I'm certainly not saying retreat... I'm saying step back from the lines....
to where? As you suggest... back to the Fort, the stronghold, the brethren
for healing, renewing, infusion of power... to get back on the lines.
We're saying the same thing, just from a different angle.
Parson.

Subject: RE: [RR] Burn Out
I have been arround for awhile and I have come to learn that when I get
start to get tired or fell that I am starting to get worn down it is time to
get spiritually renewed. I bunch of men together arround talking about God
and Praising his name. Be it Ranger Camp when we are in Full Swing or at a
men's Retreat orr just a Saturday Mens Devotional. (Which is hard to attend
when there are ranger events almost every weekend,) I can not say anything
about NTC, BSTC, Ect. However when I was a Ranger Boy and went to JLTC. It
helped me through my Senior Year. I relied more on God than myself. I
prasie God for My Hero's Mike Junkermeierand Sherman Gregory. How helped me
to go to JLTC in Southern California in 83. They talked to my mom about
investing for the future. They knew that I was going into the Navy and
needed the Batteries FULLY Charged before boot camp. I went to LTC that
year and also joined FCF and went to Natioonal in 84 in Hungry Hourse MT. I
will say we need !
to get charged up. We need the fellowship of others. For where two or
three come together in my name there am I with them. Mt 18:20. We need to
seek God with the fellowship of the saints. We need to encourage each
other. (this is one of the reasons for Rangernet. To encourage each
other.) Remember Iron Sharpens Iron.
I know that there is more to say but I am going to take a break so I can do
some studing on my course.

* I can see where we *appear to disagree... it's in the definition of the
word burnout... Giving up is not burnout. Giving up is a worldy trait that
leads to lazyness and apathy when taken to the extreme.. showing a total
lack of faith in God's abilities to make miracles happen. That's different
than my definition... My definition of burn out has nothing to do with
giving up, it has to do with exhaustion coupled with frustration and at
times, phsyical illness caused from the stress of continually doing battle
call it "battle fatigue" if you will)... As Christians, we are all called
to rely upon God, but none of us are superhuman.... despite our faith. God
created us and he fully understands that. He wants us to rely on him, but
also to rely on the strength of each other when we're not 'in form' due to
the stresses we face on the front lines.
I restate... "even the toughest soldiers have to leave the front line now
and again." Those that don't fall down from exhaustion and physical and
emotional weakness. What makes a Christian Soldier any different?
