My brother was 173 Airborne and bragged about jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. He was not a pilot thought.

LOL - Actually one time I did jump. The pilot was hidden among the regulars and didn’t know that when I jump he’d sneak back and take over - people freaked for a moment. Too Funny! I said “I’m outta here” and bailed.

July 16Costly Joy
When a man found it, he . . . went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Matthew 13:44At the sound of the digital melody, all six of us sprang into action. Some slipped shoes on, others simply bolted for the door barefoot. Within seconds we were all sprinting down the driveway chasing the ice cream truck. It was the first warm day of summer, and there was no better way to celebrate than with a cold, sweet treat! There are things we do simply because of the joy it brings us, not out of discipline or obligation.
In the pair of parables found in Matthew 13:4446, the emphasis is selling everything to gain something else. We might think the stories are about sacrifice. But thats not the point. In fact, the first story declares it was joy that led the man to sell everything and buy the field. Joy drives changenot guilt or duty.
Jesus isnt one segment of our lives; His claims on us are total. Both men in the stories sold all (v. 44). But heres the best part: the result of this selling of everything is actually gain. We may not have guessed that. Isnt life in Christ about taking up your cross? Yes. It is. But when we die, we live; when we lose our life, we find it. When we sell all, we gain the greatest treasure: Jesus! Joy is the reason; surrender is the response. The treasure of knowing Jesus is the reward.
By: Glenn Packiam Reflect & Pray
How have you experienced joy in your relationship with Jesus? What is He inviting you to surrender to Him?
Dear Jesus, open my eyes to see the treasure that You are! Direct my heart to You as the source of true and unfailing joy, and let me ever be fixed on You. Grant me the grace to surrender all to You.

Good evening, lightman...how was your big storm? All your trees still standing?
Happy hump day and I am so glad it is finally over. A new payroll system that is not working very well. Friday we will start hearing about all the wrong pay. *sigh*

Just lost a 5” diameter dead hickory...half a dozen stove logs. Might be enough to bank the stove for one overnight.
Every bit counts!
