I'll post again to try and make up for lost time. I wanted to show this photo to demonstrate how we are suffering for the Lord here at Ft. Jackson. As you may have read in Chaplain Ken's blog, we took the APFT or the Army Physical Fitness Test on Friday and I did about what I expected to do, more or less
Push-ups - 52
Sit-ups - 57
2-mile run - 14:27
The only frustrating part is that I am being graded as a 31 year old. If we would have taken the test after June 16th, my score would have automatically been several points better based on my age. But my goal of easily passing my first APFT was met and for that I am truly grateful to the Lord.
I ask for you prayers for my wife and children as they are having technical issues with the home computer which keeps me from being able to see them on the web cam. My son and I have been making it a habit to pray every time we use the web cam and it makes me feel not so far away. I also love hearing my sweet little daughter say "Hi, Daddy" and "I lub you" over and over. And then, of course, my wife and I don't have to say much because I just like looking at her. She's pretty easy on the eyes. Like most of the guys here at CH-BOLC, I know I "married up". Don't forget to leave comments. I love everybody's feedback.

The prayers worked! We are back online. By the way, I am the one that married up! (to a humble man at that)
I Love and Miss You!

I like the picture of the TV. The one at home will seem awfully small when Ken comes back home. Spending a couple of days with your wife and kids was really fun. I think the boys loved it. I think the "spankster" (my new name for spankie) was ready for us to leave. Have a great week, Andrea
Wow, I just found a comment thingy--who knew! Now I don't know what to comment on--except we miss you and anxiously await a new entry. Let me know how you are doing. Love you, Mom
Saw your dad Saturday. We are praying for you. I sent Teresa your blog address and email address.
God Bless you.
