Indecision

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days. ... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has Magic, Power and Genius in it. (Johann Wolfgang von Goeth, in Courage to Change, 3 September)

Begin each day with a few minutes of prayer and meditation, to build spiritual strength that will keep you uplifted throughout the day. (Colleen Zuck, et al., Daily Word For Healing, p. 176)

When I was in the Transportation Corps I was stationed at Fort Story, VA where the two Cape Henry lighthouses are located. I was company commander of the 347th Transportation Company. The company was outfited with Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARCs). Each vessel was capable of carrying five tons of cargo both on water and land. The last time I visited Fort Story there was a LARC on display near the lighthouses.

Today we are getting rain from tropical storm Hanna. It's predicted that we will experience many hours of rain with some high winds. In the past this kind of weather usually resulted in some flooding of low areas in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
