Aircraft overhead include two four-plane formations of Grumman S2F-1/-2 Trackers and three Sikorsky HSS-1 Seabat helicopters from the Valley Forge air group, plus one shore-based Lockheed P2V Neptune.
To be like Jesus Christ in relationship to your wife is an enormous order to fill. You are to be the head of your home, including your wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. When you fail, you not only fail your wife, you also fail to represent your Lord’s love for His church. That is why your task is such a solemn one. When you fail to reflect Him in your marriage, you damage His name. You are called to show forth Jesus Christ by the leadership that you exercise in your home. - Jay Adams
How deep the tenderness that yearns
Within the silent wood that turns
From green to gold, and slowly burns
As by some inward fire!
How dear the sense that all things wild
Have been at last by love beguiled
To join one chorus, reconciled....

The Task
7 May 2015
Langston & Tasker, Steeple Claydon Y234 NLK
ex Metroline VPL234
London Road, Buckingham
Royal Latin school service
Langston & Tasker bought 7 of these ex Metroline Presidents for Royal Latin school work, VPL144/146/169/???/194/196/234 which carry the fleet numbers 5 to 11. Five were seen in fifteen minutes leaving Royal Latin, plus the two Olympians and three coaches. Just a shame they are completely plain white.

Giant Golden Orb Weaver - Nephila pilipes
A male of the species Nephila pilipes assesses the task ahead as he moves closer in an attempt to court the sizable female.
As I watched his progress, he began his show to try and impress the female. Initially everything seemed to be going well.
But, within seconds, the female launched herself towards the male, sending him scampering back to the outer realms of her web. A lucky escape.
