OSU Football Star Don Scott died this day in 1943 in WWII. In 1939 OSU became part of the Civilian Pilot training Program. Its purpose was to foster private flying, but it quickly became part of the war effort. OSU trustees named the school's airport after Don Scott.
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Friedrich Nietzsche
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
People know you for what you've done, not for what you plan to do.
Author Unknown
Football and flying aren't something we'd usually think about in the same context, but in this case, put together, they made a hero out of this young man. I can only imagine that the things he might have planned for his life didn't turn out the way he thought they would.
We can all make the best of plans, but we never quite know just how they might turn out. I've learned to go with the flow and to be very flexible. It's always nice when something works out just right, but then it's not the end of the world if it doesn't.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
You don’t even miss a beat when gratitude to God is the beat of your heart.
Anne Voskamp
I have counted at least 3 things I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
998. for plans that work
999. for goals to work towards
1000. for these beautiful fall days we've been enjoying
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Some people are making such thorough plans for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.
William Feather
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

It is good to go with the flow when plans don't work out, Ma, indeed. Sometimes the flow is actually better than the original planning :)

We've been having some beautiful weather here and I can't stay inside. They're so much we need to get done on the outside and I'm getting there. Lol. Take care. Jean
