     Pachyderm 37, a Chinook helicopter of the 101^st, was going down with its back end on fire.

     I was headed for the barn.   I had cheated death for 976 combat flying hours in Vietnam.  I was going home tomorrow.  Before I could channel change to the emergency frequency, the response came:  “Pachyderm, this is King 6.  We have you!”  I knew my assistance would not be needed.

      Every radio net has a designated emergency frequency that all aircraft monitor, but no one uses unless there is a life-threatening emergency.  On UHF it is 243.0 HZ, or GUARD frequency.  King 6
was the ultimate command authority orbiting in a C-130, 24/7 for rescue and recovery. . . the last voice some ever hear . . . GOD ON GUARD as every pilot referenced with reverence.   

     No sitcom or soap drama here.  You may cry during a soap opera, but you never pray.  When it’s real, men do both – before, during, and after these kinds of events.

     “Pray as though everything depends on the Lord, but work as thought everything depends on you,” said A. Theodore Tuttle.  We can hear God speak anytime if we stay tuned to the right frequency.
Our real test is to see if we will do the things we pray for.  GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE.

CATCH THE VISION, GET FACTS, DEVELOP SKILLS, AND BE PREPARED.

Ever had one of those days when you have nothing to do – rather, you have lots of busy work, but none of it is very important or significant?  You’re in a funk.

     The US Department of Labor estimated that 78% of all labor performed in the work place is non-essential – people making work to avoid work.  And we do a lot worse at home.

     When you’re feeling funky, think for a moment what one thing you could do before the day ends that would be most important for your well being.   Then, DO IT!!!

     In taking charge of your life, imagine how wonderful things will be if you just get one thing done for yourself each day for the next 365 days.  Identify inventory items you just can’t live without and go get some – a week’s worth, better a month’s worth, or even a year’s supply.  No, not Hershey bars.  Think real needs.  Water, food items (okay, Hershey bars can count), sleeping bags, shampoo, tooth paste. . . , stuff you will still need next month or next year.  That’s what preparedness is all about.  By next year you’ll have something to show for having taken up space on the planet.  Take good care of yourself.

     It’s one thing to try and stimulate the economy with tax or interest rate cuts, but it is entirely another to reshape attitudes about more prudent and balanced budgeting of time and money.

      The major objective of the Church’s Welfare Plan is to provide WORK for both givers and receivers.  To deny people the opportunity to contribute and be self reliant through application of their own energies and talents is to leave them short-changed.

     The Bishop’s Storehouse provides employment, education, self-employment, and health and physical welfare services.  The Bishop is charged with the responsibility to insure that the offerings of the faithful saints of time, commodities or monies are not used to support the idle poor, but to rescue them through education and encouragement to live within their means, and to make constructive contributions.

     RICHES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY, AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH LOVE.  Real love is wanting something for others more than you want it for yourself.  IT TAKES WORK TO SHOW REAL LOVE.   Everyone can be gainfully employed.
