Dave, I support your stance as well.  I, too, am an Eagle scout and I am ashamed of what the BSA program has become in the last decade (earned my Eagle in 2004).  If I ever have a son, I was looking forward to getting him involved in scouting, that is up until these recent events...  Now i'm not so sure.

I was starting to feel the same way about getting my pre-rangers into the real ranger school...

Honey do's:

That Jet Ranger crash was one of two things.
Most likely it was an engine failure with a loss of Rotor RPM

However seeing how fast the thing descended would also suggest a thing called "Settling with power" This phenomenon occurs with an aircraft at zero to near zero airspeed, in an out of ground effect hover, and with 20 to 100% engine power applied. Under these conditions sometimes the rotor can begin ingesting it's own rotor wash which whips around in big swirling vortexes. Where as air would normally enter the rotor system at nearly no downward speed, when the rotor starts to ingest it's own rotorwash, those down wash velocities from the swirling air can reach 100 MPH. So the aerodynamic angle of attack is obliterated and the helicopter enters into a column of rapidly air that spits the thing out at the bottom at a high rate of descent, destroying the aircraft.

Will pray for successful surgery, and no tongue divots.

Our sons godmother had dental surgery years ago, and the dentist was apparently not the best and she managed to swallow part of her tooth. The following months of sickness were undiagnosed until finally an X-ray or something found that she had part of her tooth stuck in her throat, which is what had caused ALL of the problems after the dentist. 

Thus the reason I will hold you up in prayer, you ain't got time to be dealing with tooth problems.

Truth!

You have no idea!

Well, some idea...

Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
     Isiah 40:28-31

Well I can tolerate a fair amount of pain usually but when it comes to dental pain I fold faster than kahlid sheik Mohammed being waterboarded.  I'd opt for opioids

FINALLY!

Well, that didn't work out

Tooth was all ganked up beneath the cap. So much for sealing and all that.

So I got to digging around in what was left and just kept running to more and more junk.

So I bit the bullet and drove over to my dentist's office.

Well she numbed me us and started pulling, but it felt white hot with pain.
So she numbed me again.
This time managed to break out some of it, but it was still hurting A LOT!
So she numbed me up again...Third time

Sometime later the left side of my face fell off

Oh and on the TV placed there for my enjoyment, the home and garden or whatever channel was featuring two homos buying a house together. Yea...

Some dental assistant assured me that my face was still intact, but I'm pretty sure it is on the floor somewhere.

I got them to switch to Fox news

Then we got in digging once more. It hurt a lot. Heard some breaking sounds and watched the tube running red. Heard her say, "This one is a bleeder" but it was still hurting the same.
So
She gave up!
Yup, have a referral for dental surgery
Face is still missing and I can't swallow
Everything tastes coppery, and I keep pouring water out of my mouth through the area where my left side of my lips used to be
Tonight...Not gonna be fun...

More to come

  they were sold out before I even got s chance to go by the shop today. Not really surprised.

That price was super low

It started some years ago for me. Mike a good friend of mine was so distraught about a separation and divorce he was going through that he would come to church at off times and pray over the situation. Not just pray, but cor, scream out his pain and ask for help and understanding of our king. Other men came around him and after some time this assemblage starting meeting regularly as a prayer warrior team. And over time the requests we prayed over became as wide sweeping as one could imagine. I was drawn into the thing at some point, having learned of good men and women, few in number, but coming from a large church of between one and two thousand. I quickly saw these brothers and sisters as "Real Christians," people of deed and not just word.

One night Mike shared a story about a time when in his police cruiser he was crying out to God over why the covenant of his marriage seemed to be broken and lying in ruin. He noticed at that moment a passing semi truck, none other than Covenant Transport!

What a cool way that God revealed to mike that he is indeed everywhere all the time. I started to look for the trucks and every once in a great while would spy one and immediately feel renewed in the covenant of everlasting life God had established for us through the sacrifice of the human life of his son, Jesus.

Then one day, I want to say it was in April or May of perhaps 2012, I was driving to this prayer meeting which was held at 7 PM every Tuesday. I was in my truck in a heavy rain. It was raining so hard that traffic, had slowed to maybe 30-35MPH. I was sandwiched between two semis, with a third ahead of me. Made me eel like flying trail bird in a tight diamond formation. I was praying for Mike and a good meeting with God along the way, hoping to experience a divine meeting with my creator when I looked out the right passenger window of the Chevy. Perfectly framed in that rain streaked window, not five feet away, was the Covenant Transport symbol of the truck that was sandwiching me in! -True Story!

From that point forward to just yesterday, God has used those Covenant trucks to remind me of his promise to us, and usually when I am not looking for, nor thinking about the trucks, but really just stretching out my spiritual arms toward him, or in angst for something. (Jeremiah 29:13 ►You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.)

God is SO REAL, and so in-tune with the times, that he uses semis at times to speak to his people


God's Covenant with Man
R. H. Davies, B. A.
Isaiah 42:6
I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people…

We are apt to understand that there are two covenants, respectively called the covenant of works and the covenant of grace.

1. Let us define what a covenant is. In its primary sense it signifies a mutual compact or agreement between two parties. The covenant is kept on the one side by those conditions being ratified in a full and faithful observance of them; on the other side by the conferment of the benefit upon the completion of the conditions.

2. When viewing God and man as the two parties between whom a covenant has been made, we perceive that there have been two covenants entered into; in each the benefit offered by the Father has been the same, viz., eternal life, but the terms or conditions are different.

(1) In the covenant of works, the condition to be accepted and ratified by man was single, that is, obedience to the moral law of God, which law contains within its sanctions not merely an obedience to any positive commands or implied wishes, but an inward heart-observance of a complete holiness, this complete holiness being in fact itself the law, and any deviation whatever from the prescription of a complete holiness being an infraction of the law, and consequently that flaw in the covenanted obedience on man's part, which destroys the covenant altogether, and thus, annulling it, renders it nugatory.

(2) The conditions in the covenant of grace are twofold, repentance and faith, obedience to the law constituting no part of the terms on which God will confer the promised boon, though according to this, He will regulate the degrees of glory to be known and shared in and through the heavenly immortality. For the law of God has never been repealed, and never can be; neither does the covenant of grace at all make void the law, nay, as the apostle says, "it establishes it."

3. An ordinary attention to the constitution of these two covenants will show us that there is between God and man, now (the "now" taking in the position and history of man from the fall, to the finished and ultimate recovery of redemption) but this one covenant of grace. Consider, and this partly by contrasting the two, in what this second or new covenant consists.

(1) It agrees with the first in this,

(a)  that the ultimate object is the same, viz., everlasting life for man;

(b)  that in God's part of the contract the promise attached to it is the same.

(2) It differs from the other in these respects. That a third party is introduced — the Mediator Christ Jesus, the Son of God. That on man's part the conditions are different, repentance and faith being in the stead of obedience.

4. See the vital importance of understanding the truth with respect to the two covenants. There are not two covenants. There never have been two co-existing covenants. When man broke the first, it was at an end. Morally speaking, it could not be re-instituted; because, the nature of man having become sinful, and this sinfulness a necessary entailment on all his children, it was rendered impossible for man to keep a covenant of works. And a covenant broken is no longer a covenant. God, then, in His mercy and love, instituted another covenant, the same as to intent, but differing in its conditions for man, prescribing conditions which he could observe, because of the new provision made in the Mediator Christ Jesus, by whom the law should be inviolably kept, and so a justifying righteousness procured, and by whom a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice should be made in the offering of His own spotless body for the sins of the whole world. See how this strikes at the root of all man's pride and self-dependence, and attempts at working out a self-righteousness for his justification. See, too, the surpassing consideration of God for the pour, condemned helpless, sinner. See also the wondrousforce of our text. It was to the dearly-beloved Son that God said, "I, the Lord, have called Thee in righteousness," etc. Because on Him devolved the work of rescue, because He is the Mediator, because He will ensure the final victory, because in Him the new covenant was opened, in Him established, by Him maintained, Himself is called the covenant. To reject Him is to reject the covenant; to look anywhere else for salvation, to attempt any other way to God's favour than by Him, to try any other terms than those of His Gospel, is to reject Him; and that is to reject the covenant of God and to enter into covenant with death.

One Christmas eve about zero dark thirty, I made a run to a bunch of FOB's. I cubed the aircraft out with thousands of letters like that one and so many boxes of cookies that, well we were literally cubed out. Under goggles we made a low/slow pass by each FOB, staying just ahead of the dust cloud, while the chief threw out boxes. A couple of times and with the teams I knew well enough, we "Bombed" their position with boxes of cookies.

I already had a reputation with the SF guys for doing such things.

Everyone know about the "Secret" camp outside of Bragg where they teach the POW stuff? Well it is a restricted area. I always intreperted that as meaning restricted to regular Armee guys, not to guys who graduated from that school. So often I would park my Chinook about 75 feet above the middle of that camp and churn up a local weather system of dust, all the while throwing food and cookies all over the place so the beaten and starved "Prisoners" down there could score a few.

Then they would call and complain, then some of the SF guys would show up and we'd go out to dinner or hang out...
