Home – Getting ready to leave again….
Got in at 1:30 a.m. from Amherst. Atlanta was it’s usual train wreck in summer, high winds and thunderstorms delayed my flight for four hours! I could scream and kick and cry, but then it’s over, I’m home for a few days, and then it’s off to the next assignment, what’s new! I had a great time at NECC, so many wonderful friends to visit with and meeting and getting to know a bunch more. It was really nice to meet our new TSR Alex, the meet Kris Bosworth’s husband (just married), spend time with Bob Watts, and what a joy to have time again with Bill Durrence, a very good, old friend, he’s not old, well actually we both are, but the friendship is a long one! I enjoyed presenting to the folks and Saturday night Joe (McNally) proved once again why he is one of the very best in the business, what a great shooter, entertainer and guy! The bigger the stage the more impressive he is, he had over a thousand in the audience! I really enjoyed seeing Wayne Bennett, as always, and it was terrific to meet Mike Moats, finally, what a great guy, and really talented close-up artist. All in all it was a great trip.
For the next few days it’s catch up on reports, organize for a week at Oshkosh, America’s biggest air show, and spend time with my bride! I will be running a continuation of the manual focus lens test at Oshkosh, and hoping to post a lot of aerial stuff for you next week.
Today’s Principle from Charles Stanley’s 30 Life Principles;
5. God does not require us to understand His will, just obey it, even if it seems unreasonable.
One of the hardest things for me to do, personally, is follow God’s direction and will when I don’t understand it. I’m sure we all struggle with that, but Charles is right, we are not called to understand allHis ways, just be obedient to His will. The good news is that in my entore walk with Him, I have never once taken the wrong path when I follwed His will and was obedient, not once! So if I lean on my own understandign, I may miss His greatest blessings!

Bill, So sorry for your delays in Atlanta. But, you should know that the storms which delayed you brought shouts of joy from those of us who live in North GA and have been suffering through a terrible drought this summer. Romans 8:28. In Hisservice, Casey
Romans 8:28 indeed, and I’m glad you guys got the much needed rain just wish you had gotten it Tuesday!
Started teaching workshop at the Army Post at Ft leonard Wood Missouri. I love teaching my craft to others, I’m seeing a trend that more ladies are shooters. I’m old enough to remember when photograghy was a male thing. Priase God for time at home.
Colossians 1:9-10 To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord it helps to be filled with the knowledge of his will with both spiritual wisdom and understanding. So understanding and obedience should go hand in hand.
So let’s pray for understanding because that will also provide motivation!
Just a thought
Cheers Al
