Good evening Lauren and thanks for this week’s Road Trip!
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
I work out of Patrick and frequently have to fly cross country to LA Space Force Base for space related meetings. Since it borders LAX, I rarely find myself leaving the El Segundo area. Never will I venture into LA anymore.
Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ*
Did you get through the day intact? I hear it got a bit rough in some parts of TX today.
Every time I hear El Segundo I think of Fred Sanford mentioning it in a monster movie on TV about some creature that ate El Segundo.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Los Angeles Los Angeles, the city so nice they named it...er they didn’t name it. In the olden days a bunch of Spaniards came through and remarked “eh. Estamos en Los Ángeles (hey. We’re in Los Angeles).”
A love song dedicated to LA;

I spent 3.5 years there from ‘90 to ‘93. Lived in Manhattan Beach and enjoyed it immensely. Best assignment of my career.
Bible in a Year :
You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
For decades, McDonald’s ruled fast food with their Quarter Pounder burger. In the 1980s, a rival chain cooked up an idea to dethrone the company with the golden arches. A&W offered the Third Pound Burger—larger than McDonald’s—and sold it for the same price. Even more, A&W’s burger won numerous blind taste tests. But the burger bombed. Nobody bought it. Eventually, they dropped it from the menu. Research revealed that consumers misunderstood the math and thought the Third Pound Burger was smaller than the Quarter Pounder. A grand idea failed because people missed the basics.
Jesus warned of how easy it is to miss the basics. Religious leaders, scheming to trap and discredit Him during the week He was crucified, posed a strange, hypothetical scenario about a woman who was widowed seven times (Matthew 22:23–28). Jesus responded, insisting that this knotty dilemma wasn’t a problem at all. Rather, their problem was how they didn’t “know the Scriptures or the power of God” (v. 29). The Scriptures, Jesus insisted, aren’t first intended to answer logical or philosophical puzzles. Rather, their primary aim is to lead us to know and love Jesus and to “have eternal life” in Him (John 5:39). These are the basics the leaders missed.
We often miss the basics too. The Bible’s main aim is an encounter with the living Jesus. It would be heartbreaking to miss it. .
Reflect & Pray
How do you miss Scripture’s basics? How can you return to the basics . . . to Jesus?
Dear God, sometimes I get lost even amid good things. Please help me.
Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
We also had BBQ chicken wings for supper.
How's everyone doing this morning?
I was there from 83-85 at the MILSTAR SPO. I was amazed that most of the AF personnel had 4 year stabilized tours there. In fact many would rotate between 3 bases in California and retire without ever leaving the state of CA. Those bases were LAAFS, Norton AFB and Vandenburg AFB.
