the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Camp Murray, HQ of the WA Nat. Guard, is right across the highway from Ft. Lewis.
Bible in a Year:
Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
Bridger Walker was only six when a menacing dog lunged at his younger sister. Instinctively, Bridger jumped in front of her, shielding her from the dog’s ferocious attack. After receiving emergency care and ninety stitches to his face, Bridger explained his actions. “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.” Thankfully, plastic surgeons have helped Bridger’s face heal. But his brotherly love, evidenced in recent pictures where he’s seen hugging his sister, remains strong as ever.
Ideally, family members watch over us and care for us. True brothers step in when we’re in trouble and come alongside us when we’re afraid or alone. In reality, even our best brothers are imperfect; some even wound us. We have one brother, however, who’s always on our side, Jesus. Hebrews tells us that Christ, as an act of humble love, joined the human family, sharing our “flesh and blood” and becoming like us, “fully human in every way” (2:14, 17). As a result, Jesus is our truest brother, and He delights in calling us His “brothers and sisters” (v. 11).
We refer to Jesus as our Savior, Friend, and King—and each of these are true. However, Jesus is also our brother who has experienced every human fear and temptation, every despair or sadness. Our brother stands alongside us—always. .
What’s been your experience with human brothers? How do you see Jesus as your true brother?
Dear Jesus, I’m astounded to think of You as my brother. Walk with me. Love me. Teach me. Show me Your way.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Howdy, lauren.
Are you getting any benefit from the “cold” front moving through?
Howdy, Kathy.
Nice to see REAL rainfall up there, not just sprinkles. Yay for that!
My son is currently stationed there.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Howdy, luvie.
Bet you were glad to have a cooler day since you had to get out for a bit.
Wish it had been cooler here. Thought I was gonna melt when I went to the store this afternoon. The next two days are going to be really nice, they say.
I was there from 1971 to 1973 with the 58th Signal Battalion.
Hey there, radu!
Yes, it was really nice with a breeze that didn’t burn the skin off my face. Gave me a bit more energy, for sure.
Sorry it was so hot there. When I checked, our temps were very close, but with your high humidity, I know it felt much hotter. Thank goodness you get a break tomorrow. Ours is headed back up. Ugh.
We had a breeze here, too, and that’s what saved me while I was out. No parking spaces close to the door and it was a long walk across that hot parking lot.
Had a couple of brief heavy showers earlier and it’s raining again now. Steamy out there at the moment but this should be the cold front coming through. Waiting for that cooler, drier air.
Bummer your temps are going back up again. :-(
Ohhhh, enjoy the sound and the scent of the rain. I can barely remember them. LOL! Hope the steamy part goes away soon!
I got to take Gizmo to the lake for the very first time in over two weeks.
How's everyone doing this morning?
