What Works for New Officers?

by LTC J. Randy Carey, USA (Ret.) > PDF format 1. Seek FELLOWSHIP with other Christians. Without fellowship you become a lone ranger and are in danger of becoming extinct. Your light will go out.

Ten months later we were married—and two days later driving to Rob’s next Coast Guard duty station in Homer, Alaska.   We were as committed to a Christ-centered marriage as any couple could be.
