. Yet our fear and uncertainties give us the opportunity to turn to our all-powerful God. He specializes in the unconventional.
Lord, You are not the source of confusion or fear, but of strength and peace. We exchange our panicky plans for Your amazing answers. Encourage us as we wait for You.
Our God is never predictable, but He is unfailingly reliable.
