Yea, I heard that Jacuzzi rumor here in Michigan too. Man, they have it
soft out east.

Subject: [RR] GMA letters
>All,
>
>My heartfelt thanks to all of you who wrote letters of congratulations to
>Danny Cox for earning his GMA.
>The ceremony is tomorrow night and, although Danny is no longer in MY
outpost
>I have been asked to say a few words as a commander who has "impacted" his
>life.
>
>I confess I feel woefully inadequate for the assignment. The idea of having
>an impact on someone's life is a very sobering thought. I know I've spouted
>about this on the 'net in the past but to be brought face up to the idea
is,
>in many respects (to me at least) frightening.
>Someone will say, "Gary, he earned his GMA, you must've done SOMETHING
right."
>On the surface I will agree with that. But if all I/we have done is help a
>young man earn a medal, I fear we have fallen far short of God's goals for
>this ministry/program.
>I pray that whenever a Danny (or any other boy) has looked at me he has
seen
>Jesus the Servant.
>I pray that in God's building program for these lives I was and will be
>always there with the needed brick and mortar and not a wrecking ball.
>I pray that whatever of "me" they have incorporated in their value system
>will "reach them, teach them, and keep them" for the Master Ranger.
>========================================================
>
>If anyone else would like to write a short note to Danny, just send it to
my
>e-mail address. I am printing them all out and putting them in a "Book of
>Remembrance" for him.
>=========================================================
>
>One other thing, and Duane you'll probably LOVE this.
>I've just been promoted to Area Commander for the Tidewater North Section
>Northeast Area. What a title! I'm already bending over from the weight! ;-)
>All this week my four sons have been heckling me, calling me a "Staff
Weenie"
>
>"Gee Dad, no more sleeping on the ground with the reg'lar folks, huh?"
>"Dad, is it true that staff has jacuzzis?"
>
>Lord, deliver me!
>
>Seriously though, please pray that God will grant me His wisdom. We have
>several churches whose outposts have died. My vision is to impact this
>community with Holy Ghost fired Disciples of Jesus who are called Royal
>Rangers; not with some boys who can be described as "oh, you're sorta like
>Boy Scouts, huh?"
>That is NOT a slam at Scouts. That's a slam at just having a "good" program
>but not changing lives or winning souls.
>
>Ad Dare Sevire,
>Gary "Burn'n Heart" Rothwell
>Sr. Cdr.
>Outpost 59, Potomac District
>Warwick Assembly
>Hampton, VA
