REACHING OUT....
Yesterday, I reached out to the Baptist Mid Missions (BMM) office in Ohio. I shared how the 16 Air Mobile Rescuers that are being sent to Cambodia, are opening the DOORS to PREACH the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.
I also sent a link to BMM of some local & international news casts telling about the work of Air Mobile.
AIR MOBILE IN THE NEWS - Here's the link that I sent. Be sure to click on the photos next the news cast to see the actual stories.
While here, at the "Retreat Cabin" between "Missions", we stand READY TO GO!
THANK YOU, as always, for your faithful prayer, love and support!

SLIP & SLIDE
Well, it's time to go over the mountain to our very own Dollar General (DG) and buy some supplies. It's been well below freezing (got down to 8 degrees last night) for the last few days.
We've also kept all of our faucets set to a very slow drip. We've changed out our plumbing to PEX which is not suppose to burst from freezing. So far, so good.
Now, here we are "Between Missions". We're getting ready for our next deployment...wherever that may be. We will GO!
Folks, I want you to know just how much I appreciate your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

It's just plain COLD up here...somewhere around 18 degrees. We're staying warm, thanks to our wonderful wood stove.
Just had to give you a view from our deck. Snowfall is just plain beautiful.
My prayer for this day, that our Lord has made, is..."Have your way with me Lord"!

HOME....AT LAST!
Yesterday, I flew from Providence RI to Washington DC with American Airlines. Had to shuffle around a bit due to a few delays to make it into Knoxville.
I drove up to our sweet Retreat Cabin around midnight. Literally, within minutes of my arrival, the snow began to fall.
I'm reminded of those around the world who are lacking CLEAN WATER!
Today, Cindy, Yahn and I will be on a tele-conference call with YELP. We are exploring ways to tap into the vast YELP network and find new and creative ways to get the message out that Air Mobile can provide CLEAN WATER to those in need.
Well, it's time to get ready for that call. We are asking our Lord to show us the best way to go. ASK & YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
THANK YOU, as always, for your precious prayer, love and support!!

DELTA AIRLINES CRJ900 CRASHES IN TORONTO...ALL SURVIVE!
MIRACULOUSLY...ALL SURVIVE / 19 INJURED. WE PRAY!!
Here's more on this CRASH - AIRCRAFT UPSIDE DOWN & BURNING...
After a successful "Mission" here in Massachusetts, I'll be catching an American Airlines (AA) flight back home to Knoxville via Washington DC.
I was able to spend some wonderful time with my good friends, Dennis & Barbara West. Dennis is making good progress in his PT.
I'm still amazed that all survived the Delta Airlines Crash! BTW, I will be boarding an AA CRJ900 in Providence RI on my first leg to DC then to Knoxville. We PRAY for a safe journey.
At home, Cindy has been dealing with a damaged roof from Winter Storm "Jett"....which also contributed to the Toronto Crash. Again, we PRAY for the injured & survivors.

SPENDING TIME WITH MY DEAR FRIEND....
My friend, Dennis West, is one of the most extraordinary people I've ever known.
Dennis has joined me on multiple "missions", sometimes, getting up in the middle of the night and making critical flights. Dennis has always been there when I needed him.
Dennis has many amazing accomplishments in his life, including being U.S. Arm Golden Knight (the most elite parachute team).
I've traveled with Dennis into some very dangerous and desperate regions around the globe. Dennis' skill and courage has always strengthened our "mission" and helped us to accomplish our goal of...bringing clean water to the thirsty and sharing the Love of Jesus.
Recently, Dennis stepped on some ice and went down hard. He cracked the ball in his hip and hit his head quite hard.
He is making good PT (Physical Therapy) progress. I would expect nothing less. Dennis is one tough "Hombre".
I spoke with Cindy last night and the bottom end of Winter Storm Jett damaged our roof with very high winds, and caused multiple leaks. We're calling on our friends to help get tarps up to stop the leaks and gather the roofing parts to properly repair the damage.
I'll be boarding an AA flight back to Knoxville via Washington DC tomorrow afternoon.
PLEASE PRAY for Dennis in his recovery and for Barbara as she carries the heavy load of caring for her beloved Dennis. Also, please PRAY for Cindy as she deals with the storm damage.
I know that I say this to you every single day & mean it with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

AFTER NUMEROUS FLIGHT DELAYS....I ARRIVED AT THE MILL CHURCH IN TIME...TO DELIVER A MESSAGE
Yesterday morning, I drove to Knoxville and caught a AA Flight to Philly and then to Providence RI.
There were a number of flight delays but....I managed to pull into The Mill Church parking lot at 6:42pm for a 7:00pm service.
After delivering my message, "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE JESUS KIND", I braved the heavy snow fall from Winter Storm "Jett" and slowly followed Pastor Eddy right to the home of Dennis and Barbara West.
Dennis recently slipped on ice and is in rehab. This was another reason to come to cold & icey & slippery & snowy Massachusetts.
I wanted to see my good friend, Dennis. Barbara and I will be going to the Rehab...if the road permits.
I must tell you, the road between Providence RI and Millbury, MA (45 miles), was just plain treacherous to this Louisiana Boy. I drove very slowly and my palms got very sweaty. But...with our Lord's help, I made it in time to speak to the Church. God is good....all the time!
So, it's time to try to get the Rehab and see my dear friend, Dennis.
As always, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

This morning, I'm up and getting ready to drive to Knoxville. There, I'll board a flight for Providence RI via Washington DC.
I was scheduled to speak at the Mill Church on Sunday morning, but...another wicked winter storm is heading to Massachusetts Sunday. So, Pastor Eddy is moving the Sunday Service to Saturday Evening service.
Here's more on "Jett" - WINTER STORM "JETT" ON THE MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST WITH SNOW & ICE
I'll be delivering a message called "A CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE JESUS KIND".
BTW, the Mill Church is a faithful supporter of Air Mobile.
PLEASE PRAY for a safe journey and that I deliver the Word that our Lord would have me to deliver. We love The Mill Church!

As of late, I've been pressing in closer and closer to Jesus. The wonderful thing is...as I press into Jesus, Jesus presses into me.
Now, I've been walking with Jesus for over 50 years and I must tell you...I've never been closer to Him.
I don't know where you stand with Jesus, but may I encourage you to PRESS INTO HIM! The truth is, the more you press into Him, the more He presses into you.
I pray you are BLESSED today! His LOVE for you is unlimited and no matter what you may be facing, HE is there with you and will never leave you, nor forsake you!!
I am BLESSED to have you walking through this life with me. THANK YOU again, for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

COLD & RAINY.....A POWERFUL REPORT ON THE AIR MOBILE RESCUER
Cindy and I certainly enjoyed the few days of warmth. Now, the cold and rainy has returned. Time to fire up the old wood stove and spread the warmth in our sweet "Retreat Cabin".
Our good friend, Jason, AKA "The Angry Prepper" did a full study and test of the Air Mobile Rescuer. Here is what he found...
THE "ANGRY PREPPER", JASON TESTS THE AIR MOBILE RESCUER
The "Rescuer" is an extraordinary Water Purifier. Of course, we knew that and have put them all over the world (1500+ in 53 Countries).
It's good to get Jason's comments about the "Rescuer".
Well, it's time to get to work and get those "Rescuers" READY FOR ACTION...when the call comes.

The recent 7.6 Earthquake in the Caribbean demonstrates how quickly things can happen. THANK GOD there was NO serious damage, injuries or deaths in the affected region.
This is all the more reason that we at Air Mobile are PREPARING for disasters which lie ahead. Also, there are on-going disasters happening every day due to war, poverty and corruption, etc. etc..
The simple truth is...people need CLEAN WATER! Now, in-between "Missions", we're building 10 Air Mobile Rescuers and having them ready for RAPID DEPLOYMENT.

"RESCUERS" SAVING LIVES & OPENING DOORS
We are so pleased to have delivered another 8 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers being deployed in Cambodia. That makes a total 16 Rescuers in Cambodia.
Yesterday, I was speaking with Pastor Todd Peoples of Twin City Baptist Church in Tazewell, TN. That great Church has funded all 16 of the Rescuers.
Pastor Todd went on to tell me how our Lord is using those "Rescuers" in Cambodia, to not only bring CLEAN WATER where desperately needed, but they are OPENING DOORS to PREACH THE GOSPEL and share the PRECIOUS LOVE OF OUR LORD JESUS to the THIRSTY!

In this shot, I was training Pastor Todd and Len on the simple operation of the Rescuer.
COWBOY PASTOR RIDES FOR THE CHILDREN
Brutal Winter Storms are passing just north of us here. They contain snow, ice and possible tornadoes.
We're battening down the hatches and getting ready for that which lies ahead.
Just a few minutes ago, we had a Tornado Warning. It just expired, but...we're keeping a close eye out and our basement open to run into if need be.
So...if you're "tormented" by certain things (as I was), I urge you to "cast that care(s) upon Jesus because He cares for you"!
So, it all goes back to Matthew 7:7...ASK & YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
If you do, and I suspect you might also have a thing or two on your "To Do List", here's a Scripture that I embrace to just PRESS ON and just DO IT.
It is found in Matthew 7:7 and the first part of the Scripture is "ASK & YOU SHALL RECEIVE..."
Well, it's time to go spread the mud for our driveway. As always, THANK YOU for your prayer, love and support.
Cindy and I are getting ready for Church and a pleasant day of rest here at the "Retreat Cabin".
Our hearts go out to Medical Flight that ended in tragedy in Philadelphia. I know something about that Lear 55 and it's flight crew.
These folks are still flying into Haiti and RESCUING people. Their flight crews are professional and well trained. PLEASE PRAY for all who have been impacted by this terrible tragedy.
I'm reminded of wonderful words from Solomon...TRUST IN THE LORD... Proverbs 3:5-6.
While scanning our lovely valley, our Donkey had a little something to say.
Yesterday evening, just before 9:00 PM a U.S. Military Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines CRJ collided over the Potomac.
You know, as Pilot-in-Command, and having made nearly 3000 international flights (doing Humanitarian Relief), I have cleared Customs and Immigration literally THOUSANDS of times.
May I again, encourage you to PRAY for our LEADERS!
Here's more on PFAS - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, and oil. They are also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.
Oh, Cindy and I are looking forward to 50+ degree temps today. So are all of our critters.
Looks like this coming week, the high temps will be in the mid to upper 40's. PRAISE GOD! Things will be able to thaw out a bit.
We're also glad to hear the President Trump will be visiting North Carolina this morning and then Southern California later today.
This will keep the funding flowing where most needed. We PRAY for all in the path of these latest wildfires.
As I sit in our "Retreat Cabin"....staying warm, I look ahead to our "Next Mission".
Here's more - LATEST OUTBREAK OF WILDFIRES
But for now, it's a matter of taking care of our critters and protecting our plumbing and just staying warm. Even our duck pond is gradually freezing.
Winter Storm Enzo is blowing through our neck of the woods, and the best thing we can do is stay hunkered down and stay warm.
Yesterday evening, we "slipped" out of our sweet "Retreat Cabin" and drove to Pigeon Forge where we met with Josh and Katie Linder and Josh's parents Stan and Margo Linder.
There is one more day before President Elect Trump will become PRESIDENT TRUMP! WE PRAY that all goes well.
Meanwhile, here at the "Retreat Cabin", the snow has begun to fall and the Temp is plummeting.
We PRAY that all goes well on Inauguration day!!
The temp has been rising just above freezing in the day...then there's a little melt and then a hard freeze at night and more ice. Pretty treacherous stuff.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN....
Yesterday, I boarded an Allegiant A-320 bound for Orlando. Had a quick hour & 10 minute flight.
There I was met by my good friend & NASA engineer, Alfred Menendez.
Alfred then drove me straight to the NASA Badging station at Kennedy Space Center where I picked up my NASA Badge, that is good for another year.

Cindy then picked me up and it was off to meet with my good friend, Stephen Applegate.
Then, it was off to Grill's in Rockledge to meet with some of my many kids.
I'm up early this morning to go catch an Allegiant flight to Florida. Upon landing, I will meet my good friend, Alfred Menendez, a prominent NASA Engineer.
I can't even get my Ford Escape up to our cabin thanks to solid layer of ice.
Here's a peak at what Cora is bringing us...
HERE COMES WINTER STORM CORA....
Here's a little video that I sent to Cindy on Sparrow.
The headlines are heart-breaking affecting millions!
More snow falling and critters are taken care of. One of our horses, Sparrow, is moving quite slow this morning.
Well, it's time to get Ariana back to Florida Tech. She and Cindy hit the road today for long ride back to Florida.
The good thing about our trusty old wood-stove is, it does not need electricity to operate.
Snow, Ice and Thunderstorms all wrapped up in Winter Storm Blair making it a SERIOUS THREAT!
We're keeping a close eye on this next Winter Storm coming our way.
I was pleased to hear that they will be bringing 2 "Rescuers" with the team to bring CLEAN WATER where desperately needed. PRAISE GOD!!

AND ANOTHER THING....
I just wanted to add a little bit to what I wrote yesterday (read on down to see what I wrote).
If you're curious to know the things that I dreaded doing, here they are. First, doing my taxes and next, doing complicated receipting.
Now, that Jesus has helped me so much with a good and positive attitude, I'm on top of my taxes and nearly caught up on receipting my donations.
I wish I would have brought these difficult things to Jesus before...but better late than never. It's a new day.
So...if you're "tormented" by certain things (as I was), I urge you to "cast that care(s) upon Jesus because He cares for you"!
Further more, ask Him to give you a LOVE for those things that you're dreading. It may take a little while, keep on casting. He will answer your prayer.
So, it all goes back to Matthew 7:7...ASK & YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
It's time to get on with the chores and I'll be working in my office...doing those things that I love!
I hope this little message helps you. And, as I say every single day, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!

Let me ask you a question. Do you have certain things that you need to do but...you just dread doing it and you keep putting it off for a long time?
If you do, and I suspect you might also have a thing or two on your "To Do List", here's a Scripture that I embrace to just PRESS ON and just DO IT.
Now, I have shared this Scripture with you before, when dealing with something that is lost. But today we'll look at it, to help us to do things that we need to do and just can't seem to "GIT UR DONE"!
Recently, I have been focusing ON... ASKING JESUS TO GIVE ME A LOVE FOR THAT THING(S) THAT I DREAD DOING!
I am so pleased to say that our Lord Jesus is answering my PRAYER and I'm just plowing through and getting those difficult things done!
If you have a problem list, like me, than ASK JESUS TO GIVE YOU A LOVE for that thing and JUST DO IT!

Truly enjoying this sweet warm spell here at our beloved "Retreat Cabin".
The peace and joy that our Lord has given us is simply overwhelming.
Somehow, I sense that this is the "Calm before the Storm". I realize that it is not a matter of IF, but it is a matter of WHEN the next storm or other disaster hits. We're getting ready!!
BTW, I mentioned the problem with PFAS yesterday (just scroll down for more details on PFAS).
Because our Air Mobile Rescuer utilizes Carbon, Ceramic, Ultra-Violet and Ozone, all of which renders PFAS harmless..it's one more reason to secure a "Rescuer" for your family or the next disaster.

4 DEGREES....BRRR
Awoke this morning to 4 Degrees. Yes, I'm eagerly awaiting Spring.
But for now, it's a matter of taking care of our critters and protecting our plumbing and just staying warm. Even our duck pond is gradually freezing.
So, for now, it's a good time to stay indoors and keeping the old wood-stove stoked with fire wood and burning beautifully.
THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!

INAUGURATION DAY IS HERE!!!
Cindy and I are so pleased and thankful and blessed to arrive at this day, the day that Donald Trump becomes the 47th President of the United States of America!
WHAT A COMEBACK!! PRAISE GOD!!
In this bitter cold snap, Cindy and I will just stay home, and stay warm and simply CELEBRATE this day.
These are dear friends who we met at Redeemer Presbyterian Church. We love these guys and went and had a lovely dinner at 5 OAKS FARM.
Then Cindy and I "slipped" back to our "Retreat Cabin". It was a tense drive home. We THANK our Lord Jesus for protecting us from an icy mishap.
So, on this very chilly day, again, we CELEBRATE Inauguration of Donald Trump.
THANK YOU, as always, for your precious prayer, love and support!!

HERE COMES WINTER STORM ENZO...
More Snow & Ice. Frankly, I'm glad that the Inauguration will be held inside. Perhaps, it is also better for Security!
Meanwhile, here at the "Retreat Cabin", the snow has begun to fall and the Temp is plummeting.
Here is a special PRAYER REQUEST. It is for our Pastor's son Noah, who will have his foot amputated on Monday following a terrible football accident. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR NOAH!

BITTER COLD COMING....
The Weather Forecast calls for very cold temps coming tomorrow & Monday...down to under 10 degrees.
The Inauguration has been moved inside the Capital Rotunda due to the extreme cold (near zero). But...could it be for increased SAFETY to protect President Trump?
According to Rasmussen, SAFETY is the main issue. We don't know, but we do know Who does!
Again, let us PRAY for PROTECTION for President Trump!
At any rate, HISTORY is unfolding before our very eyes.
Folks, this is all the more reason to PRAY!!! THANK YOU for joining together with us, in PRAYER, for powerful angels to surround President Trump!!

SLIP & SLIDE...
Cindy and I pulled up to our sweet "Retreat Cabin" last night. Good to be home but....I've about had enough snow...& ice for a while.
The temp has been rising just above freezing in the day...then there's a little melt and then a hard freeze at night and more ice. Pretty treacherous stuff.
Again, I'm so thankful for the pure simplicity and an abundance of firewood from fallen trees for our wonderful old woodstove on our little farm. GOD IS GOOD!!

Cindy and I hit the road again from Cocoa Beach headed to our TN "Retreat Cabin".
There are still a number of detours along the way (near I-40 by Asheville). The detours (caused by Hurricane Helene) will add a few hours to this long drive.
Also, as we get further north, the temperature is steadily dropping. By the time we get home, the temp will be well below freezing. We'll just fire up the old wood stove.
We found a room about half way, in Orangeburg, SC. Today, we'll keep pressing on to our home.
THANK YOU ALL for your sweet Birthday Well-wishes. Just glad to be alive and serving our Lord Jesus!
And...THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

Yesterday, I boarded an Allegiant A-320 bound for Orlando. Had a quick hour & 10 minute flight.
Alfred then drove me straight to the NASA Badging station at Kennedy Space Center where I picked up my NASA Badge, that is good for another year.

Was able to give Stephen some good training on the Air Mobile Rescuer. Stephan is doing Amazing things with the Rescuer!!!

SLICK ICE...AKA "BLACK ICE"....BEWARE
After Winter Storm "Cora" blew through our valley and dumped several inches of snow I've had the wonderful experience of slipping and sliding.
I can't even get my Ford Escape up to our cabin thanks to solid layer of ice.
I'll be happy when the temp rises a bit and melts the snow and ice and...we don't get another hard freeze.
At any rate, our critters have water (thanks to a tank heater) and plenty of hay.
Now Cindy and Ari are already in sunny Florida enjoying the warmth that Florida gives.
Tomorrow morning, if the flights are still on, I'll travel to Knoxville and catch an Allegiant flight to Florida. I need to personally pick up my renewed NASA Badge. There's more to that story...I'll tell more later.
Well, it's time to throw another log on the old wood stove and have another cup of coffee.
As I say every day, and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!

HERE'S WINTER STORM CORA....
The WX Forecasters nailed when and how Cora would come. Right on schedule Cora is blowing through our valley packing high winds, and snow and ice and sleet.
Here's a peak at what Cora is bringing us...
Earlier, before sunrise, I captured our 3 dogs and their sweet spot in front of the old trusty wood-stove.
LET THE COLD WINDS BLOW!
Meanwhile, across the U.S. to the West Coast, we have the California Wild-Fires. WE PRAY for all who have lost loved ones and lost literally everything and are still FIGHTING the WILD-FIRES.
And...still thousands in North Carolina are suffering from the cold and lack of funding. Again, WE PRAY!

BRRRR....& TIME TO WRITE!
Dealing with a hard freeze involves keeping our critters (ducks, horses & donkeys) in food and water.
Having Ariana with us for a few more days has been exceptionally inspiring regarding writing. While she has been with us, she's written another novel, her 6th.
Now, several years ago, I had begun writing Book 2, titled "Dances with Storms" or "Storm Dancer". Not sure which will be the final title.
I have 13 chapters written, but not edited. It's TIME for me to get on with this project. I believe that our Lord would have me to complete this as there are numerous MIRACLES that need to be shared for the GLORY OF GOD
So, on this very chilly morning, I'll throw another log on fire, have another cup of coffee and get on with the editing of "Storm Dancer!
THANK YOU, as always, for your faithful prayer, love and support.

PROVERBS 3:5-6
One of my all-time favorite Scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-6.
From time to time, I will read the Scripture found in Proverbs that correlates with the day of the month.
Proverbs has 31 Chapters, or one per day. So, today, being January 3rd, I went to Proverbs 3 and enjoyed this wonderful verse.
I, like you, want my Lord to guide my steps. Therein lies peace and joy and strength and wisdom.
May I encourage you to embrace Proverbs 3:5-6. You may want to commit it to memory.
So, on this lovely 3rd of January, I put my trust anew in my Lord and Savior and seek His direction for my life!
We PRAY that 2025 be the best year ever!!
THANK YOU, as always, for your faithful prayer, love and support!!
