FLU BLUES....
Our Ariana has the flu. Please remember her in your prayer. We're believing God for a complete healing.
Had a wonderful time with the O.W.L.S. (Older - Wiser - Loving - Saints) yesterday.
Before I spoke, prayer requests were taken. One by one, they were listed. These folks are in no hurry. PRAYER is serious business.
I love these guys!! It's always a joy and great privilege to speak for them.
THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!!

SPEAKING TO THE O.W.L.S.
For years, I've had the privilege to speak to a wonderful group of PRAYER WARRIORS, AKA: THE O.W.L.S. (Older - Wiser - Loving - Saints).
These precious ones have faithfully stood with Air Mobile over the years and above all... they PRAY for our ministry. I love them!!
From time to time, they have me come and share what our Lord has put on my heart. It's always a JOY!!
Many of them have walked with Jesus for 50+ years and yes, they have seen our Lord's FAITHFULNESS again and again.
Again, I'm so blessed to have them standing with us with their PRAYER!
Well, it's time to "polish" up my message and head over to speak to this great group!
And...as I say every day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

"BADGED"
It was time to renew my NASA Badge and....they sure do check things out thoroughly, especially when getting a "multi-year" badge.
PRAISE GOD, all checked out and I picked up the badge yesterday.
We are so THANKFUL to NASA for helping us to improve the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier.
Where would we be without so many helping us to make dirty water clean?
When we CLEAN up the drinking water, wonderful things happen. Most disease goes away!! This is a noble mission.
I'm ever reminded of the Words of our Lord Jesus...."I was thirsty and you gave Me drink"
And THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

WHAT'S AHEAD?
As we begin this week, there's a sense of anticipation for what our Lord will have us do.
Will be able to go check on the engine for the Little Donkey.
Don George* is doing a great job on the engine overhaul. I can hardly wait to get that sweet little bird back in the air!!!
Will also be scheduling more training toward the CFI (Certified flight Instructor) Rating.
So, as we launch into this new week, May His will be done!!
THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

A QUIET SUNDAY...
Can't begin to tell you good it is to be home!! On this quiet Sunday, will just rest and reflect on the wonder and love our Lord Jesus.
Cindy is working at the hospital today and Ari is not feeling well. Will just stay home and take care of her (she's feeling better).
Our good friends, Alfred and Lisa Menendez will cover our Chaplain ministry at the Orlando Hospital.
I know that I tell you this every day, but it is so true....THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

RUNNING ON FUMES...
After the 12 hour drive from Tennessee to Florida, on about 3 hours of sleep, dodged a wicked line of storms while heading to Kennedy Space Center.
Had to submit Security Documents for my long term Badge for NASA. From NASA, rolled right into meetings with Overland Mission.
We're discussing an opportunity presented to Overland to take over a magnificent facility (missionary compound) in Zambia.
We went over the need for clean water and setting up an aviation operation. We'll be reaching out to Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) for advice.
After those meetings, headed home and simply collapsed.
Just felt like I ran out of fuel...running on fumes.
But OH, it's good to be home. After a good nights sleep, I feel much better and refreshed. God is good!!
This week, will be resuming the flight training in preparation for the CFI check-ride.
THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

12 HOURS LATER....
It's easy to take our good highways for granted. Driving from the Mountains of East Tennessee to Florida is over 700 miles and I did it in about 12 hours.
Hardly ever got below 60 mph. No real traffic jams and the road was smooth as silk.
I'm reminded of the (literally) millions of people moving or escaping or evacuating around the world.
My heart breaks....
This morning, I'll be meeting with Overland Missions located in Cocoa, FL. This is a great organization.
They're wanting more information on the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier and some guidance on Mission Aviation for project in Zambia.
May our Lord direct us as He wills!!
It's a joy to work together with other missions. I believe it brings a smile to the face of our Lord Jesus when we work together!
Here's more on Overland Missions - OVERLAND MISSIONS
Before meeting with Overland, I'll be delivering paper work to NASA for my Security Clearance.
It's good to be home!! THANK YOU, as always. for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN....
Can't help but think of Willy Nelson at times like this.
Wrapping up the cabin and heading back to Florida. Mission(s) Accomplished.
It's a 12 hour journey back to Florida...with no delays.
Time to start rolling. Sure have missed my Cindy and Ari (and Andy and Pippin & Maple - our Sugar Gliders).
Thank God for "hands-free" cell phones. Will be discussing the terrible flooding in Nebraska (and beyond) as well as the situation in Venezuela, Mozambique / Zimbabwe and even Zambia along the way.
I'm so THANKFUL for these devices that allow us to work most anywhere....even "On the Road".
Time to close up the cabin and start driving. Sure do appreciate your prayer, love and support!!!

OPENING A 'TREASURE'....
Up early, having a cup of coffee, opened my Bible to Proverbs 3*. Oh my, one of my all time favorite Proverbs.
So often, as I scan the world news and see the many directions that we could go to bring the Love of God and CLEAN WATER to a hurting & thirsty world....I get overwhelmed.
What path shall we take, where should we go, what should we do? When I read Proverbs 3, our Lord brings peace to my turbulent soul.
If I trust in the Lord with all my heart & lean not to my own understanding, He shall direct my path.
PRAISE GOD!! And there is so much more in this amazing Proverb. If you have a few minutes, may I encourage you to click on this link to read Proverbs 3 yourself.
Perhaps you're facing some tough decisions or simply need some direction from our Lord. Then, this Proverb is for you!!
BTW, from the time I began writing this blog this morning, until now, an amazing door just may be opening for us to get some desperately needed CLEAN WATERinto Venezuela.
Can't give any details at this time. PLEASE PRAY for us to have His direction!!
Here's a quote from a recent story on the water situation....
"But people try to find water wherever they can: from springs, leaky pipes, gutters, government-provided tankers and the little that flows through the Guiare River in Caracas.
"We fill up from a well near here but we don't know if its drinkable. But we're using it," said Erimar Vale, who lives in the capital.
Again, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support! I do hope you were able to take a few minutes and read Proverbs 3. It'll bless you!!

* I often read the Proverb that corresponds with the day of the month. Since there are 31 Proverbs, one for each day. It's a good way to "tap" into God's wisdom, something I so desperately need!

LITTLE DONKEY PROGRESS....
I spoke with Don George* yesterday on the status of the rebuild of the rear engine for the Little Donkey (AKA: Ti Burik).
So far, so good. The crankshaft looks good and Don is sending out components for inspection.
Oh, I've surely missed the Little Donkey but....soon, this wonderful tool will be back in the air.
PRAISE GOD!!
As I hear reports from around the world on the need for CLEAN WATER, my heart breaks.
I want to GO, but for now, we must focus our resources on getting that engine rebuilt and installed.
We're extremely THANKFUL for organizations who have "loaned" us aircraft during this time, i.e. Remote Area Medical (RAM). But it's time we get our bird back in the air!
The Little Donkey has remarkable capabilities. It can fly at high altitude for long distances, carry a good load and land on very short, unimproved airstrips.
It is an excellent "Scout" plane for rapid-deploymentfollowing disasters.
Thought I'd give you a good update on the progress of the Little Donkey.
THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

IMMERSED....
One of the things that I truly enjoy is "Listening" to God's Word.
Thanks to a wonderful App (YouVersion), I can simply listen to the Word all throughout the day...and night. It's wonderful!
FAITH COMES BY HEARING & HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD!!
My time here at the cabin has been extended a bit. Cindy and I are working on a project here that requires a bit more research.
So, it's just me and the cows and the Word of God.
Speaking of cows, some folks are working on a "Cow Toilet" to cut down on eeee-mooo-sions. That should clean things up a bit.
Here's more -
So, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!
