It gets worse when they deploy, the ship lines are very long. Matt said some sailors are in that line every night and he thinks they have families with small children to touch base with, so he didn't do it very often. He called from ports of call.
It's also a hassle to call from some stations in Iraq.
but he's home in 6 weeks or so...
I think we can agree to not discuss religion. Being raised as a Mormon, and finding so many conflicts with that faith has made me very leery of any organized religion. I have found too many people who party on Saturday night, and then sit piously in church on Sunday condemning others for the same acts they themselves did the night before. I admire people who live their faith. I have friends, in all faiths, who can pull that off. But the only thing I find that brings me peace in a church are the joyful hymns.
I find my God around me, I trust Him everyday to help me find my way, and I pray everyday for our young people in harm's way, and that we give them the leaders they deserve, that lead and not manipulate, that have America and Americans first in their priorities as they do their jobs.
I'm sure we can find commonn ground.
I am so so sorry about your families loss. Yes, that baby is an angel in heaven and it's soul is watching over you. I had a tragedy years ago and it does not go away, but it's gets better......We know God is Good. He wraps his arm around you all with comfort and strength.
Gos Bless you. Connie
Wow, five kids? Good job , It sounds like you and your hubby have done an awesome job with them. It's not easy these days!
My husband is no longer in the navy, but when he was, he was an EM on a fast attack submarine during the cold war. He was also a diver.
How long has your son been in the Navy? My husband spent alot of time in school prior to being sent out into the fleet. I work as a Safety and Training Coordinator at a Geothermal Power plant and most of our operators are out of the Nuke program. The Navy does an awesome job training these guys, so it is advantageous for us to pick them up when they get out. I just indoctrinated two new ones last week. Your son has picked a great career path! Encourage him to stick it out, and jobs will be easy to come by when he gets out.
Our son John is in Pensacol Fla. in "A" school. He is going to be an Aircrewman Rescue Swimmer. He just got there last week. He just loves it. I am oh so proud of him! I miss him very much, but I have chosen to trust in the Lord. Isaiah 41:10 I believe every word!
On the subject of the 3 extreme Liberals, all we can do it pray for God to soften their hearts. They believe, as we do, whole heartedly in what they are saying. All we can do is put the gospel out there, in a loving way, and trust the Lord to do his great works. I am so greatful to have other Christian woman on this site, to hold one another up during good and bad times.
Thanks for the extension of friendship. I look forward to our future conversations.
May the Lord bless you and your family today and always
Your sister in Christ,
Lisa
I feel the same way about KWebb, She will jump on anyone thats for McCain. So I will just pray for her too. She seams so full of anger.
Maybe it would be a better witness for your faith to back off of telling KWebb she is filled with hate, it is just not so. She is a passionate woman with a strong will, mind and determination to do the right thing for our country.We all have different paths to the same goal, what is best for this great nation of ours.God bless you and yours too.
