JUST A MATTER OF HOURS....TIME MARCHES ON...
On this New Years Eve...we await 2024. There have been major developments around the Globe in 2023. From the War between Israel and Hamas, to strikes in the Red Sea and the U.S. being provoked repeatedly.
In China, WAR / INVASION threats of Taiwan are looming. Russia and Ukraine are battling it out & the Death toll is rising.
Literally MILLIONS of REFUGEES are on the move around the globe.
So...what should we do? We should heed the Words of our Lord Jesus who told us clearly that these things will happen...and they are happening, right before our eyes.
So, again, what should we do? Stay in the Word of God (particularly the Words of Jesus) and seek ways we can help those in need and share the Love of God in all we do.
If you haven't read these "Books" recently, I urge you to take a look again. Many Bibles put the Words of Jesus in RED, making it easier locate His WORDS.
There are many other references to the "End Times" throughout the Bible in the Old & New Testaments.
Here we are, together, standing on the Threshold of 2024. You have joined us in many missions around the world bringing CLEAN WATER and the LOVE OF JESUS to the thirsty and suffering.
Cindy and I want to THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support.
GOD BLESS YOU and may our Lord pour out His Blessings upon you in 2024!!

Christmas Eve is a special day. For many, it's last minute shopping. and a bit of advance cooking.
This Christmas Eve falls on Sunday. A good place to be is in Church to CELEBRATE JESUS!
For us, we'll be picking up our son, Peter, at Knoxville Airport this morning.

THE LITTLE DONKEY...IN THE BARN
I waited on Saint Simons Island for this terrible storm to pass.
I had several hours to explore this lovely Island. I found myself at Fort Frederica, so rich in history.
Then, by yesterday afternoon, the storm passed leaving me a clear corridor to Titusville.
I took advantage of this flight to bring in a bunch of Christmas gifts for my Kids and Grandkids who live in Brevard County.
Will be delivering them this morning and then...hitting the road for the 12 hour drive back to our "Retreat Cabin" and home.

AS FAR AS I COULD GO....
Had been tracking a "wicked storm" hitting Florida. Had a very tight window to get out Tennessee. Had an alternate airport set up in Georgia.
Bid farewell to my Cindy. Yahn drove me to the airport. We topped off the Little Donkey and I took off hoping I could slip into Florida.
Had 45-50 knots on my nose and could see that the weather was still quite bad at Titusville.
So, I landed in Saint Simons Island (KSSI) right on the edge of that terrible storm.
No need to try to fight that storm. Saint Simons Island was as far as I could safely get.
After looking at the WX between Saint Simons Island and Titusville after I landed...I certainly made the right decision.
The FBO (Fixed Base Operation) at KSSI could not have been any nicer.
They loaned me a car and arranged a hotel room.
Found a great restaurant (The Crab Trap) and enjoyed a very pleasant meal. Had a lovely and restful nights sleep.

A GATHERING OF EAGLES...
Yesterday, Yahn and I met at Lee County Airport to fuel and test fly the Little Donkey. The Ford Escape makes a good "tow car".
After fueling, we awaited the arrival of Adrian in his Cessna 414.
My good friend Adrian & Company landed on schedule.
Upon his arrival, I presented him with an Air Mobile Cap, making him an Official "Air Mobile Water Mule".
We met for several hours and even took the "Little Donkey" around the patch. It was Adrian's first time ever flying a Cessna 337 Skymaster.
After our good meeting, Adrian and company took off for Knoxville.
I am ever reminded of those wise words many years ago, from my first Pastor Roy Stockstill..."Remember son, God knows how to deploy His Troops!"
Over the years, I have seen our Lord bring in the right people at the right time again and again and again.

COMFORT &...A BIT OF GUILT
Sitting here in our sweet cabin, with warmth from the old wood stove and a good cup of coffee, I rejoice in the goodness of God!
For now, I'm staying close to Home and pressing in closer to God.
Yet, I know that all around the world, there is great suffering. Wars in Ukraine and Wars between Israel & Hamas and millions of refugees seeking asylum around the world.
I suppose I'll just have to deal with it and gain my own healing and strength while staying close to home and yes, enjoying every minute of it.
Oh, I know that our Lord will guide and lead me each step of the way, and the "Next Mission" will come soon enough.
So, for now, I'll simply enjoy this comfort and peace and press in closer to our Lord Jesus.

Looks like I'll need to get surgery on my left knee.
You may recall, both knees were injured in a motorcycle accident in Haiti years ago.
So THANKFUL that my right, full-replacement, knee is functioning WONDERFULLY!
Now Folks, we are PRAYING for God's healing the left knee. If this comes in the form of a Miraculous touch from God or from a skilled Surgeon's hand (thank you, Dr. Christopher) than, so be it!
Either way, I PRAISE GOD!!
One side of me wants to go do "The Next Mission" sooner than later.
I may even have to go back to the little Blue Scooter in certain circumstances.

IT'S COLD...NO SNOW
Went down to 19 degrees this morning. Clear skies...no snow.
Having spent many years in the Caribbean and then in Florida, again no snow.
Now, Cindy, on the other hand grew up in Massachusetts and is well familiar with snow and bitter winters.
Now, I've travelled to some very cold regions over the years and have had my share of cold and snow. Too much snow is not what I want.
Just a little snow and a warm wood stove will suffice.
That's my thinking about cold and snow this plain chilly morning...for what it's worth.

One of our absolute enjoyable "Chores" is with our 19 ducks. They are just a blast watching them.
So, here are a few clips of letting them out of their "Coop Hoop" and heading for their morning grain..
They love their grain supplement which helps them to give fresh eggs every day. Not only for our consumption, but for our friends also.
Next, it's the search for eggs. We've been getting 6-7 eggs per day...but what will we find today?
These are very happy ducks and they have plenty of room to "Free Range". BTW they always show up for their peaceful and cozy place to lay every evening.

We awoke to a very chilly 14 degrees. Had that first cup of coffee and then...a BLACK OUT.
So glad for the trusty old woodstove. It doesn't need a "User Name" or a "Password" or electricity to work.
Just throw a little kindling, a split log and a match and watch it work.

Can cook a meal and make a chilly cabin very warm and cozy.
But, I needed a signal to finish my daily blog. Was about to head to town to find one when our Ferrier showed up.
We're blessed with a good one. His name is Moses and is the best ferrier we've ever had. Very reliable, and does an excellent job.
So, before heading to town to finish the blog, had to help Moses "capture" our horses and donkeys.
Once the hoof trimming was done, I raced to town to finish my daily, rambling blog!

REJOICING IN HOSTAGES RELEASED...NO AMERICANS YET...WE PRAY!
The tragic attack goes on, as the world waits for more Hostages to be released.
Here's more: THERE ARE NO AMERICANS IN FIRST GROUP OF HOSTAGES FREED BY HAMAS
Meanwhile, here at our Retreat Cabin, life goes on as we do the chores and other projects.
We, at Air Mobile await our "Next Mission". It will come soon enough.
Folks, long before the brutal, savage attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli citizens, I have longed to go to Israel.
Even now, it would be a great honor to GO! We're simply awaiting the "clearance" to GO!
So, as I say every single day, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

60 YEARS AGO TODAY....I REMEMBER IT WELL
I was 12 years old, in the 8th Grade at our "Lady of Mercy" Catholic School when the announcement came over the loud speaker.
The whole class cried and prayed. A bit later, the news came that President John F. Kennedy was DEAD. My heart broke that day.
Many of the actual "Witnesses" at the scene have likewise passed away as is the Memory. May we never forget.
Here's more: 60 YEARS ON DWINDLING WITNESSES TO JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASINATION KEEP THE STORY ALIVE
I've noticed that fewer and fewer members of the media even cover this tragic story.
To the "Old-Timers" who ramble down this "Road of Life" with me...where were you on that fateful day?
So, as our nation prepares for THANKSGIVING, may we remember President John F. Kennedy.
Meanwhile, Cindy, Ari and I are preparing for THANKSGIVING. We have so much for which to be THANKFUL!
As I say every day, and truly mean with all of our heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!

ARIANA GRACE....AN AWESOME STORY!
When Cindy and I agreed to take care of a 2 year-old Haitian girl that needed a life-saving operation, little did we know what an impact it would have on us.
Getting from this little girl hanging onto life by a thread to get where she is now, has been an EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY!
Ari is an excellent student at Hancock County High School. She is an accomplished author, having already published 3 books and about to add a 4th book.
She is sweet and wise beyond her years. She loves God and serves Him in so many ways. When Cindy and I both had a bad bout of COVID, Ari took excellent care of us.
Again, when Cindy and I both had operations, again, Ari took excellent care of us.
Yes, we have gotten the best end of this deal. We are so proud of our precious Ariana!
So, if you'd like to help us send Ari off on this epic, 6 month Mission come and join us this Friday.
Here is more information:

SEEKING GOD'S WISDOM
If you need God's Wisdom (and we all do), then take a few moments and read Proverbs 8. It will surely BLESS YOU!! Here it is:
PROVERBS 8 KJV
1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
12I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
27When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
THANK YOU, as always, for your precious prayer, love and support.
I sure hope you enjoyed Proverbs 8 today!!

PROVERBS 3....ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PROVERBS
(31 PROVERBS - 1 for each day of the month)
Here it is in good old KJV- take just a few minutes and read this wonderful Proverb. It will surely bless you!
3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Adrian is a wonderful resource for finding specialty aircraft when needed. He's also a legendary pilot. I THANK GOD for arranging for our paths to cross.
I'm ever reminded of my first Pastor, Roy Stockstill who gave me these very wise words, many years ago.
I was facing a big challenge and needed help. Brother Roy said this to me and I'll never forget it..."Son, remember, God knows how to deploy His troops!"
Well, on this chilly day, I'll honor the Lord and not lean unto my own understanding, in all my ways acknowledge HIM, & HE shall direct my path.
And...THANK YOU for meandering down this road of life with me. THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

I love the drive from Tennessee to Florida, especially in the Fall.
This spot along the way simply captures the beauty.
I drove for about 8 hours and called it a day somewhere in South Carolina. Found a comfortable bed and settled in for the evening.
Turned on the News and was met with another tragic SHOOTING in Maine.

A TIME TO REFLECT...."IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT"!
Was up early this morning and remembered a flight that I made in my Cessna 206 (it was a long time ago).
I was working around a pretty wicked cold front and was careful to put some distance between myself and that line of bad WX.
Even stopped in a Flight Service Station (FSS) and verified that my route was clear and I could proceed home.
I had recently obtained my Instrument Rating and even had color radar in the C-206.
I poured one more cup of coffee in the FSS, took a final look at where that cold front was and took off for Baton Rouge.
As I climbed to my cruising altitude my color radar was full of big red blotches (BAD WX).
That cold front was still hanging around but...with my radar, I could avoid the worst of it.
I then saw a beautiful path between the bright red build-ups.
Then....it happened. The air vents blew out and a huge gush of water hit me right in the face. Immediately, the cockpit began to fill up with water. Yet, my radar said....ALL CLEAR.
Then, my next worst nightmare happened...my engine quit!
I was in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains and losing altitude. It is amazing how having 300 horsepower pulling you through the air... and it suddenly stops. Things got very quiet and I could hear and feel my heart beating.
I CRIED OUT TO JESUS!!
I quickly realized that I could die right here. I had been speaking with Raleigh-Durham Departure.
I quickly called out to Approach, and in a slow drawl, the Controller said..."Stand-By 1003 Victor...Delta 411, turn to a heading of 305....I broke in and spoke over him and shouted..."Raleigh-Durham, 1003 Victor, I just lost power and loosing Altitude.
That Controller went into "Hyper Drive" and said "1003 Victor, Squawk- Ident". With water still splashing me in the face I found the button on my transponder and pushed it.
Immediately, the good Controller called a nearby Piper Comanche and vectored him close to me.
I instinctively kept looking down when I saw...DIRECTLY beneath me, a ROTATING BEACON.
The Controller told me it was short (3000 feet) and had a 4 degree slope.
I set up a close downwind and knew this was going to be a very difficult landing. I was too hot (too fast) and too high.
Again, I CRIED OUT TO JESUS!
SUDDENTLY, my 300 HP engine came to back to life for about 5 seconds and died again.
But, that burst of power let me re-arrange my approach to a safer speed and better altitude.
As I turned final, there was one more 5 second burst of power assuring a good landing.
I was DOWN and relayed to the Comanche to advise Raleigh-Durham departure that I was safe.
What happened? Why did my radar tell me the path was clear?
Years later, I was sitting in a Radar Training when our teacher Archie Trammel, one of the worlds leading Radar expert explained to me what happened.
After I gave him a detailed report on what happened...he thought a minute and told me..."first of all, you're very fortunate to be alive."
Next, he explained that I ran into a solid wall of water and the radar did not see the water droplets, thus, it thought the path was clear.
Oh well, after my second cup of coffee this morning, and pondered that Dark & Stormy night and thought I'd share this story with you.
As I called out Jesus, He gave me the exact burst of power I needed to land safely.
No matter what you may be facing, I leave this with you...
As always, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

I find myself asking our Lord to show me what is truly happening and how can I help?
So, today I PRAY and ask our Lord to send me exactly where He wants me to be.
It is times like this that the "Retreat Cabin" is such a blessing. It is a wonderful, peaceful place to seek the Lord!

WHERE IS TRUTH?
Again & again, TRUTH becomes a major issue in this terrible WAR!
Yesterday, a rocket fell on a Gaza Hospital parking lot killing hundreds (some have said 500+).
IMMEDIATELY, literally within minutes, Hamas accused Israel of this terrible attack.
The TRUTH came out, that the rocket launched from GAZA and was an errant rocket launch from Islamic Jihad.
Take a look at this detailed REPORT of the origin of the rocket that mis-fired.
Another example of the HAMAS LIES!
Again, we pray that TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!
THANK YOU for joining together with us in PRAYER!!

DAY 10...OF THE WAR!
I go back 10 days ago and recall waking up to the HAMAS ATTACK ON ISRAEL.
My heart broke again and again as I saw the images of the BRUTALITY & HORROR as innocent children and families & elderly were MURDERED & TORTURED & RAPED & KIDNAPPED!!
So now, 10 days later, I hear story after story and the denial of the facts. Even HAMAS BOASTS of their HORRIBLE ACTIONS & EVEN SHOT VIDEO TO PROVE IT!
I am not surprised that the TRUTH is being stamped out with BRAZEN LIES!
The bottom line is....ISRAEL IS FIGHTING FOR IT'S LIFE!
The Bible tells us to PRAY FOR ISRAEL.
So, today, the Israeli Military is on the brink of entering into Gaza and wiping out Hamas.
Folks, you have seen this terrible WAR unfold before our very eyes.
THANK YOU, as always, for your precious and faithful prayer, love and support!!

Was up early...around 4:00 AM and listened to the Book of Revelation.
Then, as I've done every day since the War broke out (Day 9) between Israel and Hamas, I scan the news channels and look for Prophesies that are being fulfilled.
Things are happening very rapidly and many innocent victims are in the path of this brutal War.
Folks, these are indeed PERILOUS TIMES!
I come back to...what is the best thing I can do today?

Will the War spread? A notice has been given today for a "Day of Jihad" worldwide.
So, what can we do? WE CAN PRAY!
There are so many INNOCENT VICTIMS in this brutal WAR.
Again, I go back to the BIBLE! So many prophecies speak of this WAR!
My biggest concern and goal is to be where my Lord wants me to be when He wants me there.
For now, I'll remain at the "Retreat Cabin" and PRAY and be listening for His voice and direction.

So, what are we to do? I am seeking our Lord's precise direction to go WHERE He wants me to go, WHEN He wants me there!
In the meantime, we PRAY for all who are in the path of this deadly war.
Again, we say...EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS!!

THANKFUL FOR A COMFORTABLE BED....
I hit the road for the 12+ hour drive to the Sweet Retreat Cabin and my Cindy.
After about 8 hours, I began to "bob & weave" a bit and decided to call it a day. Found a lovely room in Hendersonville, NC.
I'm so THANKFUL for the fact I can pull off the highway and find a clean, reasonable, room so easily.
When I reflect on the places Air Mobile works...following fires, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, war and such, it's not always so easy to find a place to lay your weary head.
Well, have a couple of hours left to drive. So glad I pulled off and rested. Feel refreshed and so ready to be home....for a while!

We dodged thunderstorms the whole way.
We put the Little Donkey away in the hangar, awaiting the "Next Mission".
Now, I have a 12+ hour drive ahead of me. I can hardly wait to get back to my Cindy and have a bit of time of good rest at our sweet "Retreat Cabin".
These last few months have been intense. Went to Maui, Hawaii following the terrible fires. There, we delivered CLEAN WATER in the Name of Jesus.
Then to Morocco following deadly earthquakes. We went into the High Atlas Mountains and delivered CLEAN WATER in the Name of Jesus.
Followed by a whirlwind flight to Haiti delivering critical medical supplies where Haiti is cut-off and isolated.
Now, it's time for a bit of rest and recharging.
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!
