Just for fun - one of my favorite spots! (Click on this title and see why!)

Last year about this time I went home to Honolulu, called my wife and stood before the camera waving to her while I talked to her. Closest I've come to Skype, I think:) Image takes about 10 seconds or so to reach Florida.

In Tribute to the Jailer

When I was stationed on Okinawa shortly after the earth began to cool, I made friends with a young second lieutenant and former Vietnamese linguist known to those of you who visit his blogpage as The Jailer. He is one of the most godly men I know and his family also reflects the fragrance of Christ as few others I have known.
Two days ago he took command of the USAF Honor Guard. For those of you who may not be acquainted with the Honor Guard, let me just say that you can count on one hand the number of military positions with greater prestige and public visibility than this one (with the possible exception of the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels). Anyway,in honor of the man who has everything but gives it all in the service of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Way to go, Jailer! How you shine for Christ and for our country!
