Greetings my friends. It is Sunday February 25TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.
Well – it’s the final Sunday of my 39-year career with the USAF. Tomorrow (Monday) I return back to Homestead Florida for the final time as a Federal Government employee. I’ll be on-base on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to “out-process”. That’s a fancy military term for “depart”. I’ll be driving and walking around the airbase with a checklist of buildings and offices that I need to report to in order to get signed-off for clearance / departure from the base. Each office will essentially confirm that I don’t have any obligations with them or possess any Government equipment. My final stop is the office where I’ll turn-in my I.D. card. After that – I’ll drive off the base and into the sunset.
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.
(2 Timothy 4:7 NIV)
On Friday March 01ST I’ll awake the brand-new day as a 100% Retiree. No need to prepare for that life-changing event. I’ve been living the life of a semi-retiree for the past year (ever since I moved away from Homestead).
My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture whether it’s part of a sermon, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord, and get closer to Him with each new day.
If you wish to learn more about the God I know then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !
Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:
The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

In today’s Sunday Scripture you say you’re heading into a new life of “100% retirement”, but in About Me your said that “I plan to work a part-time job somewhere fun (just to stay busy).” Have your plans changed or do you still want to work part-time? What about as a rehired annuitant?
I should probably spend some time to update my “About Me” page. (It’s been a few years.) Maybe change that statement in question to “I plan to serve all around my new hometown (just to stay busy).”
