A REAL WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!
John Gebhardt’s wife, Mindy, said that this little girl’s entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head…but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John’s hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last...
the season of quirky but awesome gifts
This Christmas has been different in the way of meaningful gifts compared to recent years. However, it has also been the year for, as the title of this post suggests, especially unique gifts.
Through the blur in this picture from our aging camera, you may be able to make out the words “THE CLAPPER.” 1st prize: Jordan. The sad part: we really use it.
2nd prize: Tommy with...
CHRISTmas
Luke 2
The Birth of Jesus
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world…And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be...
twas the night before christmas air force style
“Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the skies,
Air defenses were up, with electronic eyes.
Combat pilots were nestled in ready-room beds,
As enemy silhouettes danced in their heads.
Every jet on the apron, each SAM in its tube,
Was triply-redundant linked to the Blue Cube,
And ELINT and AWACS gave coverage so dense
That nothing that flew could slip through our defense.

I went outside 3 hours ago
and my 14 inch footprint is gone.
and my wife makes the best tater tots.
and I just found out Jack Bauer’s subordinate is the mole.
let it snow!
What does 10 inches of global warming get you? A snow day of Christmas baking & Jack Bauer! Enjoy the snow, everybody!!!
This is the snow piled up outside our door - we can’t get up the stairs!
Salvation Air Force
I went to my first DEP (Delayed Entry Program) meeting today, which was a Salvation Army event where I helped pack up Christmas goods to needy famillies in Winchester. It was pretty slow and really cold, but it was good to finally be doing something with the AF and try to meet new DEP people. Thanks to Clayton for coming along. I found out one of the kids I did my initial processing with will be...

Today Sam signed all of the official paperwork to be enlisted as an Airborne Mission Systems Apprentice. He is all set to go and got all of the paperwork in to claim me as a dependant and receive the health benefits and BAH (basic housing allowance) when he ships off in April. We are in the process of switching over to the USAA (our new bank through the AF). The 4th attempt to acquire his college...

I will be able to visit him for a long weekend at graduation in...
Dec 1st, 2009...amen!
Got an email from a little girl today that had a heart-wrenching story about a little boy believing in God, and at the end was this quote by someone in the middle of the mess we’ve made out of this country: “The quote of the month is by Jay Leno: ‘With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to...
