A LITTLE LOW ON CARITLIDGE & A COUPLE OF "BONE SPURS" TO BOOT....
Cindy had to bring our son, Peter, to the airport, in Knoxville yesterday.
BTW, Peter made it back to Florida safe and sound.
THANK YOU ALLEGIANT AIRLINES!
Well, my good friend and Brother-in-Christ, Dennis West, offered to take me to the to Doctor.
There, the X-Rays revealed that I was VERY low on cartilage in my knee (bone against bone) and a very painful couple of "BONE SPURS" shooting excruciating pain with every step...OUCH!
Apparently, that "paver slide" down the steps aggravated my knee and brought forth the reason for the pain.
After an injection of cortisone, I experienced instant relief. PRAISE GOD & THANK YOU for your PRAYERS!!
Now, with a little physical therapy, that old knee should do it's job of helping me to get around better.
Cindy and I prayed and asked our Lord for WISDOM....and a GOOD DOCTOR & HEALING. Our Lord graciously provided!!!
So, on this blustery, stormy morning, here in the mountains of East TN, we're just riding out this storm in our cozy "Retreat Cabin".
I'm enjoying a good cup of Community Coffee and an in-depth study toward getting my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) rating.
So, as I say every single day and truly mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your truly appreciated prayer, love and support!!

A PRAYER FOR WISDOM & HEALING!
I've endeavored to "rest" it, but the pain has gotten worse, not better.
I'll be going into see my doctor this morning and get an X-Ray to see what's going on.
Of course, Cindy and I are praying for complete HEALING & WISDOM.
Please join together with us in PRAYER & WISDOM! As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARI!!
Oh, the day was absolutely perfect for Ariana's 16th Birthday!
Before the party began, here is the lovely cake that Cindy baked with a quick scan of our setting.
Friends and family arrived to celebrate this wonderful day.
Peter flew in for the Party. So good seeing him!!
The girls had to spend some time with the horses, Ti Gato and Sparrow.
We kept the grill going and had lots of delicious food.
I was the designated "Grill Master"...AKA - JOE KABOB!
Ari was showered with lovely gifts. What a day!!
Just had to share this glorious day and celebration of an amazing young lady.
LOVE YOU ARI!!~!

AUTOMATION IN THE COCKPIT....
Now, that I've renewed my pursuit of obtaining my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) rating, I've gone back to BASICS.
One advantage to the old E6-B is that the batteries never go dead...
I love getting up early in the morning, putting on a pot of "Community Coffee" (from my hometown of Baton Rouge) and doing a full Weight & Balance the old fashioned way.
Of course, the thought of..."What if the GPS goes out", or "There's an electrical glitch that knocks out all of those "fancy avionics" on a dark and stormy night."
Yes, it's good to go back to basics and know how to figure out how to "aviate" & navigate if things go wrong.
And....beyond "KNOWING" how to do it, but to "TEACH" others how to do it, is a big challenge for me.
So, bright and early, on this crisp morning in the Mountains of East TN, I'm about to take another 100 question test and get ready for the next step in this journey to getting my CFI.
And...on DAY 3 of our COVID-19 Quarantine, Ariana and I are awaiting the results of our tests to see if we have it.
It's all in His Hands and we trust Him with the results.
Back to the books and....THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

As Ariana and I go into Day 2 of our Quarantine, we're feeling just fine and not demonstrating any symptoms.
THANK YOU for your PRAYERS!!
Ari is able to "stay up" with her class on-line and I'm taking the time to continue to study for my CFI.
As I've said so many times before, I LOVE AVIATION and truly enjoy the wonder and beauty of flight. God is so good to give us these gifts!!

QUARANTINE!
Yesterday evening Cindy arrived safe & sound from seeing her Mom, Helen, in Massachusetts.
And...Helen's doing well. PRAISE GOD!
Around 8:00pm yesterday evening, the phone rang. It was the Assistant Principal at Hancock County High School. One of Ariana's Teachers has tested POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.
On Friday, Dennis West and I demonstrated the Air Mobile Rescuer at the High School.
So, for the next 7 days, we'll be in QUARANTINE here at the "Retreat Cabin".
Will make good use of this time by studying for my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) test.
We're just taking it easy and PRAISING GOD for a good safe place to ride out the QUARANTINE!

CINDY'S....ON THE ROAD TO HOME - PRAISE REPORT!
She was released from the Hospital yesterday and transferred to a Rehab Facility.
BTW, Helen's illness was not Covid-19 related. The Medical team is confident to have found the cause and the treatment is going very well.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
We're so THANKFUL for our Lord's intervention and Helen's remarkable response to treatment.
PLEASE continue to PRAY for Helen and for Cindy to have a safe and pleasant journey home. It's a long 2 day drive.

A REVIEW FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL....& UPDATE ON CINDY'S MOM (A GOOD REPORT)!
First of all, have to give you a GOOD REPORT on Cindy's Mom. She is doing remarkably well and responding wonderfully to her treatment.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!
PLEASE continue to PRAY for her full recovery!!
Wanted to give a bit more info on our Hancock County High School presentation of the Air Mobile Rescuer.
This short video was taken just before the students arrived.
Of course, couldn't photo any students for Confidentiality Rules. But the cafeteria was a packed house and the students were GREAT!!
The most "telling moment" in the Presentation is when I actually drink the water from the dirty, filthy bucket... AFTER it goes through the Air Mobile Rescuer.
From that moment on, the students were fully engaged and saw with their own eyes just how effective the "Rescuer" is in cleaning very dirty water.
During the Presentation, I encouraged the Students to think (out of the box) how they can help make dirty water clean to save lives!
We look forward to returning to the High School and do some additional testing and discussion of ways to make this remarkable machine even better. Going to be fun!
The local Deputy for School Security got in on the presentation and drank a little Air Mobile CLEAN WATER with me.
Last week, our very own Ariana was named 9th Grade Student of the Month. We're very proud of her!!
She and I were both interviewed by the Local Sneedville Paper.
I hope I didn't embarrass Ari too much (LOL).
Well, it was quite a day and so THANKFUL to be able to encourage the students to find ways to help others in need, especially in bringing CLEAN WATER to the THIRSTY!!
So, on this Sunday morning, we're getting ready for church. We're very BLESSED by our Lord Jesus!!
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

CINDY ARRIVES....HER MOM'S GETTING BETTER!!
I'm very pleased to say that Cindy arrived in Massachusetts yesterday evening after 2 days of hard driving. She went straight to the Hospital.
She found her Mom, Helen, off of the ventilator and awake and lucid and doing remarkably well! PRAISE GOD!!
THANK YOU all for your PRAYERS!!
PLEASE continue to do so as Helen re-gains her strength.
Cindy will be there for a few days.
Again, we're PRAISING GOD for these ANSWERED PRAYERS!
Yesterday, Dennis West and I had the privilege demonstrate the Air Mobile Rescuer to the Biology & Chemistry classes at Hancock County High School.
The students were GREAT and gave us very good attention and asked a lot of questions.
Our PRAYER is that remarkable Scientists will come out of this school. Again, what a privilege to share this gift of CLEAN WATER with these students.
BTW, it was fun seeing Ariana holding her Student of the Month Award!
We are so proud of Ari!! GO ARI!!!
Well, it's time to take care of critters (ducks / horses / donkeys) this morning.

This morning, I'll be going to Hancock County High School to demonstrate the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier.
I recently met Ari's Science Teacher, Bob Keaton. He invited me to come in explain how we CLEAN dirty water using UV / Ozone / Ceramic & Carbon.
I love demonstrating our remarkable unit to young people with the hope of inspiring them to tackle tough problems like...."WATER -BORN DISEASES".....which kill MILLIONS of people around the globe!!

A GOLDEN SUNSET & A BIT MORE ABOUT OUR ARIANA....
Captured this glorious, GOLDEN sunset from our deck yesterday evening.
Never get used to the wonder that our Lord gives us....if we'll simply look UP & enjoy it.
Yesterday, I pointed out Ari's latest book, "OSCURO".
Did you know that she published her first book at 13 years old titled, "PARASOLS & PERIL"?
Then, published her second book at 14 years old, titled "MANSIONS & MAYHEM".
These first 2 books spin amazing adventures in Grace with EXTRAORDINARY endings!!
All we can say is..WOW!! GO ARI!!
All 3 Books are available on Amazon!!
OK, I just had to share this last bit on our sweet Ariana.
YES, we are so proud of her and her incredible accomplishments!!
THANK YOU JESUS!!
I've been doing intensive aeronautical studies in preparation for obtaining my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) Rating.
Yesterday, it was a 4 cup of coffee day and studying until midnight.
Truth is....I'm truly enjoying this study as I LOVE FLYING!!
Yes, there have been starts & stops on this pursuit but....this time, it's going to happen!!
Will keep the coffee flowing and finding even more ways to use the E-6B flight computer.
And, today, here in the mountains of East TN, it's cold and rainy and we may even get a tiny "smattering" of snow.

We just took it easy and enjoyed a "Restful" day at the "Retreat Cabin".
Our first guests at our "Quaint Country Cottage" loved the place.

THE "REST" OF THE STORY....
Sunday could not have come at a better time....
BTW, our first guests truly enjoyed the "Cottage".
This morning, we'll be going to our Church here in the Mountains of East TN.
Have sure missed the fellowship...due to Covid-19. We're all well and healthy and for that, we THANK GOD!!
Speaking of Covid-19, a dear friend and brother of mine, Wayne DeYoung pointed out the BILLIONS who have survived and been healed of the dreaded virus. PRAISE GOD!!
Here is what Wayne wrote regarding Covid-19
"We give him glory and praise for the billion covid healings he has accomplished too. I am one of those along with many in our family and a hundred cousins. Only two got seriously sick and one of the two has lots of medical problems. 100 plus elderly in our church have also had it. None went to ICU. Christians need to give Jesus their praise for almost 99% healing w/o hospital intervention or vaccines. We love you and thank the Lord for you."
Wayne, THANK YOU for sharing that wonderful insight into God's GRACE, GLORY AND POWER!!
We, of course, are sorry for those who did not survive and pray for the families who have been so impacted by COVID-19.
Well, it's time to get ready for Church. As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

AN OLD MOTORCYCLE INJURY....
Suddenly, an old raggedy Haitian dump truck crossed the imaginary centerline of the road and came straight at me.
I went over to the right to give him plenty of room, but he just kept coming straight at me. I ran out of pavement, and was on the rocky shoulder when.....
With no where to go, I started going up a berm and the little blue motorcycle began to flip.
In a desperate move, I threw my left leg out to stop the fall and in a split second and in a tiny fraction of an inch, the truck passed and I swerved to a stop. Safe...but injured.
My knee was screaming at me with pain, but that knee (and our Lord!) saved my life!!
Over the years, the knee goes out, and now, it is happening more and more frequently.
At times, I can't even walk. This morning, after a rough night, in prayer, I felt our Lord speak to me and say..."I WANT to heal your knees (both of them)."
I'm certainly glad to go to the doctor and have it X-rayed. However, if our Lord "WANTS" to heal me, I'm certainly up for that!!
Would you please join together with Cindy and I for a complete healing, with or without the doctor?
I know that I say this every day and I mean it with all of my heart..... THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

Love to explore the Proverb for the day. The wonderful Book is full of treasures!
Can't begin to tell you the awesome JOY we've experienced over the years by bringing CLEAN WATER to thirsty folks!
It is such a simple and wonderful thing to do, especially in time of need.
Over the years, we've found that by doing this for others, hearts open wide, to the Love of Jesus. We often gain amazing opportunities to share the Gospel and bring the LIVING WATER!
Of course, we're ever reminded of the Words of our Lord Jesus...."I was thirsty and you gave me to drink".

Here at the "Retreat Cabin", we're PREPARING FOR....
You know, it's just a matter of time before something happens that mandates an Air Mobile deployment.
This compact, "near-miraculous machine" can take very, very dirty water and make it very, very clean in a matter of seconds on a microscopic amount of electricity (easily solar powered).
With our Lord's help, we've been able to place nearly 1400 Air Mobile Rescuers in 47 countries.
Each machine is capable of giving up to 1000 people per day CLEAN WATER!
PRAISE GOD!!
Piece are coming together for Air Mobile to expand our operations.
We're planning to move production of the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier up here in Tennessee.
This vital move will likely be in the next month or so. We're EXCITED about this!!
At the same time, Cindy and I are preparing our garden for our Spring Planting. Our garden last year was a wonderful success.
We're also working hard to be "self-sufficient" here at the "Retreat Cabin".
We're able to get our own water from our good deep well. We can generate our own electricity from solar panels and generators and of course, grow our own food.
We ask our Lord for His Wisdom and Direction daily. Our goal is to be able to help folks in need, especially with CLEAN WATER....an absolute "Non-Negotiable" following most any disaster.
So, where will we go next? We don't know, but we do know Who does? That's why we're just getting READY for our next mission.

A NEW "WATER MULE".....
It was a pure joy meeting Steve Smith, Retired Scientist from the National Lab in Oak Ridge.
Our good friend, Mark Scarbrough arranged this wonderful meeting.
Steve and I spent hours and hours going over the operation of the remarkable Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifier.
Folks, Steve "got it", as far as the amazing water purifier, that can produce so much clean water on such a small amount of electricity in such a compact and efficient package.
This machine is truly a gift from God!!
Steve has offered to help us get the word out, and also arrange additional "testing" that will verify this machines "near miraculous" capabilities.
BTW, being an Air Mobile "Water Mule" is a high honor....in our humble opinion.
Jesus encourages us to....BRING CLEAN WATER to the THIRSTY! "I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU GAVE ME TO DRINK"!
I'm also reminded of my dear Pastor's encouraging words (from Pastor Roy Stockstill), many years ago...."Now son, don't forget, God knows how to deploy His troops"!

Things back then, were built to last. Again, I'm sure there's a good lesson here.
Wanted to share, got a phone call from the Executive Director of Operation Blessing yesterday.
He approved the order for an Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier. PRAISE GOD!!
You may recall, we recently met with the Chief Water Sanitation Engineer for Operation Blessing. We conducted several tests and the results were fantastic.
We're "GEARING UP" for the 2021 Hurricane Season and whatever other disasters might come.
We look forward to working with Operation Blessing on future missions.

AN OLD FRIDGE....
When Cindy and I bought the "Retreat Cabin" nearly 10 years ago, we inherited an old fridge in our outdoor kitchen.
Didn't pay much attention to it. It was just there, still plugged in and still cold.
Over the years, we'd throw some overflow fridge stuff in it when ours got full.
Then, we began to do some research and found out that it was a Westinghouse Model-9 built in 1947.
The QUALITY of construction was mind-blowing. Folks took a lot of pride in what they built back then.
Truly, this old Fridge was built to last!!!
So, we spoke to our good friend, Rich, who is the "Master of Much" and found out that he was over 14 paint shops and KNOWS how to properly prepare and paint old stuff.
So, here's how our day went yesterday. Rich began by sanding and preparing the old Fridge.
Then, he put on the Primer and continued to rub out the rough spots.
Then, he put on the first coat and the old Fridge began to come alive with it's elegant beauty.
Finally, he put on the 2nd Coat and all I can say is...WOW!
After letting it all dry, today we'll be putting the inside back together.
Soon, the old Fridge will be in our new cottage that we just finished building.
Oh well, just thought I'd share the story of the old Fridge with you! I'm sure there are a couple of good lessons here.
Time to go finish the old Fridge. As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

MONDAY AFTER....
So, after Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday, where do we go from here?
My soul is refreshed and renewed from spending precious time with my Savior this past week.
Just meditating on what the Resurrection means and the power it gives us, is GLORIOUS!
Today, I'm ready to face life with more strength and joy.
My hope and prayer is that my faith in God will increase and not "retreat" into mediocrity.
But it need not be a surrender, but may it be a challenge to rise higher and go deeper into my faith in Jesus when circumstances go awry.
May my life be more effective in the Service to my Lord!
So, on this Monday after....may my life gain more victory and joy in Jesus.
May HIS RESURRECTION be more powerful in my life!
May you be EXTREMELY BLESSED today!
And, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your prayer, love and support!!!

"WAIT FOR IT....SUNDAY'S COMING!!"
What a JOY it is to share HIS RESURRECTION with you!!
I so well recall the moment I surrendered my life to Him (nearly 50 years ago). Have never been the same since.
He brought me out of darkness and into His Glorious Light!
PRAISE YOU JESUS!!!
May you be BLESSED today, as we join together to CELEBRATE HIS RESURRECTION!
We're so appreciative to have you with us as we walk down this road of life together. We're so THANKFUL for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

PS - If you're reading this rambling blog and never accepted Jesus as your Lord & Savior, there is no better time than NOW to ask Him into your life. It will be the best decision you will ever make!

GOOD FRIDAY....
Friday comes before Sunday. Jesus made the way for us to the Father's Heart! He paid the price for us in full!!
THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Folks, when we deal with the sin issues in our life, we gain full and open access to Heaven.
We gain so much, that words fail me to describe just how good and glorious it is to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
May I urge you to take a few moments and ponder this glorious gift. No matter what you may be facing, the gift of Salvation conquers it all. Let Him in and let Him heal you.
Yes, it is Friday but Sunday is coming!!!
May you be extremely BLESSED TODAY!
And, as always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

THIS WEEK.....
What an AMAZING thought!
Jesus brought TRUE FORGIVENESS to the world.
The more I ponder this, the better it gets!! THANK YOU JESUS!!
Well, it looks like the rain has stopped....for a while here at the Retreat Cabin. No major flood damage, thank God!
All this rain has made our soil especially rich and good for our spring planting. Again, thank you Lord!
May I encourage you to take some time out this week and just think about what Jesus as done for us.
Believe me, it will increase your faith and open new channels of love, from God to you.
May you be BLESSED today and as I say every day, THANK YOU for your precious prayer love and support!!
