Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Evening, Kathy! Wow, am I among the 1st 10?
Great to see a “ship” bio.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Never heard of this! Amazing, as badass as the Destroyers and DE’s at Samar!
Bible in a Year :
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices.
When France and Argentina met in the 2022 World Cup final, it was an incredible contest that many dubbed the “greatest World Cup match in history.” As the final seconds ticked off in extra time, the score was tied 3-3, sending the soccer teams to penalty kicks. After Argentina made the winning goal, the nation erupted in celebration. More than a million Argentineans overwhelmed downtown Buenos Aires. Drone footage spread across social media showing this raucous, happy scene. One BBC report described how the city quaked with “an explosion of joy.”
Joy is always a wonderful gift. Proverbs, though, describes how a city, a people, can experience joy that goes even deeper and lasts far longer. “When the righteous prosper,” Proverbs says, “the city rejoices” (11:10). When those who truly live by God’s designs for humanity begin to influence a community, then this signals good news because it means God’s justice is taking hold. Greed diminishes. The poor find support. The oppressed are protected. Whenever God’s right way of living flourishes, then there’s joy and “blessing” in the city (v. 11).
If we’re genuinely living out God’s ways, then the result will be good news for everyone. The way we live will make the community around us better and more whole. God invites us to be part of His work to heal the world. He invites us to bring joy to the city. .
Reflect & Pray
Where do you see the need for joy in your city? How can you bring God’s joy there?
Dear God, please help me to join You in bringing joy to others.
Thanks for tonight’s Canteen, Kathy.

We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Howdy, Kathy.
After a VERY foggy start, your day turned out to be gorgeous. Bet it lifted everyone’s spirits up there.
Our neck of the woods I think is closest to the path of totality than anyone else here. It's going to be a fun day that's for sure. We also have a severe weather outlook later today for our area.
Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
And here is the severe weather outlook for today.
How's everyone doing today?
Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.
Just a drive-by good morning too all.
and to read the interesting Glowworm history.
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

After that story, everyone is busy talking about the weather today… sad.
