THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES.....SEPTEMBER 2020A

"HURRICANE SALLY" TAKING AIM AT NEW ORLEANS & AN EARLY MORNING FLIGHT


For the 2nd time this month, another Hurricane is about to strike the Louisiana Coast.  


Looks like Sally will bring a lot of rain and wind.  We've seen the Hurricanes pick up speed as they approach the coast.  We're PRAYING for all in the path!


Meanwhile, I'll be catching an early Allegiant Flight to Orlando this morning.  


Need to be sure we're prepared, for not only Sally, but....the other storms brewing in the Tropics.


This 2020 Hurricane Season is already "SMASHING" RECORDS &....IT'S NOT OVER!!


Time to hit the road for Knoxville to catch that early flight.


Stay tuned....the ADVENTURE CONTINUES!!


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

HERE WE GO AGAIN....HERE COMES SALLY!

We know that this is an EXTREMELY ACTIVE HURRICANE SEASON.  


After Hurricane Laura "mauled" South Louisiana...we have another STORM growing and brewing and headed for Louisiana.  

Her name is SALLY!  She could strike as a Cat 2 Hurricane with winds in excess of 100 MPH.  We're keeping a very close on this one!!

Here's more on "SALLY" - PREPARE NOW! SALLY EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL IN LOUISIANA AS A CAT 2!!

It looks like I'll be heading back to Florida very soon to get READY for what might lie ahead.


BTW, Air Mobile has 5 Rescuer Water Purifiers strategically positioned in Louisiana for immediate deployment.  

We're reaching out to the LA Cajun Navy today for coordination.

Should you feel led by God to help us fund these vital units, there is DONATE info and links below.  

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

5 NAMED STORMS(!) - WILD WILDFIRES & COVID-19 - WHOA!

As I sit in this comfortable "Retreat Cabin" and look at the news, my heart races a bit.  I'm THANKFUL for the peace and quiet and rest up here.  

What is coming next?

All the more reason to hold tightly onto Jesus' Hand!  All the more reason to seek the Lord for His Divine Direction.


Right now, there is the possibility of 5(!!) Named Storms at once in the Tropics.  

Several may not reach land, but, the area is EXTREMELY UNSTABLE and looks like a couple may gain a lot of strength and do a lot of damage with the possible loss of life.

Hears more - 5 NAMED STORMS POSSIBLE!!  

Air Mobile is gearing up for what might be ahead!!


Meanwhile on the U.S. West Coast literally HUNDREDS of wildfires have broken out.  Mass Evacuations are happening as I type.

PLEASE PRAY for all in the path of these terrible wildfires!!  PRAY for all who are FIGHTING these wildfires!!

Now, regarding COVID-19....frankly, I hardly know what to say.  How bad is it really?  I don't know, but the numbers are disturbing.

Cindy and I wear a mask when we go into any kind of store.  

We always have hand-sanitizer.  Truth is....there are many opinions and what appears to be a lot of mis-information.  

Again, if we err on any side, may we err on the safe side.

I urge you to PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS!!  If ever there is a time to make the right decisions it is now!

I'm so THANKFUL to have you with us on this journey through life.  So appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!!

WHERE WERE YOU....19 YEARS AGO??

Very little is being said in the news about the 9-11-2001 ATTACK ON AMERICA.  

I certainly remember that day with crystal clarity.  It is a day that changed America and the world forever.  May we not forget.


Here's more - 19 YEARS ON...DOES A POST 9/11 GENERATION REMEMBER THE ATTACKS??

Today, the world is facing the COVID-19 PANDEMIC.  Another WORLD CHANGER.

As for me and my house, we're pressing in closer to Jesus and seeking HIS DIRECTION with all of our heart.

Yesterday was an enjoyable day here at the "Retreat Cabin".  

Ari, Cindy and I all rode our newly acquired "Rescue Horses".  They are very sweet and a true gift to us.

Here's Ari riding her beautiful Arabian, Ti Gato (Little Cup Cake in Creole).




And, here is Stryker, my Morgan/Arabian.







And, Cindy taking "Sparrow" for a spin.

God is so good!!!

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

A SWEET RIDE HOME....


Can't begin to tell you just how much I love the ride from FL to our TN Retreat Cabin.  

Yes, it can range between 11-12 hours, but.... it's still a wonderful, spiritual experience.


Yesterday evening, when I rolled into our little town of Sneedville, was greeted by a lovely rainbow.

The last week has been like a whirlwind.  The drive to FL and then flying the Little Donkey into the heart of the damage done by Hurricane Laura.  

So many images in my mind.  The Louisiana folk are a tough bunch for sure.  They'll rebuild and move on with life.


Enjoyed working with the LA Cajun Navy.  Now, they're some crazy Cajuns for sure ( I say that in the most complimentary manner).  Love them!!  

Remember, I'm a "Certified Cajun" also.  Born and raised in Baton Rouge.

BTW, we're still believing God for the funding for 5 more Air Mobile Rescuer water purifiers for them.

Note:  Down below are ways that you can give.  THANK YOU!!


Up early this morning and simply blown away by beauty, tranquility & peace here at the Retreat Cabin.

Time to get to work....

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

 FAREWELL TO A DEAR FRIEND....


It was an honor to conduct the Funeral Service for our good friend and neighbor for many years, Clyde Graham.

Clyde was loved by all and had the most kind and gentle heart.

Clyde allowed Jesus to flow freely and fully through his heart.  

We're all going to miss Clyde.

His precious wife, Pat, is brave and solid in her faith in Jesus.  PLEASE remember to pray for Pat as she deals with this huge loss.

We are consoled to know that Clyde is walking the streets of gold and forever in Heaven with his Lord Jesus, whom he loved with such abandon.

In between the Hurricane Laura Relief Mission and the funeral for Clyde, I've been working with my dear friends of many years, Ted and Audrey Beckett to get their son home from Haiti.  

He is very ill and truly needs a MIRACLE!  With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.  Please join with us in PRAYER for this MIRACLE TO HAPPEN!!

We're also keeping a very close eye on the Tropics!  There are now 4 Storms brewing in these very unstable waters!  AIR MOBILE WILL BE READY!!


Here's more - ATLANTIC FULL OF ACTIVITY....4 STORMS!!


Time to wrap up my time here in Florida.  Time to hit the road for Tennessee.  Looking forward to the 12 hour drive (really!).  

It is a wonderful time to reflect and take in the beauty of our great nation.

Truth is, I LOVE THIS DRIVE!!


I'm especially glad to be joining my Cindy and Ariana back at the Retreat Cabin!!!

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

BACK IN FLORIDA...DANCING AROUND STORMS


Flew from Wilmington, NC (Dave's home base) to Titusville, FL yesterday.  Dodged some major buildups along the way.  




This is certainly playing out to be an extremely BUSY HURRICANE SEASON.

Today is the PEAK of this very active season.

We're continuing to PREPARE for what storms might lie ahead.


Thankful for navigation gear to steer clear of the storms.

Had a good, smooth flight right into Titusville, FL.  As soon as I landed, the sky opened up and dropped a deluge on the field (perfect timing).

Today, will be conducting the funeral service for our dear friend and neighbor, Clyde Graham.  What a precious saint.  Sure going to miss Clyde.

Please remember to pray for Pat, his dear wife, and the whole family.

Time to prepare for the funeral.  As always, THANK YOU for your faithful and invaluable prayer, love and support!!

BACK IN THE SADDLE....


Well, took a day off to let some bad WX pass and just needed a bit of a rest.  

Enjoyed visiting the Battleship North Carolina.

Wilmington, NC is an extremely Patriotic town.

Dave spent some time showing me around.  Enjoyed the rest....but, it's time to get back in the saddle.


This incredible ship has quite a history!

PLEASE REMEMBER to PRAY for the folks in Louisiana who have been devastated by Hurricane Laura.


The LA Cajun Navy is continuing their noble outreach and yes, they do need additional funding for 5 more Air Mobile Rescuers.  

PLEASE consider helping with this.  The DONATE info is below.

Need to be back in Florida today, as I'll be attending a funeral (tomorrow) for my dear friend and great neighbor, Clyde Graham.  

Sure miss Clyde!  Please PRAY for Pat, as she deals with this loss.


Meanwhile, we're tracking a number of WX Hot Spots, including right here off the coast of North Carolina.  

Here's more - TRACKING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS IN THE ATLANTIC!! 

The Little Donkey is flying great.  Dave and I are headed to the airport this morning.

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