Camp in Wisconsin
I have Army Reserve weekend.To be safe I better not say the name of the base.Except for a brief visit in '90,it's been almost 20 years since I have been here.It's a pretty place with mixed forests on rolling hills.There are many trails too.The base has been modernized but there are many places where I have memories.Not much to report.I miss my 2 sons.The 3rd shift at work continues to drain and fatigue me.At least I can spend the quiet hrs w/ the Lord.Lately,Psa.37&38 have been very precious.Thurs.,I stopped at the Air Force base in Mpls and spent 2-3 hrs alone at the base chapel.The Lord must have worked it out as the door was open and lights were on but not a soul was around.I finished the last half of Deut.and then proceeded to Joshua until ch.5.When I came to the part of the theophany of the Lord Jesus Christ as Captain of the Lord's host,I actually wept.I prayed thru some Psalms as well.I remembered a number of things that Bill Gothard had taught in the Basic Seminar[this week from Mon.to Sat.at Straitgate Church].So many promises I tried to think of such as Phil.4:6,7 and then toward the end,at about 1800hrs,the Lord gave me a wonderful peace that I can't explain.It was so precious that I want more!I really want to be blessed of God and I want so very much for my family to be reunited in love and loyalty to the Lord.I pray this and I will continue because I know it is right:God commands us to love and forgive each other! If we do not do this we will NOT have his blessings and His punishment can continue to the children and the following generations.

My 47th birthday
Sat.,Oct.14,I turned 47!The clock of time is running fast[Psa.90:12].God help me to be a wise steward of whatever time I have left!1.Friday,Oct.13,was actually a very good day.I was asked to work an extra 6 hrs at the airport from Noon to 1800.I did OK even though I had only 4 hrs sleep in my car after the Midnite to 0600 shift.I drove to St.Therese where Dad and my dear sister Stephanie were waiting for me so we could go out for a birthday dinner.We chose the "Sunshine Factory" on Rockford Rd in New Hope.It's an expensive place but it turned out to be an excellent choice as the cuisine was superb,the decor nice and there was no rock music.We had some nice visits[mainly reminicing].The birthday gift I rec'd is secret but I want to say it was one of the best I ever had!2.Sat.,Oct.14,I drove 100 miles SW to the beautiful city of New Ulm.Settled by Germans 150 yrs ago I've always wanted to go there and I'm so glad I did as most of my ancestry is German.It was a beautiful Fall day and there was still alot of colors on the trees.I stopped to shop in the the city of St.Peter along the way and then arrived in New Ulm about 1330hrs[I should have started earlier!].I saw much of the town and listened to the "Oom-pah" bands that were playing for the Oktoberfest Celebration.I went up the large hill over-looking the city where the huge monument to the German warrior king,Hermann,is located.Very impressive view of the city nestled in the Minn.River Valley.I toured the nearby Martin Luther College campus nearby as well.Very nice campus.If only the Bible alone were used and believed there as the only authority!Must close! I'll write more about the weekend later as I had more nice experiances.I'm still looking for a decent job!

Snow Flurries
Colder weather,many of the beautiful trees are losing their beautiful colors.1.Con't frustration of being under-employed,losing money and awake nites[very hard on the body].2.Usual reading and radio.BBC/NPR has had many interesting news programs from around the world.3.Again,it's good to be with my Dad.Recently we watched a 2 hr special on the repressive regime in No.Korea.There was a secret video of people being executed before a firing squad!Their "crime" was simply helping others to leave the country.Other scenes showed people lying on the street who died from starvation.I know I should be grateful to God for His goodness to me and the USA.4.Church and fellowship has been fine and a blessing to me.

New Month of October
Beautiful Fall colors-how I would long for them to last!But like our lives we fade and our earthly bodies die.The seasons definitely teach us about the brevity of life.1.Still searching for a better job with not much in the way of prospects.With all my payments,I am losing a significant amount of money because of being under-employed.2.Going to the VA office at Ft.Snelling regularly to look for jobs[there right now].3.Every Mon.I am taking Dr.&Mrs.Buck up to the Bible Inst.in St.Cloud.The conversation and fellowship have been enjoyable.Like me they have travelled alot with their ministries[including 10 yrs in Africa as opposed to my 3 years there].4.Visiting Dad regularly.I hope and pray he will have more years and most important, that Dad will be saved.5.Enjoyed the brief time with my sons on Sunday.I waited 2 hrs for their mother to bring them on Sat.but she did'nt come and did'nt bother to call.I cannot understand how someone can be so un-ashamedly selfish and self-centered.Does the Lord Jesus Christ mean nothing to her? Why would she allow our precious sons to grow up loving this corrupt,sinful World[IJn2:15-17]?6.Missions Conf.last week was nice at Berean BC in Bkn Pk.7.Usual reading and praying[Col.4:2]
