Who first introduced you to flying? My dad, Bruce Obermeyer, first introduced me to aviation. I grew up with it as part of my life and my dream. Dad was a decorated Air Force instructor pilot. He mainly flew the C-119, EC-47, and KC-135. And he was a combat veteran in Vietnam who received […]

Today is the National Day Of Prayer… …at least in the United States. There may be other nations that celebrate the first Thursday in May as well. I really don’t know. But with that, I wanted to share with you two surprisingly good (and short) articles about the event and prayer in general. Surprisingly good […]
Is Science against the Bible? Not necessarily…
Earth Day 2017 With all the talk about science vs. the Bible… I just wanted to pass something along to you. I thought you’d find it interesting to see a list of scientists who because of their fundamental belief that there was a Creator were driven to study science further and made the discoveries, inventions, and fields […]
