Air Force One

Jeff's retirement ceremony was a real blessing today. So amazing being in the hanger of Air Force One. The back drop for the program was the actual 747 dedicated to moving the President. The Air Force One crew is one of those organizations that you never hear anything about and that is good. In this case no news is good news. Their mission has been so successful for so many years. They work behind the scenes of the public, with such precision and dedication, yet they never receive public recognition for what they do. I heard the History Channel recently did a documentary. Be sure to watch. It debuts this June.

I really enjoy being invited to the work place of our church members. So cool to see what they do and to be able to meet the people they spend their lives with.

It was great spending my day at Air Force One. Truly is one of the perks in pastoring here in the DC area.

Congratulations Jeff for a very successful 23 years!

I'm sore!

My mom came up to visit last night. She is always such a joy to be with. She truly is one of the godliest people I know. It was great that she was able to be in our prayer meeting last night. Today she wanted to work in the yard. We worked all day. the yard is sure looking better, but now I am sore! We will probably work several more hours this weekend to finish some of the projects we are working on. I'll enjoy it, mostly because I am able to spend time with mom.

Tomorrow we will break for a few hours. Jeff Clark, one of our church members is having his retirement ceremony. He has served in the Air Force for 23 years. I have the privilege of doing the opening invocation. Both my mom and I are really looking forward to celebrating and honoring Jeff. I am a huge fan of our military. So appreciative of their sacrifice for my freedom.
