  • R&R Over and Done

    So my brother is on his way back to Iraq and our household is quiet again.  We got to spend a quantity of quality time together and he got to spend the same with his daughters.  This visit back in the states was the best yet for him and the family as well.  We had lunch yesterday before I took him to the airport and now my heart is sad that he is gone but I am relieved he is headed back to work.


     


    The best thing about this visit is that he did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it.  This may not sound like much but it really is.  He finished his motorcycle training class, got his license and rode his bike straight and sober.  Again, this may not sound like anything substantial but for Johnny, it says a lot.  Being in Iraq for 18 months has given him a chance to do some major growing.  He went to church with us both Sundays he was here and even put some money in the collection plate on his own with no coaxing whatsoever.


     


    God really has his heart and the two daughters he has state side have made a difference in his life.  I am so glad to be of service to him while he is serving our country by supporting the troops in Iraq.


     


    Nuff said.

    That’s a very big thing!  Good for him.  I have people in my life that still don’t understand the principle behind that.  I so glad you all had fun.
