Tomorrow the last page of the April calendar falls to the floor, and May jumps up.
Why is that significant? It means the leaving time for CHBOLC is rolling closer like one of those giant snow balls. You know...the ones that start small, but then gather momentum and mass and swallow everything in its path? That seems like how the Army thing started. It started almost a year ago and seemed although significant...still yet somewhat innocuous (boy...I sure am liking big words tonight....I hope I am using them correctly). But now that the time is almost here, it seems pretty big.
God showers His grace on us, though. I still know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is God's will for us. I am looking forward to see what God does in and through our lives, too.
Well...happy May everyone.
About Me
- Ken
- I am about to be a former pastor. I am trading in my suits for ACU's and become a Chaplain in the Army. I will be going to chaplain basic training (CHOBC) in June 2007 and leaving my beautiful precious family for three months. I have been married for almost 17 years to my best friend, and we have three great kids: 14, 8, and 5 (boys on either end with a girl in the middle).

happy May to you too
Man...
I'm just trying to finish this week with about five projects to complete. Then I'll let myself think about CH-BOLC. Sorry I haven't posted more comments. See you Thursday!

Thanks!
TO 2LT
I remember the project deadlines as well!! I have been thinking of you while you have the deadlines crashing down. See you Thursday.
CH Ken,
I almost freaked out when I awoke this morning (1 May). Time has certainly flown by since our journey began as well. ONE MORE MONTH - sickening and exciting all at the same time. What was it you told me? Like trying to stand on top of a greased flag pole or something like that. 3 June is inevitable.
I like the big words by the way.

May first was a wake-up call. I am a mixture as well: I am looking forward to getting there and starting this next phase of my life, but I do not look forward to leaving my family (same song - - 42nd verse!!)
All in all, though, I am looking forward to it as I know you are.
