~~By Chaplain Dwight Brown~~

This year's USAF Chaplains Theme is "Unless the Lord Builds." It is taken from a passage in the Old Testament in the book of Psalms (127:1) which reads as follows: "Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." It seems to me that the point of the Captain Reynolds preparing to fire. Psalmist is quite clear. His specific Photograph by Sgt Raymond Klein reference is to the children of Israel in relation to their Temple and to theii \ Holy City Jerusalem. His message is Reynolds Wins. that all of their efforts, whether in the areas of public worship or self pro Skeet Shoot tection, are worthless if the Lord is not in them. Capt Steven K Reynolds recently won This is a tremendous theme and though the Kansas State Skeet Shooting Cham it is addressed to Israel, it has much pionship in the Military Division. Cap to say to us today by way of application tain Reynolds had a perfect score of J:ether it be our personal lives, our 100 in the 12 Gauge class, that enabled ~amilies, our vocations, our guard ac him to top the field of competitors in tivity, or whatever, there can be no Class A.
