HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY


        HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY (2020)

           I live in Warner Robins, Georgia, home of the Robins Airforce base. A lot of historical breakthroughs populate the airwaves when the subject has to do with flying. The Aerospace industry has many museums and facilities dedicated to keeping a good perspective of the many developments which make us immensely proud of the diligence bravery and tenacity of  our ‘flying’ men and women.

         This Mother's Day, I want to give a special tribute to the industry of women all over the various departments of life and the economy, both in the US and all over the World . These are our Sisters, Cousins, Neighbors, Friends, and hard-working ladies in many capacities. From the ‘no- office’ Worker to the ‘big-office’ Executive, who are women, kudos to your fortitude, loving care, and family support.
From the self-employed to the non-employed who are women, the population of women on the planet has made its strength and calling known. They have come from behind us men, to walk beside us, and many times they have walked before us . Yet, they often-times play their roles with the softness of their gender and  the firmness of leadership . They do all this and above all else, they nurture our children to the peak of excellence in life. Where would we be without women ? We would not be alive; and we definitely would not be born. On behalf of all the men, I doff my hat to you all. I close this piece by referring to the WASPs (not the insect bug!) 
The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) (also Women's Army Service Pilots or Women's Auxiliary Service Pilots) was a civilian women pilots' organization, whose members were United States federal civil service employees. Members of WASP became trained pilots who tested aircraft, ferried aircraft, and trained other pilots. Their purpose was to free male pilots for combat roles during World War II. Despite various members of the armed forces being involved in the creation of the program, the WASP and its members had no military standing.
These women did an excellent job during the war;  many of them were mothers, wives, and aircraft pilots. What else could you ask for in heroic bravado?
The head of the WASP program was Jacqueline Cochran, a pioneering aviator. (After the war, she became the first woman to break the sound barrier.)
Even in relatively peaceful times the drive is still there. Keep it up ladies and  Happy Mother’s Day. Celebrations are in order! God bless.

Beyond Rabbits, Candles and Cakes.

O nly God knows in totality. (Omniscience). He knows what is, and that which is yet to come. Beyond the memories and the historical records, He knows what was, and even beyond eternity past. I spent a quiet Resurrection Sunday, reflecting on the immensity of the Christ Gospel. I found confirmation again, that beyond what the human mind could ever fathom, dwells the simple and gentle all powerful eternal truth of the Christ o s. When three Magi tracked the celestial omen in the night sky for many years, when they, taking advisement from the Angelic hosts were able to circumvent the plots of Herod, king and assassin, there was a Divine fiat established out of Heaven the Mission control Center for the Prince of Heaven’s journey into the midst of mankind (Immanuel).            Predicted in Psalm 91 and used by Satan at our Lord’s temptation (He shall give His Angels charge over thee), we see that snapshots of this Divine entrance had been placed with key players

Adieu 2014

Image
        As the year 2014 quietly faded into the celestial archive to which all years eventually go, I became conscious of the presence of God. I have progressively, by His grace grown in sensing His presence over the years. By His Spirit, God makes His presence felt.                    The writers of the Books of the Holy Bible, inspired by this same presence, gave us so much insight into how the presence may be sought. I spent the last few days of 2014, seeking the face of God even more intensely. Why do this ? Knowing that 2014 was going to fade into memory, without a residue. It was necessary to ride the transition on a more concrete assurance of the presence of God, than on a fading memory. The Holy Spirit was my comfort through the fast fading year, and He will still be the lifter of my head in 2015!           In the Book of Romans, this same Spirit of God, moved Paul to write in verses 27 & 28 of Chapter 8:              "And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth w

A Day the Lord Has made

A BRIGHT NEW DAY  Everyday we wake up in bed, is a  new opportunity. We may have brought some old stuff through the night as we tossed and turned, However  in all reality, the day is new because the rays of the new day's sun bathe everything in a new perspective which demands a new reality. In my book  A BRIGHT NEW DAY,   I explore this paradigm to great lengths. We all need to see each day as a fresh opportunity, full of potential. Then, we have a chance to use the building blocks we have to a greater advantage and a successful outcome. So, how do we plan to use this insight? FIRST Go to bed with expectation. Tomorrow is going to present a fresh start. A better approach and a wiser choice. The mistakes, the misteps, the misunderstandings of today were meant to clarify certain issues and lead us into the paths of righteousness. They are not meant to be repeated and even if we repeat them, we should by now have a sensitivity to notice the error quicker than before. In other words we
