<<< Picture of Tom Schuckman -- Door Gunner, with the 240th AHC, BearCat, RVN, age 20, 1970 -- what a rush!



I remember the "good old days" that were pretty much care free with dreams of grandeur in High School.
I was not and still AM NOT a 'fear- monger' or 'chicken little.' But I did learn a few things the hard way in taking a chance/ gamble, trying something new or been unprepared for a 'storm.' Men don't like 'surprises' or getting caught with their pants down! We need our own cave, a bear skin and a good spear... lol. Even John the Baptist lived a rugged, very basic life as he served God-- but the Lord took care of him. But we are actually far ahead of the game in 2009, August, because we have the whole, complete BIBLE ! Love it-- or hate it, like Obama, his henchmen, and the ACLU, -----"For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12. The Bible or thoughts of it probably burn and shear their flesh! Why else would they want to destroy it, jailed Christians for just praying in Jesus' name and take it off all public buildings, etc. Yes... love it or hate it--- the BIBLE holds the true KEYS of understanding the past, present and FUTURE -- yet God prevents the proud and wicked to "see" the Truth within [1st Cor. 3:19] ... "for the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God." I know that it seems strange, paradoxically, that serious, true Christian KNOW AND UNDERSTAND what terrors are to come shortly [Luke 21:26] -- yet they are so filled with JOY, HAPPINESS, LOVE in spite of everything toppling down right now!!

I just got a letter from Sears today saying that they are changing the rules and contract across the board so that now there will be a 24% + interest CHARGE for that charge card!! I have good credit and pay my bill ON TIME-- ALL THE TIME! Yes, the Credit Card bubble has burst now too-- but this is only the tip of the ice burg. And I say, buy a few extra bags of sugar...so your wife can make the cookies for Christmas... lol. God will protect HIS servants/ followers, but the picnic baskets might only contain baloney sandwiches and onions.
If we indeed claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, would we not want to share this TREASURE of God's Word with others/ everyone with a hearing ear?? That is what I am doing right now-- and every time I step out of the back door, where ever I go-- as much as my crippled body will endure. Who knows when the Lord will visit us or take us up to Paradise?
And one of these days when you don't see my post anymore-- it might be because the God of the BIBLE has come back to take care of this old Soldier-- I pray.

God bless all my Friends,

By Jack KelleyMen will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world. (Luke 21:26)I realize that the above verse is meant for the Great Tribulation, but it came to mind as I read some of the “news reports” that have come across my screen this week. Here’s a sample of what’s currently going around. The President and all of his men are lying through their teeth regarding the

One of the many practical things that Soldiers learn in AIT [Advanced Individual Training] after Basic Training, is the Phonetic Alphabet [below]. When just ONE wrong command or misunderstanding of the Order will get many innocent "friendlies" killed.... The Army 'bridges' all racial, regional, dialectal, language barriers with this method.

I was just feeling very thankful this rainy, cloudy morning that the Lord has allowed me to enjoy a relative financially comfortable, retired, freedom in America. Things could have been much different if I had lost a limb or worse in combat- Vietnam, or one of the many nasty accidents in my life time. I honestly feel that it's a miracle I am still alive at age 60! Some things that saved me were a strong, muscular, trained body, experience, co-ordination, etc --- but mostly God's Grace and Will that I be SAVED for some other purpose in service to Him. Although we can never pay God back or buy our way into heaven, we can "store up our treasures in Heaven" by kindnesses, services to God, obedience and support of the true Church, IMHO.

Just like on the farm in WI, when my Dad got home from hard, sweaty work in Milwaukee as a crane operator-- he would demand from us if we got all our chores done, or what did we do that day constructively? He figured if he had to go to work every day, sick or well-- we should do the same. That's called: Instilling a 'hard work ethic' in us. Jesus had to learn carpentry, Peter was a fisherman, Luke was a physician, etc. We cannot all be rich and we are admonished to be the best we can be--- no matter what circumstances we were born in or are in. Satan's world would have us depressed, feeling like a total failure if we cannot reach some "media/ or Hollywood driven pinnacle of success." Let's get REAL!! Heaven will be a few million times better than ANYTHING we could hope for in our short 70-80 years on earth!! Life is a vapor!

My wife has such a hard time breathing even on Oxygen inside our A/C house when the weather has a 'bad air quality index.' I was just thinking how many poor inner city old folks/ and 3rd world countries people are dying right now for lack of clean cool air. But some of them choose to live that way who gamble, drink, smoke themselves to death --- or have 'obama- type- Gov't's' that destroy the Middle Class.

And then they demand MY [our] tax money for a 'bail out'... I feel lazy today but I have to fix a window in my truck bed cap to keep the rain out. If I only had a helper to trace the window on paper or wood. It's supposed to rain all week up here in WI, but FL will get some rain too.

The man who delivers our oxygen just called and is coming over in half an hour, PTL, and we need to get going now. Just think, we are probably too old, to get oxygen with 'Obama-care' even though we PAIN INTO THE SYSTEM BIG BUCKS ALL OUR LIVES WITH HARD WORK... lol.
All I want is to get every dollar I was forced to PUT IN back before I kick off! But instead, obama wants to give our tax dollars to illegal aliens who NEVER PUT INTO THE POT! That stinks! I realize that most everyone has their hand out, but our combat Veterans should come first as far as support, care and well being.
Enough of my rant for now.... have a great day!
