OK...TODAY, I'M WATCHING A LITTLE FOOTBALL!!

Yes, my LSU Tigers will be playing the Oklahoma Sooners for spot in the National Championship today.

I realize some of you are not football fans, but please bear with me.  I've waited my whole life for an LSU Team like this.

They have it all.  Offense, Defense, Heisman Trophy Quarterback (Joe Burrow), great Coach and so much more!!

It's going to be quite a "shootout",  as Oklahoma is a great team.  May the best team win but....I'm definitely partial to LSU.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

So, in this wonderful time between Christmas and New Years, may you be blessed.  Hope you find some good "After Christmas" deals.

And, if you're a football fan, enjoy the good games today.

BTW, Clemson and Ohio State will play after the LSU Oklahoma game.  The winner of these 2 games today, will go the National Championship Game.   

As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

SEEK & YOU SHALL FIND....

Was speaking with Paul, our mechanic this morning.  He gave me an update on the engine install on the Little Donkey.

It appears that a small grommet accidentally fell into the accessory case and he's "searching diligently" for it.

I reminded Paul of one of my all-time favorite Scriptures found in Matthew 7:7...."SEEK & YOU SHALL FIND...!"

In addition to that powerful prayer, Paul has bought a new state-of-the-art boro-scope with a camera and is searching diligently for that elusive little grommet.

So, I'm asking you to join together with me in PRAYER for Paul to fish that little piece out of the accessory case and that the rest of the Engine Install will progress smoothly and quickly.

Can't even begin to tell you how eager I am to get that Little Donkey back into the air.

So, on this time between Christmas and New Year, may you be blessed and find a little time to rest and reflect on the wonder of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

It still "blows my mind" that the Creator of the Universe would come into this world as a little baby, born in a barn and laid in a manger.

What a story of God's Love and Amazing Grace!!!

And I know that I say this every day, but I mean it with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

THE BIG "RETURN"

Did you receive a gift that you'd like to return?  Join the millions who will, this week.  Hope you have a receipt.

Now, regarding the "Gift" of Jesus...hold on to Him tightly and never let Him go.

Jesus is truly the Gift that keeps on giving!!!

JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US!!!

This "Day After" Christmas Day may we all embrace and remember our Lord Jesus.

Take Him right into the New Year and follow Him wherever He may lead.

Cindy and I are looking ahead to 2020 and believe that our Lord has GREAT THINGS AHEAD for us.

And...may you be EXTREMELY BLESSED by our Lord Jesus!!

THANK YOU, as always, for your precious and invaluable prayer, love and support!!!!

CHRISTMAS EVE ARRIVES....

I love this "Season".  There is no question that Jesus is on the minds of hundreds of millions, if not billions around the world.

The one Scripture that stands out to me is....John 3:16..."FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE.... JESUS"

In this world, there is so much suffering and yet, in the midst of it all is the quiet, sweet message of the Savior born of a Virgin in a humble little barn, laid in manger.

WOW, WHAT A STORY of God's Amazing Grace and His desire to reach into this old world with His Love!

I know very well how easy it is to get lost in the hoopla of the Season.

May we all just take some quiet moments and reflect on the wonder and beauty and grace of the true meaning of Christmas.

I'm so enjoying just spending precious and sweet time with my family and allowing the Love of God to flow freely and richly through me.  Indeed, God's message to us is to receive His great love and grace!!

May you be extremely blessed during this wonderful season and may you be a blessing to others.

THANK YOU for wandering down this road of life with me.  We so appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!!

AN AMAZING DAY OF PARTIES... CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS

Our Air Mobile Team of Volunteers arrived at the Hospital in Orlando and went right into services celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus.

We had 4 celebrations and gave gifts to every patient and above all, brought the Good News of Jesus to folks who are hurting.

Now, I can't give any details, names or photos in compliance with the Confidentiality Rules.

However, we know that our Lord directs us to "Visit the Sick" in Matthew 25:36.

The JOY that we all experienced is priceless and again, we're so BLESSED to have this privilege to share the Gospel freely!!

In the midst of all the "hoopla" of Christmas, may I encourage you to seek out those who are hurting and simply love them with the love of the Lord!!

You'll find that there are countless opportunities around us if we open our eyes and look.

As always, THANK YOU for your precious and invaluable love, prayer and support!!!

STARLINER TOUCHES DOWN...

Just a few moments ago (7:58 AM Eastern time) the Starliner Capsule touched down in White Sands, New Mexico.  The landing was flawless.

We're particularly interested in this space craft, as it will carry U.S. Astronauts back to space.

This will free the U.S. from depending upon the Russians to bring astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).

The Capsule will yield a lot of information.  When things don't go as planned, the information gathered is vast and rich.

As you may know, the Spacecraft initiated a "burn" early and simply ran out of fuel to dock with the ISS.  Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Here's more on this latest Space Mission - STARLINER TOUCHES DOWN - LIVE LINK

Living here on the Space Coast, this is close to our hearts and we certainly PRAY that all goes well when we send Astronauts back into space.

Yesterday was a "gift wrapping day".  We wrapped gifts for every single patient at the Hospital where we've been Chaplains...beginning our 23 years of this particular outreach.  For us, this is a true labor of love.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 25:36...."I was sick and you visited me".

What a joy and privilege it has been to bring the Good News to those who are sick and suffering.

We're getting close to Christmas and as a family, we're so excited about celebrating the birth of Lord and Savior!!

May you be BLESSED during this glorious season!!!

Time to head to Church and then to the Hospital for a lovely Jesus Birthday Party.

As always, THANK YOU for your prayer, love and support!!

THAT'S WHY WE DO "TEST" FLIGHTS....

Watching the launch of the Boeing Starliner capsule yesterday morning was spectacular.

Here's the short video clip I took of the actual launch....FROM MY FRONT YARD!!

It was disappointing to learn that the target orbit for the ISS (International Space Station) was not achieved.  That means that the Starliner will not dock at the ISS.

Fortunately, the Starliner is not 'lost'.  The plan is for it to come back to earth at White Sands, New Mexico on Sunday...if all goes well.

THIS IS WHY WE DO "TEST" FLIGHTS

The "Learning Curve" on this mission is quite high.  I'm confident that some very smart folks will figure all of this out and we can get on with our "MANNED SPACE FLIGHT PROGRAM" right here in the good old USA.

This brings me to the fact that soon, I'll be taking the Little Donkey up for TEST FLIGHTS after the rear engine is all installed and ready to go.

Will be making multiple flights to check out all the systems.  I'm sure that we'll need to make some adjustments and tweaks along the way.  But...THAT'S WHY WE DO TEST FLIGHTS.

Yesterday, fellow pilot, Brad and I took the trusty C-172 up to do some more maneuvers in preparation for the upcoming CFI Check Ride.

Again, it was extremely gusty and windy, a perfect scenario for doing "ground reference maneuvers".  The flight went very well and THANK YOU, Brad for joining me.

Today, Cindy and I are wrapping presents for the kids and grand-kids as well as for the patients at the hospital where we've been Chaplains for over 22 years.  We love our job!!

And, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

TIS THE SEASON....
&...A LIVE SHOT OF THE LAUNCH OF THE "STARLINER".....OOOPS*

One thing is for sure, December 25th is likely not the day our Lord Jesus was born.

Truth is, Biblical Scholars admit they really don't know.

However, I love the fact that we DO honor the birth of our Lord Jesus on December 25th.

"TIS THE SEASON TO PRAISE GOD!!

*OOOPS!!!  STARLINER HAS PROBLEMS - NOT GOING TO ISS (INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION) - WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS...

Meanwhile, here at the Hurston home...I'm about to the shaken by another launch at Kennedy Space Center.

This time the StarLiner Capsule will be flying to the International Space Station to deliver Christmas Goodies for the Astronauts.

This "Mission" will perform many tests to prove the Starliner's ability to carry men into space.

GO STARLINER!

Here's the "Live" shot from my office, to the front of our home and into space!  One of the "perks" of living on the Space Coast!

And...the launch was absolutely beautiful!

Well, it's time to head back to the airport to do a little flying, getting ready for the long-awaited CFI Checkride.

As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

A HOUSE DIVIDED....

It truly is with a broken heart that I watched "History" being made last night.  President Donald Trump was IMPEACHED by the U.S. Congress.

Truly, "A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND".

As never before, I'm PRAYING for our Lord to UNITE this great nation.  What a "mess".  May HE straighten it out!!

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

So, with this dark mark on our history, we go forth and seek to serve our Lord with all of our heart and we'll PRAY FOR OUR NATION!

Please join me in this noble mission!!

THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

A "BLUSTERY" DAY

Darrell Gordon and I took the trusty Cessna 172 up and did some advanced maneuvers on a very windy, blustery day.

Darrel is a long-time friend of Air Mobile and a wonderful pilot.

I'm THANKFUL for such friends!!  

Great practice means of "polishing" skills on a "Blustery" day.

I'm THANKFUL for this time "waiting" for the Little Donkey's engine change, as it gives time to work on getting that CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) rating....finally!!!

Have been following the "Impeachment" drama and it brings me to my knees for our country.  

May I urge you to PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS as our country goes through this very difficult time!!

And I know that I say this every single day, but I truly mean it with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

STUDY & COOKIES

Spent the day studying regulations, procedures and Fundamentals of Instruction for that long-sought after CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) Rating.

It's been a challenge getting our schedules synchronized between airplanes, instructors and student (me)...a lot of moving pieces.  We're getting close!!

Meanwhile, my Cindy spent the day baking cookies for Ari's Teachers, the Hospital and our many friends.  Cindy is a "Cooking Machine"!  

Will be heading to the airport to go fly a little Cessna 172 and polish up on my flight maneuvers for that CFI.

The Little Donkey is almost ready to fly!  YEA!!!

SEEKING WISDOM....

Again, reading in Proverbs 16, I find Words of Wisdom written over 2800 years ago by King Solomon that so apply to today.

The best thing I can do is to "Commit my works to the Lord" and He shall establish my thoughts.

Though I plan this day, may My Lord direct my steps.  The truth is, I NEED HIM each step of the way!

There is so much going on each day and so many variables and decisions to be made, often "on the fly" may I not forget to commit all of my ways to HIM.

Here's a link to Proverbs 16.  May I encourage you to take about 5 minutes and read this wonderful chapter of Wisdom and Guidance.  Your day will go better.

Here it is:  PROVERBS 16 NKJV (New King James Version)

Meanwhile, we're awaiting the final pieces to be installed on the Little Donkey and the clearance to fire up that new engine. We'll then begin performing leak tests and inspections and test flights.

We have a lot of work for that Little Donkey!  I can hardly wait to get back into the air!!

NEVER ALONE....

Came across this verse this morning...."THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE IN EVERY PLACE".  I had to share it with you.

Of course, today being the 15th, I found this verse in Proverbs 15:3.

As you, who wander down this road of life with me know, I often read the Proverb that corresponds to the day.  

This simple and powerful verse brings hope and comfort no matter where we are or what we may be going through.

THANK YOU King Solomon for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and bringing us such wisdom, peace and joy.

On this Sunday, as our Air Mobile Team does every Sunday, we go to a local Hospital, as Chaplains and bring the GOOD NEWS of JESUS and share His great love with those who are hurting.  What  a joy and privilege.

Often, in the Christmas Season, folks are hurting, especially those who are in the hospital away from their family.  Jesus tells us..."I was sick and you visited me".

So, during this Christmas Season, may you reach out to those who are hurting and share the love of God.  This will bring a smile to the face of our Lord Jesus.

Well, it's time for Church and going to the hospital to be with those who are hurting.

As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

A FRESH FLITE PHYSICAL & A GREAT MEETING

I must admit, each and every time I go to get my Flight Physical...I get a little nervous.  Perhaps it's "White Coat Syndrome".

Well, I passed with "Flying Colors"!!  I'm good to fly for 2 more years!!

BTW, my blood pressure was just fine.

PRAISE GOD!!

From my Flight Surgeon's office, headed to Cocoa Beach and had a great meeting with a group who have AMAZING CONTACTS that need creative, efficient means of getting clean water.

It's always a joy to meet Joe, David, Fred & Jim to take the Air Mobile Rescuer to the next level!

This will allow Air Mobile to reach further and bring clean water where desperately needed. 

So, on this rainy, stormy morning in Florida I'm just hanging out and taking it easy.

As always, THANK YOU for your  invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

REACHING FURTHER...

Today, will be in meetings with a group who can help us to expand Air Mobile's outreach to a thirsty world.

There is great potential in these meetings.  PLEASE PRAY that our Lord will lead us and guide us!  Will keep you advised of our progress.

In the meantime, our mechanic, Paul, is making good progress on getting the Little Donkey back in the air.  Yes....I can hardly wait!!

BTW, Paul is a great mechanic and has been working on aircraft since 1963!  

While in Viet Nam, as an Air Force Mechanic, Paul worked on 0-2's, the military version of the Cessna 337 Skymaster (that's what the Little Donkey is).

Paul is a Gift from God to us!  

THANK YOU, PAUL!!

Yesterday, among my errands, I brought little Benjie Bear to the vet for his rabies shot.  What a cutie!

Afterwards, Cindy and I went Christmas shopping for our 10 Grand-kids and for our 8 children.  That was a LOT of shopping...filled a couple of baskets.

You know, just the freedom to be able to travel safely on good roads with nice stores and, yes, reasonable prices demonstrates just how blessed we are, here in America.

May we be ever THANKFUL & NEVER FORGET our Lord's blessings!!

As you know, I rarely get political in this rambling blog but....the IMPEACHMENT hearings and actions are PAINFUL to watch.  

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRAYER FOR AMERICA & FOR OUR LEADERS....they certainly need it!!

Time to go get my Flight Physical today.  As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

"JUST A LITTLE DONKEY"....

While sitting in line to pick up Ariana from school yesterday, I checked my Facebook and someone sent me this sweet Poem (thank you, Patricia).  

I cried.

Our little mission aircraft, affectionately named, The Little Donkey (Ti Burik in Creole) has carried the GOOD NEWS  of JESUS & CLEAN WATER far and wide, especially following catastrophic & devastating events!

It truly is a GIFT from GOD!  I'm ever thankful to Bill Dunklee for donating this sweet bird to Air Mobile 9 years ago.  THANK YOU BILL!!

I so recall when my Cindy named our little airplane, the Little Donkey or Ti Burik (in Creole).

This airplane, like a little donkey, can carry a big load, long distances and does NOT need a lot of food and water (it's extremely efficient).

I'm so THANKFUL for this wonderful tool to bring CLEAN WATER & the LOVE OF JESUS all over this hemisphere.

I'm very excited that the freshly over-hauled rear engine has been installed and we're almost ready for test flights and "break-in".  I can hardly wait!!

I'm reminded of the many friends who sacrificially gave to help to finance this overhauled engine.

I'm especially thankful for Roger Miller (deceased) who kicked off the fund raising for this engine and for Bob Hamilton, a Korean War Veteran who picked up the ball and encouraged so many to give.  

PRAISE GOD for deploying His troops!!

As I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

WONDERFUL INTERVIEW & DONKEY ENGINE...ALMOST READY!

Enjoyed meeting with Major Jim of the Salvation Army and Javed, a dear friend who ministers in Pakistan along with Carroll Henry of WPIO, a great Christian Radio Station.

Carroll invited us in to tell about our ministries.  

Love it when we all work together for the Glory of God!!

We've been a close friend to WPIO for many years and so appreciate Carroll and Randy Henry!!

From the WPIO Interview, I picked up the prop governors for the Little Donkey.

Yahn has been preparing the props to paint and piece by piece, the Little Donkey is ALMOST ready to fly!!

BTW, Yahn is a great WATER MULE and not only builds the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier, but so many other jobs.  He's a gift from God to Air Mobile!!

It's so good to see the beautiful engine coming together.  It's taken a while!!

I can hardly wait to fire up the engines and begin the test flights and the engine "break-in".  

So, it's time to head out and continue to put the many pieces together to launch our next mission.

WORKING TOGETHER....

When I first met Bob and Mare Bostic of "Deliver the Difference", I knew they were special folks.

We've worked together all over the world.  Bob usually "delivers" the food and other critical supplies and Air Mobile brings the clean water. What a team!!

I love Psalm 133:1...."How good and pleasant it is when God's people live (and work) together in unity"...

We're working together on getting vital supplies into the Bahamas following the terrible Hurricane Dorian.  

I'm overwhelmed when I think of the many folks whom we've had the privilege to work together, especially in disasters.

Of course, I'm reminded of a famous quote from my first Pastor, Roy Stockstill.  

While facing a challenge in ministry, many years ago, and not knowing how we would accomplish our goal, Brother Roy smiled and said....

"Son, don't forget, God knows how to deploy His troops".  

Oh, we've seen our Lord come through again and again by sending the right folks at the right time.  

Today, I'll be joining Carol and Randy Henry, the Founders of the WPIO Radio Network, for their Annual "Share-A-Thon".  

These two have faithfully and tirelessly brought the GOOD NEWS of JESUS through the airways for many years.  

I love WORKING TOGETHER with this precious couple.

So, today, on this beautiful day in Florida, we go forth in the Name of Jesus bringing the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel.  What a joy!!

THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable and truly appreciated prayer, love and support!!!

While waiting for the Little Donkey to be ready for the Test Flights following the engine change, there is a lot of business to tend to. 

Will be in meetings with Bob Bostic of Deliver the Difference and coordinating supplies to be shipped to the Bahamas.  Will be getting my Flight Physical and doing a radio interview and more.

As I go through the day, am constantly leaning on our Lord for Wisdom and Guidance, specifically regarding the best course to take regarding my cancer treatment / healing.  

While reading Proverbs 9 this morning, I came across these wonderful verses 10-11.

I particularly enjoyed reading...

"WISDOM WILL MULTIPLY YOUR DAYS AND ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE"!!

So, on this beautiful Monday morning, I go forth with faith and joy and confidence in our Lord's guidance!

NUMBER 1....

After a delightful morning of flying and performing commercial maneuvers, came home and  watched LSU win convincingly over a good Georgia team.

Joe Burrow was absolutely INCREDIBLE and will likely win the Heisman!!  

GEAUX TIGERS!!

Please bear with me as I go on & on about my Tigers, but this may be the best LSU team I've seen in my entire life!!  

Just another game to get to the Championship Title game.  Hope my Tigers can go all the way.

There are times that I just get overwhelmed by just how good our Lord is.  Love this peaceful time "between" missions.

America is a great place to live! I love the Christmas Season to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus.  

PRAISE GOD!!!

And, after Church today, will have the privilege to go to the Hospital in Orlando and share the GOOD NEWS of Jesus!

REMEMBERING PEARL HARBOR....

78 YEARS AGO, today, America was attacked by the Japenese at Pearl Harbor, igniting the flames of World War II.  

Literally millions died and the world was forever changed.  May we not forget the terrible price of war.

May this also be a reminder for us to PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS for them to heed the Word of God and seek to obey Him.  AMEN!

This morning, will be flying some more maneuvers and getting ready for that long-awaited (CFI - Certified Flight Instructor) check-ride.  

Our main challenge is simply "synchronizing" our schedules. Both my Instructor, Glen Gray and the Examiner are Airline Pilots and my schedule is extremely "fluid".   

However....I've so enjoyed the "Basics" of flying during this training.  Can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE TO FLY!!

Then...this afternoon, there will be some GREAT FOOTBALL, including my LSU Tigers taking on the Georgia Bulldogs for the Southeastern Conference Championship.  

Please bear with me if you're not a football fan.  I just love my Tigers!

It's a beautiful day for flying and sometimes, I just get overwhelmed at how good our Lord is to allow me fly!

And, we're getting closer and closer to finalizing the engine change on the Little Donkey.  We've got plenty of flying lined up for that sweet little bird.  I can hardly wait!!

Time to head to the airport to go FLY!!

12-4 = PROVERBS 4

As you may know, I often read the Proverb that matches the date. 

Today, being the 4th, I read Proverbs 4.  This is one of my favorite Scriptures.  GET WISDOM!!

Just navigating through life, brings many decisions. 

PRAISE GOD for HIS WISDOM!

Our Lord wants us to have HIS WISDOM & He is willing to give to all liberally.  We simply need to ASK for it! 

This Scripture reminds us that we need God's Wisdom every day and in all that we do.

I also have another saying that is especially helpful.  It is....A.S.A.P. (Always Say A Prayer).

Just going through life, on a normal day, things often come at us quickly.  

So, today, may we  call upon our Lord and ask Him to guide us through this day.

IF we'll take just a moment and PRAY & ASK FOR WISDOM, before responding....things will go much better. 

Believe me when I say this, I NEED this message in my life and in sharing it with you, I'm reminding myself of this powerful message.  GET WISDOM!!

BTW, here's a link to Proverbs 4 for your enjoyment & edification - PROVERBS 4 NKJV / ESV

So, as I say every single day, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

It was, of course, Sam and Hena's first time to Disney and they had a blast.

PRAISE GOD that we could share Disney with them.

After a lovely day at Disney, Hena needed to get to Dallas to speak in a church tomorrow, so we dropped her at the airport.  

We've worked so closely with Sam and his wonderful family in India bringing the Good News of Jesus and hope to the hopeless and food and clean water to the  hungry and thirsty.  

After dropping Hena at the airport, we found a nice "Indian Restuarant" and enjoyed a delicious Indian meal with Sam.

Sam is getting used to "Steak & Shake" and Pizza, but he misses Indian food.  We hit the target with a great meal.

We'll have Sam with us for a few more days.

So, back to work today and as I say every single day, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

A CHANGE IN SCHEDULE....

Had my day all planned out when Cindy asked...."Why don't you come to Disney with us?"

Mmmm, not a bad idea.

Cindy, had earlier, planned to take Sam and his sister, Hena (from India) to Disney World as a special treat.   

So, today, Cindy, Ari, Sam and Hena (Hannah) and I will be going to Disney World.  

Love these last minute changes, especially one that ends up at Disney World.

THANKS, as always, for your precious prayer, love and support!!

FRIENDS FROM AFAR & A PERFECT SEASON

Our good friend, Sam from India and his Sister Hannah arrived just after midnight.  They'll be with us for the next few days.


Air Mobile has worked closely with Sam and his family for a number of years bringing the Good News of Jesus along with food and clean water to the "Untouchables" in India.

We're blessed to have Sam and Hannah with us!! 

We'll be ministering together at the Hospital in Orlando today.

Last night, my LSU Tigers completed the regular season (12-0) with a convincing victory of arch rival Texas A&M (50-7).

Joe "Burreaux" will likely win the Heisman Trophy.  What a season.  Been following the Tigers all my life and this is probably the BEST TIGER TEAM I've ever seen.  

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Next stop for these incredible Tigers...the Southeast Conference Championship game against a very good Georgia Bulldog team.  May the best team win.

Well, it's time to get to Church and then to the Hospital.  As always, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!!
