A Day of Worship and Celebration

Today is Mother's Day, and it is fitting that it is celebrated on the Lord's Day. Gloria always says that she could never have effectively reared five children without the Lord's help every day. This day began with worship in the post chapel at Davis-Monthan AFB. In our 48 years experience with military chapels, the D-M experience has been the best. They are expecting 65 children for Vacation Bible School next month. The facility is grand, and the Chaplain is an outstanding, enthusiastic presenter, who knows how to use humor effectively. The Sunday Sunday school class we attended is warm and participatory, and the teacher, Lou, is simply terrific. He is 87 years old, and walks with a walker. However, he has the spiritual mind of a mature, mentally alert man of 35. He also has a friendly, outgoing manner. He has bravely taken on the Book of Revelation as the current study. Note his photo!

Following the service, Jerry treated Gloria to a special Mothers Day Champagne Buffet at the Mirage Officers Club. What a wonderful meal! In addition to the standard breakfast fare, there was smoked salmon, chicken, shrimp, tuna, prime rib cooked to perfection, and even caviar.
Jerry, remembering those cold, hungry days in the field with the 2nd Armored Cav, had a double portion of SOS. That fancy cuisine is OK, but let's not forget the important stuff that sticks with you! We finished off the meal with a generous serving of lemon merangue pie.
