Camp Fires And Long Days...

Yeah, I'm Playing Golf...In IRock.

The Sacred Campfire...Where Work Discussions Are Outlawed

Gift From My Family...The World's Longest Cigar...Seriously

Dear Friends,

Life continues to chug along here. I am faced daily with the challenge of living in the present rather than looking forward to future events...namely mid-tour leave. Sometimes it is difficult to remember of how great of an opportunity I have here...to grow personally, to make close friendships, and to share Jesus with those around me. I am over 1/3 finished with my deployment, and time just seems to continue to move faster. Ultimately I find myself incredibly blessed with a great team in Able Company. God has His hand here.

Other news? Hmmm...I have gradually come up with a list of favorite leisure activities to do while not engaged in work. If you are curious, they are as follows in no particular order:

(1) Working Out: The routine of starting everyday out with this is incredible.
(2) Reading the Bible: Try a day with it, then without...I find myself never wanting to miss my daily "feeding".
(3) Guitar: "Music heals the heart"...some famous dude said that.
(4) Campfires: Makes you feel like you're home.
(5) Yo-Yo'ing: Because there's nothing else to spend your money on :)
(6) Juggling: A skill that is useful in some many situation.
(7) Sleeping: I'll get to waste about a 1/4 of my deployment doing this.

So yeah...you all rock...I'll write again soon whenever something interesting enough presents itself. Bye!
