WITH A DONUT & A CUP OF COFFEE...

With a donut & a cup of coffee, the day began at Garmin HQ in the quest of knowledge (treasures) on how to more fully utilize the Avionics in the Little Donkey.  I was not disappointed!!

As the day went on, Paul, our Expert Instructor showed us short-cuts and ways to make changes that will make our future flights safer and more "pleasant".  I LOVE IT!!

And...today, I get to do the same thing.  I always knew that I was only "scratching the surface" of all that these remarkable instruments could do. 

So glad to have taken the time "dig for more gold"!

So, it's time to head back over to Garmin HQ for some more training.  Yes, I love my job and I'm extremely THANKFUL to have you on-board with me in this great adventure.

God bless you and THANK YOU again for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

A BUMPY RIDE & A TREASURE HUNT....

Was up early yesterday and boarded a Spirit Airlines flight to Kansas City.  About half way the turbulence began.  

Our pilot did a good job of seeking smooth air.  We arrived right on time and intact.  Bravo!

This morning I'll be beginning 2 days of intense training on our Garmin G-500 and 750 at Garmin Headquarters.

Oh, I know the basic navigation capabilities of these instruments, as we've flown the Little Donkey all over this Hemisphere following disasters.

But....just like the I-Phone, most folks know how to make a call and download an App or two, but few know just how much a "Smart Phone" can do.

It's the same with these wonderful Avionics.  So, today, may the TREASURE BOX be opened more fully.

And....THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!!

"GOING TO KANSAS CITY....."

Catching a flight to Kansas City early this morning.  For the next few days, will be in intense training on Garmin Avionics.

As a pilot, I must say, today's navigation / communication equipment is absolutely spectacular!

For example, when I first began flying in the Caribbean (40 years ago), the primary navigation system was ADF (Automatic Direction Finder).  

There was no GPS.  It was pretty "easy" to get lost and simply run out of fuel.  

Over the years, a number of aircraft & ships have been lost in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE!

And yes....I could tell you a story or two, but not today.

Now, this new generation of equipment is so capable, and there are so many features, it just takes good old-fashioned training to know how to more fully open the "treasure box" of information.  

That's why I'm going to Garmin Headquarters to learn more about these wonderful instruments. 

Time to head to the airport.  I'm really looking forward to this training.

BTW, Garmin has been very gracious to Air Mobile and donated invaluable avionics.  THANK YOU GARMIN!!!!

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

JOE & ROGER & A 500% INCREASE!!

Several years ago, my good friend and legendary NBC Icon, Roger Miller and I traveled to Haiti.  Roger was 80 years old for this epic journey, he's now 86.  

He made an amazing video on Air Mobile Ministries and later won a prestigious award for this bit of handy work.  

Well, yesterday, Roger wasn't feeling well and went to the ER.  

I had the privilege to check on him and give him a ride home.  Sure do love my great friend Roger.  BTW, he's doing better.

Please remember Roger in your prayer for a full recovery.  THANK YOU!

Then, another great friend, Larry Junker of NASA fame met me at the airport where I was able to show our latest development with the Air Mobile Rescuer.  BTW, Larry is also 86 years old.

We now have a means of increasing our output by 500%.  We're "tweaking" the system and soon, it will be ready for production.

Here's a short clip where I'm explaining the basic operation of the the newest "Air Mobile 500"!

Today, I'll be with Paul, our wonderful mechanic.  We'll be going over the next inspection for the Little Donkey.  We're gearing up for the "next mission".

 Tomorrow, I'll be heading to Olathe, Kansas to the Garmin Factory.  Will be engaged in some intense training on the Garmin G-500 / Garmin 750.  

Though I use this equipment extensively on our flights, I'll be digging deeper into these incredible instruments and learning how to utilize them more fully.  Looking forward to that!!

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

TODAY...THE U.S. EMBASSY OPENS IN JERUSALEM!!  PLEASE PRAY!!!

This is a truly momentous and historic day for Israel.  However, it is coming at a great price of violence.  

Here's more on this "unfolding event" - CLASHES ERUPT ALONG THE GAZA / ISRAEL BORDER AHEAD OF U.S. EMBASSY INAUGURATION

Here's another story depicting the unfolding events....DEADLY GAZA PROTESTS CLOUD U.S. EMBASSY OPENING IN JERUSALEM

Meanwhile, at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, the Ceremonies are proceeding on schedule.

This move, establishing Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, has many BIBLICAL implications.




I believe that Jesus is Coming Back SOON!  These events fulfill prophesies all throughout the Bible.


We're simply PRAYING for our Lord's Will To Be Done!!!  

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

GOD BLESS OUR MOTHERS!!!

Here in America, we celebrate Mother's Day today.  PRAISE GOD for our Mom's!

My mother, has gone on to be with Jesus.  Oh, I miss my wise and sweet Cajun Momma who was born in Denham Springs, Louisiana.

Though she didn't complete the 10th grade, her wisdom and love far out-shined the most learned.  I miss you, Momma.

However, our Lord, in His infinite grace and love brought Cindy into my life.

Cindy is an awesome Mother, Wife and Proverbs 31 "Lady of God"!  I am blessed!! 

CINDY, I LOVE YOU!!!

So, today, honor and bless your Mother!  They are indeed an amazing Gift from God!!

THE "QUEST"

We are on a "Quest" to bring CLEAN WATER to a thirsty world.

Our Lord has graciously given us a remarkable machine (Air Mobile Rescuer) to take very dirty & contaminated water and make it very clean.



With your help, we've been able to travel to the "hot spots" of the world following terrible disasters and bring CLEAN WATER to the thirsty.  PRAISE GOD!!

To date, we've been able to place over 1200 Rescuers in 47 countries.

While in Ecuador, following a massive earthquake,  CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) helped us to make a TRAINING VIDEO for the Air Mobile Rescuer.

If you'd like to know more about this amazing machine, just take a peek at the video to learn how to set-up / operate / maintain and trouble-shoot the Rescuer.

Here's the video - AIR MOBILE RESCUER TRAINING VIDEO

BTW, we're extremely THANKFUL to CBN for helping us to make this excellent training video.

Over the years, I've written about the Rescuer countless times.  If you've ever been curious to see just how this "miracle machine" works, be sure to take a look at the video.

You'll see just how simple the unit is to operate and what an awesome "game-changer" it is, particularly after catastrophic disasters.

We are continually improving the Rescuer based upon actual "Field Experience". 

Our QUEST goes on to make the best portable water purification system on the planet!!  With our Lord's help, we're doing just that!!

I am so glad that you have joined us on this QUEST!  THANK YOU, again for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

A NOBLE MISSION....

This morning, while reading Provers 11, I came across verse 25.

I realized again that you and I are on a very noble mission...that of bringing CLEAN WATER to the thirsty.

Our Lord has truly blessed us with a remarkable machine that takes very dirty water and makes it very clean.  This is an awesome gift to the thirsty!

We go about our day, seeking ways to bring more clean water to the thirsty, and I am so glad that you are with us on this journey.

I am ever reminded of the Words of our Lord Jesus...."I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink..."

Together, we have been able to place 1200+ Air Mobile Rescuers in 47 countries and....we've only just begun!!!

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

In the early hours, this morning, 3 American Hostages set foot on U.S. soil.  PRAISE GOD!!

Here's more on this historic event - TRUMP GIVES FREED AMERICANS "FLAG WAVING" EARLY HOURS WELCOME

Meanwhile, WAR DRUMS are beating between Israel and Iran.  Missiles  are flying and this could easily escalate into full scale war.

We're certainly keeping a very close eye on this extremely "Volatile" situation.  Above all...WE PRAY!!

Yesterday, I spoke with a team doing wonderful work on the Island of La Gonave, Haiti.  We hope to be able to help them bring CLEAN WATER!

We're so THANKFUL to be able to help others bring clean water where desperately needed.  Our Lord is so good!!!

So, we continue on with preparing for the "next mission".  God bless and THANKS again for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

THE EARLY SPACE DAYS...A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

I had the distinct privilege to spend the entire day with my dear friend, Larry Junker.

Many years ago, our Lord brought Larry into my life at time that I needed clear direction.  Larry is one of the wisest men I know.

Oh, we had a blast yesterday during our drive down to South Florida. 

Larry was hired by NASA in 1963 when the Space Race was heating up.

He worked on the Apollo Program that sent men to the Moon.  Having this time with Larry allowed us to walk down "Memory Lane".  This History is fascinating and I got slices of it,  first-hand.

In addition to the Apollo Program, Larry was instrumental on the Shuttle Program and specifically the recovery of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB).

Again, it was such a joy spending this precious time with my dear friend.  Larry was also able to see his sister, Beverly.  

Bev is the one responsible for Larry getting on with NASA, but that is another story.

Larry will be the first one to tell you that, it is all about Jesus and His Amazing Grace. 

Folks, we have so much to learn from one another.  Often, we only need to take the time to do it.  Our 400+ mile journey together yesterday afforded the perfect opportunity to do so.  

Meanwhile, we're working on preparing for the "Next Mission".  Not sure where it will be, but our Lord certainly does.  That is why, we're holding tightly to His hand.  

And...THANK YOU for standing together with us with your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

TIME WITH A "NASA LEGEND"

Today, I'll be driving down to South Florida with a very dear friend of mine, Larry Junker.  Larry has been like a father to me for many, many years.  

Larry is an endless resource of wise and Godly counsel.  I'm glad to be spending a little time with my dear Brother today. 

BTW, Larry was a top Engineer at NASA for years.  Among his many accomplishments, he was the Chief Structural Project Engineer on the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)...when he was 34 years old!  Larry is a great engineer and friend!!

Larry is now in his 80's and still Scuba Dives, Snowboards, Water Skies and more.  Larry is my hero and I'm glad to be spending some precious time with him today.

Above all, and most importantly, Larry Junker loves Jesus with all of his heart!

You know, Folks, I've said this many times, but it certainly bears repeating..."Where would I be without my dear friends who have helped me along this journey of life?"  I'm extremely THANKFUL to have Larry Junker as my friend!

And....I'm THANKFUL to have you along with me on this meandering daily blog.  So appreciate your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

 A GENUINE CAJUN CRAWFISH BOIL IN...ORLANDO (LONGWOOD)

Depend upon my dear friend, Joe Polozola to pull off this feat..and with style.

Joe and I go back to 10th Grade Geometry at Baton Rouge High School (1966).  And...Joe later introduced me to Jesus as my Lord and Savior.  THANK YOU JOE!

Well, Joe is a genuine, certified Cajun and he's built a Cajun Village in a swamp in his backyard and from time to time, he throws a "Cajun Crawfish Boil".  Such was the case yesterday.

Now, peeling a crawfish is a bit of art and Joe is quick to teach you the finer points of extracting the delicious little bit of goodness. 

Steadily, the crowd grew and even though many of the party participants were not from Louisiana, they surely got a taste of a "Genuine Louisiana Crawfish Boil".

Joe had almost 200 pounds of the delicious "ditch bugs" from Louisiana.  As the day moved on, the table was continually replenished with hot, delicious crawfish.  That too is an art, spreading out the feast. 

At the end of the day, I left "full" of crawfish and some pleasant memories of my Cajun roots.  THANK YOU JOE for sharing this with us!

And THANK YOU, for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

CAJUN ROOTS 

Many years ago, Joe Polozola introduced me to Jesus.  I'm eternally grateful!

From time to time, we get together and enjoy pizza and have great fellowship.  

 But....both Joe and I fare from Baton Rouge, LA.  We have strong Cajun Roots!  

Even though Joe moved to Orlando a number of years ago, he still remembers his roots and has, from time to time, a genuine CAJUN CRAWFISH BOIL.

I'm heading there today.  Mmmmm, love crawfish!

Meanwhile, back at home, Ariana has had an amazing 13th Birthday party with her friends.

It was so much fun just listening to the girls laugh and joke and sing and have a blast.

Cindy made her signature "Checkered Cake" (chocolate & stawberry).

And golf cart rides to the pool and just fun evening of singing and celebrating.  We love you, Ari!!!

In the midst of these parties, we're monitoring the Massive Volcanic Eruption and 6.9 Earthquake in Hawaii.  

This story is developing as I type. We watch and pray and ask our Lord for guidance!!  Here's more - 6.9 MAGNITUDE QUAKE / ERUPTIONS PROMPT "STATE OF EMERGENCY" ON BIG ISLAND

So, on this beautiful day in Florida, it's time to head over to Joe's for the Cajun Party.  THANK YOU, for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

THE DAY "AFTER" THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER....PRAY!!!

Yesterday was the National Day of Prayer here in America.  It is GOOD to PRAY!  

As a matter of fact, the Apostle Paul tells us to...PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!

Had a wonderful time at the Space Coast Prayer Breakfast  yesterday.  It was very encouraging to hear so many of our Leaders PRAY and openly express their faith in God!

It was good to see my friend, Congressman Bill Posey.  He has been an excellent representative of Central Florida in Washington.

God Bless You, Congressman Posey and keep up the good work!

In reading Proverbs 4 this morning, I'm moved by our Lord's desire to give us His Wisdom.  Folks, we need God's Wisdom every day.

Every single day, we all face decisions.  Some small, some large.  That is the time to call upon the Lord to lead us and guide us.  I know that I CERTAINLY need His wisdom every day!!  

So, I'm writing this today to remind me... to call upon Him.  Yes, we do need to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!

May we carry on the National Day of Prayer to the DAILY DAY OF PRAYER!  I know that I need it!!

THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

TRUST IN THE LORD.....

Opened up my Bible to Proverbs 3 this morning. I LOVE this Proverb!

As  some of you who have wandered down this "Rambling Blog Road" with me over the years know, I like to select the "Proverb of the Day" for study.   (31 Proverbs, one for each day of the month).

Solomon truly was given the gift of WISDOM and shares that wisdom with us in the Book of Proverbs.

Here, I'd like to share Proverbs 3 with you in the English Standard Version (ESV).  Hope you enjoy it.  May it bring His guidance, peace, strength and joy to your soul today. PROVERBS 3 {ESV)

Yesterday, we celebrated Ariana's 13th Birthday.  Cindy and I are  so THANKFUL that our Lord brought this precious one into our lives!  WE LOVE YOU, ARI!

This morning, up early to go to the Annual Space Coast Prayer Breakfast.





On this National Day of Prayer, may our Nation come together in UNITY!  We certainly need it!



So, armed with Proverbs 3 and Prayer, it's going to be a good day!

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

HAVING TEA WITH BARB & BON VOYAGE

We've have the privilege, and just good time, to have our intrepid Barb (AKA:  Rambo in the Blue Dress) with us for the past week.  WE LOVE BARB!!!

This morning, we bid farewell to this intrepid Lady of God.

For those of you who may be new to this "Rambling Blog", Barb is our hero.  She has "rescued" over 2500 children and so much more!

As a matter of fact, we would not have Ariana, nor would she likely be alive without Barb's courage, ingenuity & pure love.

Ari is an amazing gift to our family.  THANK YOU, BARB!

So, this morning, we bid farewell and wish her Bon Voyage as she flies back up to New York.

Meanwhile, we're working on gathering all of the components to assemble Air Mobile Rescuers....getting ready for the 2018 HURRICANE SEASON!

So, it's time to head to the airport and drop Barb and then get to work.

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