Kenny Got Saved!

-


They're baaaacccckkkk! Jared, Brian, Jeff and Dean of our favorite band "Kenny Got Saved" will be returning to lead worship for us on Feburary 12th. I cannot tell you how excited I am to have these guys back. In case you didn't know they volunteer their time to us. As soldiers service to our country is a given, but many times we forget about the support we get in doing our job. These guys give up their time and their talents to come and lead us in some of the best music you'll hear. They are in the process of finishing their first CD and I can't wait to hear it. You can link to their web page on my links section and find out more about them. They are musicains but they are also family guys. They bring thier wives and kids to service with them. Jared hasn't been caught yet, but I have a feeling his days are numbered. They also love Jesus. They give this minsitry to us and the treasures they are storing up are incomaparble to all the riches this earth has to offer. So thanks again to them! If you are in the FT Jackson area on the 12th of Feburary or the 28th stop in and see. Jesus said those words "Come and See!" There will be about 500 soldiers there and it'll be a time of worship and fellowship that won't be the same without you.

One year out- Remembering Dale Beatty

I looked down the hallway at Walter Reed Hospital and saw a Veteran in his late 30s being pushed in a wheel chair. At first, it was just a normal sight at Walter Reed to see someone missing legs, but then I noticed a familiar crooked grin and a familiar hat atop his head. The hat read, Purple Heart Homes and the smile meant that it was my friend Dale Beatty. He didn't recognize me in my Army uniform and clean shaven. I looked down at him as we both waited for an elevator and I said sarcastically, "Hey son, what do you know about Purple Heart Homes?" He looked up at me and said, "I'm the co-founder and we do critical home repair for disabled Veterans!" The excitement in his voice was contagious. I smiled back and said, "I know you Dale" Then the reunion began as we rode up in the elevator and for the next 2 hours we continued in conversation, Dale, his wife Belinda and me....just reconnecting. As I was leaving that day, Dale gave me a coin

I get to meet and make friends with some hilarious people in the Army. Many could have sob stories that are truly legitimate then others just seem to make the best of things and their situations. My friend Mark was out of the Army in the Individual Ready Reserve for over 12 years. That means he was out, like not ever putting on a uniform. He had a great job, a great wife and a gaggle of kids. But in December he gets a letter in the mail saying, "Welcome back! And oh by the way its involuntary, you are going to Iraq" (my paraphrase). Instead of ducking the mission, instead of griping and complaining, Mark chooses to laugh and make others laugh. I thank God for him and others like him in these trying times. I hope you will as well! Enjoy....by the way, its really hot in Kuwait in case you were wondering!
