As of last Wednesday, Phase 2 ended with a bang! The last week has been quite a journey. The Purity Conference at Chapel Next was AWESOME! The greatest thing I came away from the conference with is the necessity of being in the Word of God. How can we expect to live pure lives outside of an intentional daily devotion to the Word of God? Wednesday was the PT Test and it was successfully completed. Hooah!
This week we have had some awesome classes, but they have definitely challenged me. From grief counseling to mass casualty to death notifications - heavy subjects - awesome responsibilities. Definitely a gut check. We closed Friday out with a Gold Star Panel of families who have lost a hero, a Soldier in the War on Terror. Friends, this is as real as it gets. Listening to their stories deeply impacted me. I thank God for their Soldier's service and pray for God's continued comfort for their supreme sacrifice! Do not forget to pray for our Soldiers, but waiting back home is a family that is measuring every minute until their hero returns home.
A busy week lies ahead. We go to Capstone this week - a whole week in the field with 100+ degree temperatures. It is going to be an awesome week with little, to no PPT. My wife will be here in 16 days, and I will be leaving Ft. Jackson in 20 days. Can I get an AMEN? Looking forward to going home to my family, friends, and church. Blessings to you all!
