Where's The line to see Jesus



The new video is now on Youtube.
Our niece Becky is of course the featured vocalist ant the composer her dad Steve makes a cameo appearance. Toward the end of video but very prominently you will see Nancy and several others from our church. For a moment you will see some walkers in the back ground but I doubt you will be able to notice that I am one of the walkers.
I am confident you will enjoy and the song will brighten your holiday season.

THANKS TO ALL VETERANS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY
I still remember WW11
*** Saving quarters to buy war bonds
*** Gas rationing
*** Night time blackouts in St Louis
*** My dad and uncles serving in the military in far off places in our world.
*** I remember Christmas Eve 1945 when I my dad came home after three years.


My dad in the Philippines






Both my dad and his younger brother Uncle Wib both served in the Philippine's and somehow they met.
My dad is on the left






War time currency notice it states military currency at the top.


I wonder who the Junior soldier is?




Nancy's dad served in Italy and always had war stories to tell.


I just finished a Stephen E. Ambrose book 'The Wild Blue" the story of men and boys who flew B-24's over Germany.
A great book.Nancy and I often talk about our being so mature at age 21 than the kids are today yet in WW11 we had men ages 18 to 23 as pilots,,radiomen, and turret gunners flying expensive and intricate air craft.
Ambrose ends the book and I end this blog with a life searching question.
Where did America find such men?
THANKS TO ALL OUR VETERANS!!!!!!

A RECENT DAY TRIP!!!!!!!!!
A recent Thursday found Nancy and I in Kimswick Mo touring the Anheuser home and Fredmar Farms that is only available for touring on Thursday.
The Anheuser home is the former home of the last Anhesurer Frederick to work for the brewery. The house tour was well worth the small fee and the grounds were outstanding.







A fast moving barge traveling down the mighty Mississippi.



I have viewed the Mississippi from its beginning in Minn. to the end in Louisiana and this is "the most beautiful spot" that I have viewed of the mighty Mississippi.





The Anheuser's also were horse people.
