Angels fly with us

Here are a couple of cool pictures of the nose paint on a fighter plane in the FIRST Gulf War.

Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk 2B
The first Buccaneers arrived at Muharraq (Bahrain) from RAF Lossiemouth on 26 January 1991. Eventually 12 aircraft were used to provide laser-designation for Muharraq and Dahran based Tornados. The first mission was flown on 2 February. A total of 216 sorties were eventually flown. The aircraft returned home in early March 1991.

Sometimes we feel like we are just the opposite of these behemouth machines of war. We feel under attack and absolutely helpless. Like the world is completely against us. Like the Devil is out to get us. Like we're weak and vulnerable and everything is futile. We try to share God's love with others and are greeted with hostility. But we do not fight with conventional weapons...

"People may refuse our love,
or reject our message,
but they are defensless
against our prayers"
~Rick Warren


Don't ever stop praying for others, especially people you know don't believe. And while we're at it, remember to pray for our troops that are away from home and in harm's way.

Me ka pule mates,
