Boot Camp?

Well...here goes our first launch out into blog land...

I can remember sitting at candidate conference and hearing a quote from a former marine likening the field personnel orientation to spiritual boot camp. He went on to share how the purpose of boot camp is to strip away all pride to prepare you to be a team player.

I can honestly say that has been true in our lives as well. We are now finishing up week 2 but it only took a few days to realize this orientation and training was going to be anything but a walk in the park.

One of our requests coming into the orientation is that each member of the family would experience God in a unique and special way. We would appreciate your continued prayers toward that end.

The house is still for sale but there has been some increased activity in the last week. Keep praying that God will be glorified in the sell of the house and land we called "home".
