Re: 40 Years Ago Today...Where Were You ?

When off duty at Ft Lewis I was over at North Fort Lewis helping the Red Cross the whole month of May 1975 helping with the South Vietnamese orphans that just arrived and kept coming daily. April and May of 1975 has been on my mind of recent.

Other 3:16's...Encouragement

With so much flak ever increasing towards Christians be economic, religous, social, etc it is so easy to slip away and say to God "I don't/never know you" whether it is born out of a wish to stay alive in a hostile enviroment that faces our fellow believers in Iraq, Syria, or here in North...

Re: Laid Off? Need work? Post it here and lets network!

The company I work for has few openings compared to a year ago. I'm still working enough to pay bills though; I'm thinking of a couple of lines of work that translate into a "tentmaker" skill like Paul the Apostle.Perhaps appliance repair.

I have been doing 72 miles a week but now I'll be doing closer to 100 miles per week as I now prepare for next year's Seattle to Portla...

I was gonna try something else but I'll hold tight for a while. Before that I was in Computer hardware operations - IBM 3800 Laser Print...

OT Preventing wood stock from splitting or cracking.

I'm interested in refinishing a rifle stock giving the stock a matte finish that doesn't shine. After stripping the current finish I want to treat the wood to mineral oil or Thompson water seal and put a finish over that. This will be my GoTo/Truck rifle not a hanger queen. I want to protect the rif...
