[…]The boys are having a blast; dads, too. The sun feels good. Later that day, Brian and his new friends hang out, fish, and enjoy their afternoon. They have made some friends with the SC volunteer staff. Steve, Audley (a grandfather there with his grandson), Doug, myself and Ryan (SC guide) take a quick trip and climb up to Ptarmigan Lake, which is about 13,000 feet or so. We arrived at the top just as a storm blew in, temperatures dropped, and we witnessed some incredible cloud activity. Audley is inspiring, sets a fast pace. Awesome lake, crystal clear, cold […]
[…]age 23, to be with Him. Jon’s tragic death was certainly a horrible loss to his family and friends and to the Army and his country, for which he held so much potential. We may never know what Jon could have accomplished in an earthly sense. But we do know what he has accomplished in a spiritual sense. Jonathan Cameron Shine serves as a life-altering inspiration and motivation to live for Jesus Christ and serve others selflessly and sacrificially. Jon, I’m sure, would not want us to focus on him. He would much rather we focus on the Lord, giving […]

[…]action in Iraq, leaving behind a grieving wife, their baby, and other heartbroken relatives and friends. Despite her faith, and the support of family and community friends, Diana’s wounds—pain, anger, denial, and fear for her son’s young family—are profound, constant companions she will likely carry with her until her dying day. Death—and the separation that ensues because of it—is the curse of Adam’s sin. For Diana and her family—and countless families throughout the ages who have lost loved ones, particularly in combat situations—you can’t help but wonder, can any good come from such an unspeakable tragedy? However, it is in […]
[…]Gospel, Jesus tells us, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” That illustrates service before self for all time. We pledge to lay down our lives for our friends, our nation. That’s what we do. In addition, according to Paul in his epistle to the church at Ephesus, chapter 6, verse 7, “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.” Yes, excellence in all we do-giving our all to each task toward performing to the absolute best of our abilities. By applying these values, as laid down for […]

[…]holiness. We have everything mapped out-our lives, our futures, those really annoying people, our friends, our school, and our God. We are so wrong. Yes, we know God personally, but we could never comprehend every facet of His personality nor know Him in the way that He knows us. There are still cool and different little rooms in every building here that I never knew existed, and it makes USAFA more exciting when I stumble across them. When I discover a true gifting in one of my friends that I didn’t know was there, it makes me happy! How much […]
[…]will be your shield and rampart. When we received the very sad news that one of his closest friends was killed, we were overcome more by compassion–rather than fear–for the new widow, and for Darren. Although we were thankful the call we received wasn’t about Darren, we grieved. Don went to Dover Air Force Base for the repatriation of the remains, and we attended the memorial service, and the funeral at Arlington. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys […]
[…]or Afghanistan. Your family will again settle in a new set of quarters, kids will anticipate new friends and a new school, and wives will be searching for Christian fellowship. Some of you newly commissioned members are, or soon will be, beginning your marriage. Other members are, or soon will be, assuming increasing levels of responsibility in new assignments. For single members, new challenges and assignments may seem even more difficult. Without a built-in family support system that travels with you, you not only have the challenges of military life, but you may have to find a whole new set […]
