1LT Peter Duston
1SG Imerman! I loved that show and the von Trapp kinder. I was in Salzburg before the movie and hung out in that house owned by Oberlin College for the their music program. When I watched Maria swinging up that lane to the house, I went: Hey, I know that place.

1LT Peter Duston - That is really cool. My wife and I have walked that whole neighborhood, our last station in Bamberg was a few hours drive away and we hit Salzburg once or twice a year, loved that place. I did not know Oberlin had a house there. My youngest was a professor at Oberlin for 2 years right out of grad school, he is now at Denison.

I expect you enjoyed News Years eve and are thankful to survive 2020 while sad for any friends and family members who died this past year. Hopefully you are grateful to the LORD for eternal salvation as well as HIS daily blessings. ‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.’ [Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV] my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman
Lord YOU know what is in store for each of us and those we love. I pray for an increase of compassion and endurance in doing good works for others for each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. I pray we submit our plans to YOU as well as hopes and dreams for us and those who depend on us. ‘let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.' [Hebrews 4-16 ESV]
I pray for each one of us who trust in the LORD that we walk carefully in faith and are careful how we speak or write out others since the soul of each human being has been created in an imperfect image of the LORD. Only the adopted sons and daughters of God are having our soul sanctified into the prefect reflection of God’s image in our own soul [at the time we physically die] ‘‘Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is… be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.’ [Ephesians 5: 15-16; 18-21 ESV]
I pray for those who are out on the streets tonight especially in colder areas and areas where the streets are dangerous to walk or sleep near heated areas where warm air raises from underground vents. Remember your brothers and sisters who are veterans on hard times. 'A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.’ [Proverbs 17:17 ESV]
I pray that we have childlike faith and trust in God. 'At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.' [Matthew 18:1-4 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well New Year’s night and will awake refreshed and healthy on New Years’ day morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

2020 like some years was not a good year for many. However, we did lose some great people with whom we shared memories with during 2020 and before. The real tragedy with 2020 is that I do not see any improvements from 2020 and situations may even get worse. Then again..."Hope reigns eternal".

I love this quote and live by it, I tell you good bye either you have crossed over or you have pushed a boundary that I have established and has been told to you. You get one or maybe two freebees then you will no longer be welcome around me. I will remain professional as required but personal life is just that and the trespasser will not be welcomed with open arms.
