ne of my joys, and I guess talents, is cooking and baking. Lately, I have been baking bread and I just recently made fudge for my family and coworkers in my building.

I have learned over the years that cooking is an art and baking is a science. Cooking is learning to blend different flavors to bring the perfect balance of taste to the palate. However, in baking I learned that although you can be creative in what you make, there are always key ingredients and directions must be followed or the results can be devastating.

My wife taught me early on in our marriage that a cup of flour and a cup of water are not the same measurement and so I have to use the correct tools.

I learned when making fudge that you have to be precise in the heating and cooling process and when you add certain ingredients. And most recently, I learned the difference between using all purpose flour versus bread flour for my bread. Though they both turned out great, the bread flour brought a better dynamic to it.

The same is true for our faith.

There are artistic differences that we must learn to blend

together in our churches that can create different ministries meeting various tastes and needs. However, our faith also requires key ingredients that must be present in our lives and our churches.

I am currently preaching out of Galatians in chapel. I called the series, “Ground Zero.” There are core ingreCHAPLAIN'S dients we must CORNER have in our lives and communities of faith. (There are also things we must leave out as well).

One key ingreNAS Key West dient is faith.

Command Chaplain Paul clearly Lt. states that we Ethan Everts are justified by faith, not works.

There is nothing we have done or will do that makes us worthy of salvation. That came through Jesus.

I know in my faith walk, there were times I felt the need to justify myself after stumbling.

However, there was nothing I could do to make myself more holy before God. Only God could do that. And so I have learned to allow the Spirit to direct me in what I need to correct, not what I think I must do to make up for my failures.

This does not mean we are not accountable for our actions or we have a license to sin. Paul is very clear in Gal. 5 of what are the ways of the flesh versus the ways of the Spirit. As a result, another key ingredient is not only avoiding sin, but living a fruitful life in God. How we do this is not by hiding in a cave on the side of the mountain. It is living out the fruit of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are interconnected - that is why they are called the fruit not the fruits.

You cannot have one without the others.

We must learn to live a life that follows these key ingredients. I know there are many more one can talk about; however, most would come back to these two ingredients: Faith and the fruit of the Spirit. We are not meant to just make it to heaven. We are supposed to live life abundantly in Christ. These are key things to follow to do so.

If you would like to join us for this series, come to the Truman Chapel on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

If you need chaplain care, please call us at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 292-8788 Coast Guard. God Bless!

hile many will spend the spend the weekend and Memorial Day at cookouts, the beach and checking out sales at the mall, four veterans are already attempting to scale the tallest mountain in North America in an effort to bring awareness back to what the holiday really means.

Josh Jespersen, Margaux Mange, Nick Colgin and Brian McPherson all served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The group is on what they call Mission Memorial Day - and effort to transition Americans away from retail and back to remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

“We want Memorial Day to be Memorial Day again instead of mattress sales and spring fashion shows,” Jespersen, a

former Navy SEAL and the expedition’s leader, said while training in Colorado. “We want people who were lost to actually be remembered on Memorial Day. We feel like the meaning has gotten lost, and we’d like to get it back.”

The former service members are at Alaska’s Denali National Park, attempting to reach the summit of Mount McKinley.

At 20,237 feet above sea level, it’s the tallest peak in North

America.

They won’t be alone. The group is carrying two American flags covered with names of military members who have been lost in war. One flag has nearly 80 names on it, while the other is covered in the names of every Navy SEAL killed since 9/11.

BBC offers tips for service members on the move From Balfour Beatty Communities

D

id you know that May is the busiest season for relocation and has been recognized as National Moving Month?

For the military, it is also known as the start of PCS season. As the privatized military housing partner for NAS Key West, Balfour Beatty Communities would like to take a moment to share some moving tips and offer support to prospective residents planning to make NAS Key West their new home and current residents relocating to a new military installation.

Whether arriving or departing, we understand that an organized move is ideal. Below are tips to help you plan a stress-free move.

The essentials - don’t forget to update your driver’s license and change your address and share your new address with friends and family, post office, utility companies, insurance companies, banks and financial institutions, creditors, health providers, schools, subscriptions, travel/auto clubs, and other organiza-

tions.

Are you moving with children? Keep your children in the loop and talk openly about the move. Filling your children in on the big change sooner rather than later will give them extra time to process. Be available to talk and let them express their concerns openly. A writing journal may also give them the opportunity to write down favorite memories and jot down their thoughts and feelings.

Explore the area as a family. Spending time to research the area to see what fun things there are to do in your new town can build excitement for your new home and community.

Find local groups online to learn more about activities and events in the area, like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/naskeywesthomes.

There are plenty of ways to plan for a sustainable move like condensing and simplifying belongings by hosting a yard sale or donating; saving newspapers and coupon flyers for packing materials; and visiting local stores to stock up on excess boxes that may otherwise

be discarded.

If you are moving with pets, be sure to research state/province leash laws, pet ordinances, and pet licensing requirements applicable to your new location and check in with your new leasing community office regarding pet policies.

Reach out to your current vet for a copy of your pet’s medical records as well as any travel advice or vet recommendations in your new area. They may also offer some tricks to lessen the stress caused by traveling.

If you are moving to NAS Key West, give our community management office a call to explore all available housing options open to you and your family at Our resident specialists are on-hand to share local community information to assist your family in getting settled.

If you are a current Balfour Beatty Communities resident planning on relocating to another BBC military property, be sure to inquire about our PCS Rewards Program. f you choose to reside with us at your new location, you will be able to take advantage of the following benefits: Fast and easy relocation

comes to mountain climbing, anything goes.

“With these mountains and high altitudes, the summit day is never set in stone. We’re trying to make it on the 25th, but if we have a weather window before, we have to take it, and weather may push us back,” Jespersen said.

The former SEAL said the average time for climb-

ers to reach the summit is 12 days. This particular group has done “a bunch of 14-ers,” as Jespersen said, referring to 14,000-foot taining climbs the team has made in preparation for the big climb..

Follow the Memorial Day conversation at #HonorThem. Read more about their journey at MissionMemorialDay.com.

- our staff will assist you with the move coordination between locations.

Hassle free search - avoid the stress by staying with what you already know.

Incentive reward repeat residents who leave a Balfour Beatty Communities location and move to a new Balfour Beatty Communities location where they sign a lease will receive a $100 reward.

FRC takes command at annual games’ challenge From NAS Key West Public Affairs

N

aval Air Station Key West’s Fleet Readiness Center Southeast conquered their competitors in serious - and silly - games to claim the trophy at 2015 Armed Forces Day Command Challenge.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation once again organized the annual event in observance of Armed Forces Day, which was Saturday. An estimated 300 service members repre-

senting a dozen departments and tenants of NAS Key West participated in the event at Truman Annex.

Some games were standard team competition - tug-of-war, beach volleyball, golf scramble, for example.

Other games, however, weren’t typical of the military challenge repertoire: Hungry, hungry human, hopball hockey and squirt gun bullseye.

The final competition - team spirit challenge - was judged by eight Miami Dolphins cheerleaders contracted by MWR to perform at the event. Also

brought on board for the event were Washington Redskins football players Darrel Young and Niles Paul, who met with military members and their families.

Sponsors supporting the event were the University of Phoenix, USAA, Saint Leo University, Columbia Southern University, Waste Management, Fury Water Adventures, Sparkling Ice, Military Affairs Committee, Balfour Beatty Communities and Navy League Key West Council.
