The purpose of my web log is to be a connection to my children, extended family and friends. However, all are welcome! Verse of the year: Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

| News From the Boys! |
Jacob thinks he will be state-side in April!!! That is so good to hear! He's hard at work in a new location than where he's been most of his deployment. In fact, he's at the same base that Keith was at while he was there. Unfortunately (fortunately...?) Keith is back home now. Left just before Jacob was stationed there. We are still deep in prayer for Jacob as he is moved from a successfully secured area into an area that's not so secure. God keep him safe and successful.
Jonny has written us several times. Of course, Jonny can tell us more about what he's doing than Jacob can. Jonny, you know, is at the Naval Boot Camp. He wrote that "Camp is GREAT!! We sleep in tents, swim in the lake on hot sunny days and eat smores at night while we sing by the camp fire!"
Then he went on to describe how it really goes. Long days of physical training, classes, eating then sleeping - lights out at 10 pm. They wake at quarter to five (they call that "O Four Forty Five" 04:45), and start it all over again.
He said it goes like this:
Learn to clean
Lern to run hard
Learn to shut up
Learn to pay attention to detail
and most importantly,
Learn to calm down.
Something I know about Jonny makes me get a visual picture of what he's doing there. Jonny counts EVERYTHING. I mean EVERYTHING. I can just see him standing there at attenetion fingers by his side, tappling his leg with his thumb, "one", index finger, "two"... all the way to the upper 40's as he counts how many times his angry drill sergaent says the "f" word during this particular conversation. he he... Oh, Lord... give him grace and endurance.Labels: Jacob, Jonny |
