From Mr E and family at Ramstein Air Base and Landsthul, Germany.
Philippians 4 - 8,9
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
