Tides and Storm Surges

As of today, we are still gearing up for another aerial search. We've been in contact with an oceanographer and weather guru, and just a regular man who knows his tides!!! As of tonight, the thought is the best time to fly the shorelines would be early Thursday. We are going to try to get that scheduled. It seems so far off to us as we just want Joe to be brought home asap! But, God is still in control and knows the timing better than we do.
Lots of info coming in and hoping we can get somewhere with our new contacts.

Our Story

On October 28, 2009, a T-34C Turbomentor plane carrying Lt. John Joseph Houston and Lt. Bret Travis Miller went missing not far from the Naval Air Station of Corpus Christi, Tx. On Friday evening, the body of Bret Miller was discovered 11 miles northeast of Port Aransas, Tx.

A grueling 3 weeks later, after many land, air, and sea searches, the body of our friend, Lt. Joe Houston, was discovered within the wreckage itself, just a few miles from the coast of Matagorda Island. He leaves here on earth a beloved fiancee, a beautiful son, two incredible parents, a brother and sister-in-law. He truly was a young man after the Lord's heart and we are confident that his residence is with the Father in Heaven.

Please continue to pray for the Miller family and the Houston family as they deal with these devastating losses.

Our hope is in Christ!

THE TRUTH

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Does that include you?

For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
What does our sin cost us?

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
What does that verse say Christ did for you?

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:9, 13
What would you need to do to be saved? Is there anything that would keep you from receiving Jesus as Savior today?

Prayer
Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe you came to die on the cross for me and rose from the dead. Please forgive my sins and give me eternal life. I now turn from my sins and ask you to come into my life as Lord and Savior. Thank you for dying for me and saving me. Amen.

BE THOU MY VISION

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
