The Starfish

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said ” I made a difference for that one.”
Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

Sam is 6!


Sam, home one year now, celebrated his 6th birthday!  Sam loves planes, so we decided to spend his birthday at the NAS Naval Museum.  Sam has big dreams of becoming a pilot, but not just any pilot, he wants to be a Blue Angel pilot! So, Pat took Sam on the Blue Angel simulator ride!  All smiles!
