BON VOYAGE CINDY, PETER & ARI & SPEAKING TO THE O.W.L.S.
Was up early this morning getting Cindy, Peter & Ari to the airport for a flight to Massachusetts. Cindy's family is from there and it's time for a visit. We'll also be seeing our daughter Juliet and her husband, Shaun.
I'll be joining them on Friday and looking forward to it.
This morning, I'll be speaking to one of my favorite groups, the O.W.L.S. (Older Wiser Loving Saints). I love these folks!!!They know how to PRAY and we're so thankful for their love and support!!!

A BIT LATER....
Had a productive meeting yesterday at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) regarding the placement of the Air Mobile Rescuer on-board the International Space Station. Our Wednesday meeting with the Center Director, Bob Cabana, has been postponed as we gather more information. Our quest goes on!
Just after that meeting at KSC, a tornado tore through Space Coast Regional Airport (our home field) and damaged a number of aircraft, including several Cessna 337's.
And a dear friend, Malcolm, who is a Missionary to India, lost his Cherokee in that tornado. Sorry for your loss, Malcolm. That "sudden" tornado is a grim reminder as to how rapidly things can change, especially related to weather. It's a good lesson on being prepared.
That is why we're gearing up for this "Hurricane Season" that has already begun. May we be guided by our Lord this day.
So, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

WILL IT FLY???
Today, I'll be meeting with the NASA Engineers who first recognized that the Air Mobile Rescuer just may be a great benefit on-board the International Space Station (ISS)....and beyond!
Keeping CLEAN WATER flowing to our Astronauts is extremely important!!
We're preparing for our meeting with the NASA Center Director, Astronaut Bob Cabana on Wednesday. Needless to say, we're very excited about these possibilities!!
Our goal is to continue the testing (that has been quite successful thus far) on the remarkable Rescuer. We need to see just how the unit will respond to "Zero G" atmosphere. We're hoping our meeting with Mr. Cabana will allow us to go the next level of testing.
The wonderful thing is, after the tests that have already been conducted, the Engineers want MORE testing. I say...."Test Baby Test"!!
Did you see the Volcano that blew in Guatemala? The death toll is rising. We're keeping a very close eye on this unfolding tragedy. 
Here's more - GUATEMALA'S FUEGO VOLCANO KILLS 25 HUNDREDS INJURED Meanwhile, we're gearing up for Hurricane Season and whatever other catastrophe's may be coming. CLEAN WATER is always at the top of the CRITICAL NEEDS LIST!

& HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH....
Proverbs 3 is one of my all time favorite chapters in the Bible.
Trust in Lord with all your heart, acknowledge Him in all your ways, lean not unto your own understanding and....HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH!
Oh Folks, I need HIS direction in my life everyday and our Lord promises to help us to find the way every day. May I lean on Him more and more!
We had a very pleasant visit yesterday from from Victor and his wife, Lorna. They live in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico right next to the airport.
Our Lord brought Victor and Lorna into our lives when we needed help navigating through the destruction of Hurricane Maria.
Surely, our Lord directed our paths to cross and together, we were able to bring vital help to the suffering. God is good!!
So often in our lives, when we face overwhelming situations, as we did when we landed in Puerto Rico immediately after Hurricane Maria ravaged that Island, we needed HIS DIRECTION! That is the time "Lean on HIM". And...He sent us Victor and Lorna.
And....with the 2018 Hurricane Season ahead, it's good to know that we have friends in Puerto Rico, a great fueling stop and staging platform for future relief work.
May I encourage you to read this wonderful Proverb. It only takes about 5 minutes to read and you'll be glad you did.
Here is a link to Proverbs 3 in the English Standard Version (one of my favorite translations). PROVERBS 3 ESV
Today, we're going to our home Church and then to the Hospital to bring the Good News of Jesus. What a joy and privilege to do so. And....THANK YOU for your prayer, love and support!!!

BACK TO THE "BOOKS"....
It's time to resume my study towards getting my CFII/MEI (Certified Flight Instructor / Instrument / Multi-Engine Ratings).
I lack one more "Written" Test, the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI).
There's a lot of Psychology in FOI and the answers are very similar. In many cases, one just has to memorize the answer given. Keep the coffee flowing and rote applying.
At the same time, I'll be doing "air work" and getting comfortable sitting in the right seat. Most of my 8700+ hours has been in the left seat.
This is a bit of challenge. But, with good training....I shall overcome.
We enjoyed a lovely day at EPCOT yesterday in celebration of Peter's 21st Birthday. I'm so glad that Cindy took advantage of being a "Florida Resident" and got us passes "dirt cheap". Disney / Epcot is a nice place to celebrate!
Yesterday evening, received a call from Victor. Victor was INVALUABLE in helping us do our relief work in Puerto Rico following Hurricanes Irma & Maria.
Well, he's in town and we'll be having lunch today. It's good for us to re-connect as Hurricane Season has begun...yesterday.
Victor and his friends make a great "STAGING TEAM" for relief work in the Caribbean.

Today, officially Hurricane Season opens. Forecasters are calling for a somewhat average season. We'll see.
We're "gearing up" because one bad hurricane can do a lot of damage and cause much suffering.
Meanwhile, in the calm before the storm, we're going to Epcot to celebrate Peter's 21st birthday. Had a lovely dinner last night.

A BIT OF ELECTRICITY & SOME CLEAN WATER & HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER!!
Yesterday, I put some action to my words regarding PREPARING for...whatever may come our way. It's good to "Practice what I preach"!
Went and bought a very cool generator that runs on gasoline and propane and got it for a very good price...$600.00. WOW!
Now, with the ability to produce our own electricity and make clean water with the Air Mobile Rescuer, we're certainly a bit better prepared than we were yesterday morning.
You know, there are a lot of other places we could spend $600.00, but something inside of me told me to invest in our ability to take care of our family and help our neighbors. One never knows what may be right around the corner.
And today, 21 years ago, our son Peter came into this world! Happy Birthday Peter!! Yes, Peter is 6'2"!!
BTW, Peter is beginning his senior year at FIT (Florida Institute of Technology). He's studying Business. We're very proud of Peter!!
Today, we're working on that upcoming meeting with the NASA Center Director at Kennedy Space Center, Bob Cabana.
We're excited about the possibility of our Air Mobile Rescuer providing clean water to the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) and the future Mars Mission and the Moon Base.
This is all in our Lord's Hands, but we're thankful that the proposal has gotten this far. May His will be done!
Time to get on with this day. As I say every day, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

5 WISE VIRGINS....
I recall the Parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25. Our Lord Jesus describes 5 wise and 5 foolish.
The main difference between was, 5 went and bought oil when the stores were open and it was readily available.
Hmmm, could this be a life lesson for us? Oh, there are many dimensions to this parable, but I'd like to simply point out one today.
Having just had Alberto, the first Named Storm of 2018 pass and, it is still wreaking havoc, brings us to the reality that Hurricane Season is upon us. This year is projected to be a ABOVE AVERAGE.
Now would be a good time to prepare. It just so happens that a dear friend of mine gave me a $100.00 Gift Certificate for Tractor Supply.
And....Tractor Supply has a 7500 Watt Dual Power (runs on Propane and Gasoline) on sale. It's time to cash in that Gift Certificate and go buy that Generator!
In other words, I'm "Practicing what I'm Preaching"!
Cindy and I will put off buying some "other" things, and today, we'll buy this vital tool BEFORE the next storm, or whatever else comes that could knock out our electricity.
The bottom line in today's rambling blog is, don't be like the "5 Foolish Virgins" who wished they had bought "oil" when it was readily available. Cindy and I would not have liked to have been "kicking ourselves" for NOT buying that generator when we could.
And, for the record, I'm not an agent for Tractor Supply. They didn't pay me a dime for writing about their generator. There are a lot of great Generator deals among many stores. Check it out for yourself.
Whether you buy a generator or simply stock up on some extra food or batteries or whatever, consider doing something today to be better PREPARED!! STORMS in life will come!!
And, Air Mobile is gathering up more supplies to be READY for what lies ahead. So, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious and invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

Oh, America has it's problems but....overall, it's a great place to live. I love the freedom, opportunity and absolute beauty of this place.
We love Playalinda Beach, where we spent yesterday, right next to Kennedy Space Center.
I'm also extremely grateful for the men and women who gave their lives that we might enjoy this great country.
It's the day after Memorial Day and time to get back to work. But, let us not forget the price that has been paid for America!
Today, will be laying out the agenda for an upcoming meeting with the NASA Center Director (Bob Cabana) for Kennedy Space Center.
Will be discussing the possible usage of the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier on-board the International Space Station (ISS). This has long been our dream and we're moving a step closer with this meeting.

Tommy was an extraordinary young man who loved the Lord Jesus. He died at the age of 19 years old at the hands of terrorists.
Tommy is buried in Arlington Cemetery. We join so many others who remember their loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
May you be blessed on this Memorial Day. May we all remember those who served, sacrificed and are serving to make this great country what it is today.

AWAKENED BY A WX ALERT...REMEMBERING..... MEMORIAL DAY
Do you have a Weather Radio? If not, I suggest you get one. They're great.
They are not very expensive, about $25-$30 and well worth it.
I was awakened at 4:45am with a possible tornado threat. Glad to have that little jewel waking me up. I was able to "Batten down the Hatches" (lower our hurricane shutters).
The reason for all these "warnings"....Sub Tropical Storm Alberto is passing abeam us out in the Gulf of Mexico.
I can tell you, Alberto has a lot of rain! We've been having rain here in Florida for the last 2 weeks. No "drought" here!
There will be NO Sunny Florida on this Memorial Day weekend. Here's more on Alberto - ALBERTO EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
And...on this Memorial Day, here in America, we remember those who have served and those who have laid their life down for our freedom.

Tommy loved the Lord and is with our Lord Jesus in heaven.

REFINING....DROSS
In reading Proverbs 25, this morning, I came across verse 4...take away the "dross".
I'm reminded of how our Lord is continually working on us. THANK YOU, LORD!
As we go through the trials and challenges of life, the heat increases and so does the pressure and....as we turn toward the Lord, the dross comes to the surface. It's painful, but needful.
Then, it will become beautiful pure silver to be made into jewelry in the Hands of our Lord. Oh Lord, let it be in me!!!
The Book of Proverbs is, indeed, the Book of Wisdom. I don't read it everyday, but when I need "adjustments in my life", I go there.
Just as a matter of practice, I often go to the day of the month and read that particular Proverb (today being the 25th, I read Proverbs 25).
It works for me and the most important thing is to go to the Word of God...to get that light for our pathway....as I shared in yesterday's blog.
Are you facing challenges today? I suspect you are, as we all go through "stuff". May I urge you to turn to the God's Word and seek His wisdom. He'll be there!!

THY WORD...A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH
Met with our dear friends, Ric Hutchinson and his Mom, Debbie yesterday. They have been missionaries in Haiti for many years.
So good catching up and hearing their plans for the future.
Ariana joined us, for a feast of a breakfast, as only Cracker Barrel can do. This is good training for her, as she has a tender heart to serve the Lord.
BTW, Cindy was at the hospital with her Dad for surgery. It was successful and he's doing well.
As we discussed the "Challenges" of working in Haiti, we kept coming back to the Word of God. Indeed, "A Light Unto Our Path...."
Haiti, like many mission fields, has so many staggering problems....but, with God, all things are possible.
At the end of our time together, we PRAYED for our Lord to lead us each step of the way.

A CALL FOR ADVICE....
Cindy, Ari and I had just departed a local "Thrift Store" (you can get GREAT bargains!!).
We needed some wall art for a little place that we're "fixing up". For pennies on the dollar we departed feeling smug and happy.
The phone rang. It was a gentleman going to Haiti and needed some advice. After listening to his plans, my simple advice was...."DON'T GO"! At least not with your itinerary.
He would have been traveling with an unknown driver, on the most dangerous road in Haiti.... AFTER DARK! A very bad combination.
I'm glad he called. He's seriously re-considering his trip and looking into an alternative itinerary.
You may recall, recently, another Humanitarian group was ambushed, driver shot and killed and the group sustained serious injuries by....traveling on a dangerous road after dark!
Thank God, we were able to fly in and get them out. BTW, they are recovering but still need our prayers.

OPEN SCHEDULE....SOMEWHAT
One of the things that I love when..."between missions" is the freedom to keep my schedule "somewhat" open. This is not an easy thing to do, as needs are ever-present. But, it can be done to some degree.
Let me explain. It would be easy to completely fill every spare moment with activity. It need not be that way.
Now Folks, let me be perfectly clear. I HAVE NOT, in any way mastered this feat, but I'm working on it.
For example, our daughter, Ariana is a promising writer. Her imagination is extraordinary and her command of the English language is impressive.
I love spending time with her and even taking dictation as she writes.
BTW, our recent mission to India gave Ari a lot of "material" for a future book.
And sometimes, we take a scooter ride to nowhere. Just cruising around.
Oh, there are always "things" to be done. We just don't have to do them....all at the same time.
Thus, this blog this morning stating that I have nothing special or extraordinary on my "To Do List".
Cindy and I are about to leave to go shopping for an area rug. Then, only our Lord knows what will happen for the rest of the day. My schedule is "somewhat" open.

The pilot threaded his way between multiple storms enroute and sought the smooth air...as best he could.

Time to head home. I'm so glad to have taken the time to get this invaluable training from Garmin. It'll make future flights safer and...a bit easier. Once you know how to use the tools, the machine (the Avionics) can work for you. I love it!!
For years I've wondered if my memory was serving me regarding an old Hotel in Kansas City.
While I was with Kerry of Tri-Star Experience yesterday, I posed the question. Did Kansas City ever have a "Hotel New Yorker"? Kerry thought for a moment and said he didn't remember one.
Mmmm, was my memory failing me? Meanwhile, we called a former TWA Pilot, Dusty. I posed the question. He said, YES. Many TWA Pilots would stay there. 
So, Kerry and I took a ride downtown and found where the Hotel New Yorker used to be. Victory! My memory did not fail me.
Now, there's more to this story and it involves Barry Seal, but I'll write more about it later.

Catching a flight to Kansas City early this morning. For the next few days, will be in intense training on Garmin Avionics.
As a pilot, I must say, today's navigation / communication equipment is absolutely spectacular!
For example, when I first began flying in the Caribbean (40 years ago), the primary navigation system was ADF (Automatic Direction Finder). 
There was no GPS. It was pretty "easy" to get lost and simply run out of fuel.
Over the years, a number of aircraft & ships have been lost in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE!
And yes....I could tell you a story or two, but not today.
Now, this new generation of equipment is so capable, and there are so many features, it just takes good old-fashioned training to know how to more fully open the "treasure box" of information.
That's why I'm going to Garmin Headquarters to learn more about these wonderful instruments.
Time to head to the airport. I'm really looking forward to this training.
BTW, Garmin has been very gracious to Air Mobile and donated invaluable avionics. THANK YOU GARMIN!!!!

We now have a means of increasing our output by 500%. We're "tweaking" the system and soon, it will be ready for production.
Today, I'll be with Paul, our wonderful mechanic. We'll be going over the next inspection for the Little Donkey. We're gearing up for the "next mission".
Tomorrow, I'll be heading to Olathe, Kansas to the Garmin Factory. Will be engaged in some intense training on the Garmin G-500 / Garmin 750.

THE "QUEST"
We are on a "Quest" to bring CLEAN WATER to a thirsty world.Our Lord has graciously given us a remarkable machine (Air Mobile Rescuer) to take very dirty & contaminated water and make it very clean.
With your help, we've been able to travel to the "hot spots" of the world following terrible disasters and bring CLEAN WATER to the thirsty. PRAISE GOD!!To date, we've been able to place over 1200 Rescuers in 47 countries.
While in Ecuador, following a massive earthquake, CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) helped us to make a TRAINING VIDEO for the Air Mobile Rescuer.
If you'd like to know more about this amazing machine, just take a peek at the video to learn how to set-up / operate / maintain and trouble-shoot the Rescuer.Here's the video - AIR MOBILE RESCUER TRAINING VIDEO
BTW, we're extremely THANKFUL to CBN for helping us to make this excellent training video.
Over the years, I've written about the Rescuer countless times. If you've ever been curious to see just how this "miracle machine" works, be sure to take a look at the video.
You'll see just how simple the unit is to operate and what an awesome "game-changer" it is, particularly after catastrophic disasters.
We are continually improving the Rescuer based upon actual "Field Experience".
Our QUEST goes on to make the best portable water purification system on the planet!! With our Lord's help, we're doing just that!!
I am so glad that you have joined us on this QUEST! THANK YOU, again for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

A NOBLE MISSION....
This morning, while reading Provers 11, I came across verse 25.I realized again that you and I are on a very noble mission...that of bringing CLEAN WATER to the thirsty.
Our Lord has truly blessed us with a remarkable machine that takes very dirty water and makes it very clean. This is an awesome gift to the thirsty!
We go about our day, seeking ways to bring more clean water to the thirsty, and I am so glad that you are with us on this journey.
I am ever reminded of the Words of our Lord Jesus...."I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink..."Together, we have been able to place 1200+ Air Mobile Rescuers in 47 countries and....we've only just begun!!!
That is why I say every single day, and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!
