Hello All, I'm back after a week's absence. My computer just couldn't take the heat and it melted down. So much new has happened with me in a week's time. My wife found a new job, I found a new Ranger outpost and a place to fit in at, a new church of where I actually know the pastor. I'm very excited because I believe that this is what the Lord has brought for my wife and I. I love my old outpost, but the concern here is for my wife's salvation. She is really bitter about God for the death of her parents and this little tactical maneuver was done so that she can receive some personal one on one type counseling with the pastor so that she can learn how to not project the blame on God for the deaths of her folks. Her mom died in '92 and her dad in '93 and she still holds onto it. The new church, I can see it's steeple from my front doorstep, so I can walk there when the car doesn't work. I got involved actively with the Ranger program there too. I walked in the door, and they already wanted me to be the SrCmdr as people around here already know me. I'm going to graciously take them up on it. God is doing some miracles around here in little old Triangle, VA like sparing it from the raging Forest fire not even a mile to our west. Though it is not exactly like what Florida is going through, it is enough to be able to relate. A county road separates the Prince William Forest Park from the Quantico Marine Corps Base and the roads have been blocked off by the State, County and Military police. Fire Depts from the County, Department of the Interior and the Marine base are digging fire breaks and squelching flare ups. The damage is over 5 miles in width. But you know What? God is STILL Good! (He will always be that way.) Triangle is spared from being toast, my new church is spared and the Lord willing the most we will have to be concerned with is the dense smoke and the Marines won't have some of their favorite foxholes to go hide in. This is what the Lord has brought! Yes, the neighbors are getting feisty about it, but I know it is under control, life is under control and under authority, In light of all the change, I find a peace in it and peace these days is pretty scarce. Praise the Lord folks! It's Sunday, but everyday is a great day to give Him Praise!
