Thanks to Dave's class!

Many thanks go our to my home away from home at Dave Moss’s Sunday School class. For those of you among that group thank you for your continued support of me and my family. This picture was taken as I spoke a few Sunday’s ago. As you can see it’s a raucous group of believers. I expect the thing I love about these folks is their genuine concern every time I see them. I always shocked at the level of care they give each other. With Tammy just getting out of the hospital we have received phone calls, food, firewood and more care than we could possibly imagine. Out of this group there are missionaries, moms, students, national speakers, firemen, business men and just plain good folks. Thank you again to everyone. You are all in my prayers! You can check out the website for their church at http://www.westernavenue.org/
If you are in the Statesville NC, area go by and check them out. Watch out for the guy in the front row with the striped shirt. I hear he’s been known to partake in “forgggery (pronounced with a hard g) and yooterring”!

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!
