For God, Family, and Country 
Ooooh, that CME is totally rad! Love the detail– you can see where there were probably some magnetic filaments around some of the other bright spots. I’m not sure what angle this was from though, but if it’s the CME I’m thinking it was, then we only got clipped by it. . .
And I thought my brothers and I were the only ones to use the word “rad”. 🙂
This was done by a highschool classmate of mine, about a group that helps women who were sexually assaulted during their time in the military: http://nyti.ms/WgYquT
(Incidentally, Zena was the first “Z” I ever met. . .. ^_^ )
Your old classmate works for the NYT? Isn’t she afraid she might get struck by lightning while at work? 😀 Awesome video!
Zena’s family left Beirut when she was little. Very little. She was always, to my memory, rahter fearless and cheerful in her fearlessness. I’m not sure how her politics swing these days, but perhaps she can be a spark of sanity in a dark and crazy place. ^_^
I was myself quite impressed with the video. Well done, and without the posturing one expects to come from something with the NYT time to it. . .
Zena sounds like an impressive gal. Hopefully she doesn’t actually have to work in the building, and she can spark them through teleconferences or something. 😉 Reminds me of a buddy of mine from church who’s full-blooded Lebanese. His folks had to get out of the country, too.
Reminds me that we seem to have forgotten that there were a lot of Christians who used to live and worship in the Middle East.
Both the sun and the Son are amazing.
Indeed! and AMEN!
Yes! And just as the sun is ever present every day in our lives, so too is the Son ever present, day and night, beside us. When we think He is far away, He is usually the closest, ready to help you. All you have to do is ask. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be open to you. All we must do, is allow Him to enter into our lives and mold us into a person He wants us to be. His will be done, and not ours. Allow the Son to be our Way, Truth, and Light. He will light up the path He wishes us to take in today’s very dark world. So let us follow the Light, the Son, the sunshine in our lives, putting one foot in front of the other. He will be our strength. In Him, all things are possible. Nothing is impossible for God. He will help us and give us strength to carry our burdens. So let us follow His example, get back up when we fall, or when the burden gets heavy, call upon His Name, and carry our cross just as He did.
Oh, and one other thing. It really strengthens me throughout the day to know that I have like-minded brothers and sisters here at 4GFC, who are experiencing heavy burdens themselves, but are praying for my wellbeing. Thank you! 🙂
That is the truth, Knight. These days, the crosses are heavy. Many of us are either so busy scrambling for jobs or too down about things to post much, but it’s great to have some encouragement from each other. Thanks for this!
Hey, ZurichMike! I saw your news yesterday about the job not working out. So sorry to hear it. I’ll dedicate my rosary tonight for you and pray for your job search and for your outlook. God bless, and like Knight said, please remember that He is ALWAYS near.
Hey, I figured out why you Hawaiian guys are so encouraging. You live in the happiest state! It’s a scam, I tell ya! 🙂

Hey Grunt! Did I miss something? Or was yesterday a 48 hour day? 😉
Yeah it is a real scam! Take a look at the top three states and then you’ll realize the real scam of it. They also happen to be three of the most liberal states in the country. Don’t think the polling thing is a farce yet? Yeah Hawaii and Colorado? From sand n surf to snow and ski? What’s the link? Liberal agenda you say? Yeah like I believe anything they print or publish anymore!
Oh and for the record: I Love Hawaii! It is surrounded by thousands and thousands of sharks. Way better than any of the liberals in office! 😉 at least with the sharks we know they are doing what they are suppose to do. What is the excuse for the rest of them?
Every meteorite strike – ever? – on Earth.

It’s a plot, I’m tellin’ ya!
👿
Hey! I better get on the phone and let them know about the last one that went through here. The boom, sound of thunder, rumble and huge ruckus up the coastline. At least we’d be on the map then!
Twenty years ago today. Waco. 👿

Grunt – letter from Magpul on Facebook
We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents’ ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.
Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.
Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.
Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement.
I need four please! 😀
