Leadership and the Christian Officer

[…]possible, and should do this with Christian faith and conduct. Lieutenant General William K. Harrison Jr. Lieutenant General William K. Harrison Jr., retired in 1956, after forty-four years in the Army. In 1944-45, he served as Assistant Division Commander of the 30th Infantry Division, which noted historian S.L.A. Marshall rated as the best division in the European Theater during World War II. Later, he was Chief U.N. Negotiator at Panmunjom, Korea, and subsequently served as Commander-in-Chief of the Caribbean Command. General Harrison served as president of Officers’ Christian Fellowship from 1954 to 1972, and as president emeritus until his death […]

The Five Myths of Mortgaged Rental Property

[…]month You may plan for a tenant to cover all of your expenses, but it’s a guarantee that your house will be unoccupied at some point. If a house sits empty for just a few months every couple of years, you could still be left with a big loss.   The how-to of responsiblereal estate investing   Unless you can make a large enough down payment and extra principle payments to be debt free within five-to-seven years, don’t buy anything.  Pay off your principle as fast as possible.  Get a fifteen-year mortgage—the rates are better. If you can’t afford that, […]

Therefore We Will Not Fear

[…]had begun so quickly, was over just as quickly. We checked to see that everyone was all right. The houses on both sides of us had direct hits, and the house that we were in was damaged. But there were letters to be finished, so back upstairs we went and discovered to our joy that the enemy bombs had missed our writing room. I pulled the candle out of my shirt and lighted it. We were ready to begin where we had left off, but I had one resolve to act on before I wrote another line. Crouched in that […]

Service Separations

[…]replied, “The physical work!” If you have one of those marvelous help-out-around-the-house husbands, the extra responsibilities when he is gone can be considerable. If the budget can possibly stand it, this might be the time to hire some help, possibly on a once a week basis. You might offer to cut back in some other areas to make it possible. During one tour we were able to manage this on a bimonthly basis. It was heavenly! You may also discover ways in which you can cut back and make things easier around the house. For one thing, your entertaining will […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]loved cadets and loved sharing his faith with them. As cadets would come and go to the field house for various athletic events and team practice for track and other sports, Hank would “catch” them individually, either in the locker room or on the field house floor. He would gently but firmly inquire as to the beliefs of each cadet he would meet. Some would be annoyed and ignore Hank. Others were interested and listened to his stories. A few would even want the faith that Hank had and often would commit their lives to Christ then and there. Al […]

[…]doors of private homes; OCF’s conference centers, Maranatha Mansion at USNA, and the Fellowship House at USMA. Rita Wade now prepares for her cadet women’s Bible study, a ministry passion of hers and of others. Tom and Cheri juggle their USMA OCF baccalaureate weekend: four families lodging, making pasta salad for 500 people, hundreds of chairs set up for the spiritual commissioning ceremony, dozens of bridesmaids dressing for a wedding—and a power outage.  Bob and Kelly Plantz, Quantico. Supporting field staff is one facet of field operations director Chris Blake’s ministry of “helping others’ ministries succeed.” One of his East […]

[…]the Lord through the witness of a ‘barracks police’–a custodian–at the Gillis Field House, and make the point that none of us knows the impact of our daily witness on those around us.” A 1972 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, Barry Willey is a retired Army Colonel who retired in June of 2001 after 29 years on active duty as an infantry officer. He deployed to Granada in 1983 with the 82d Airborne Division, to Desert Shield/Storm in 1990/91 with the 24th Infantry Division, and to Haiti in 1994 with the 18th Airborne Corps. Barry is married to the […]

Laborers and Laboring as Unto the Lord

[…]hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash” (Matthew 7:26-27). All of which underlines the real heart and core of celebrating workers and their work, particularly in the greater-than eternal economy of God’s full kingdom to come, “That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and […]

[…]and select a design firm and contractor for the building of Hemingway Operations Complex, Heritage House, and Veterans Memorial and Fort Shine Lodges. Jeff ‘s public relations chair duty literally has him getting the word out about the campaign’s progress, and especially “stories of the conference centers’ impact on lives.” said Jeff. One such story involves committee co-laborer Joe with his son, John, both of whom participated in this past summer’s Over the Top, an outdoor adventure fundraiser for Spring Canyon. Joe and John’s father-son shared adventure, “a priceless experience I will forever cherish,” said Joe, was amped up several […]

Do you have a PCS sponsor—to heaven?

[…]the night before He was crucified is rock solid to us as well 2,000 years later, “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:2-3). This Savior and Lord—our “sponsor” in this life and as we PCS into the next—will one day stand to welcome and greet us at death before […]

Financial Responsibility for Children

[…]from the children as each their turn. They were amazed at how much money it cost to run a household. The house payment alone was a check like none they had ever written. They learned conservation when they saw the electric bill each month and not one of them continued to take long showers. Our lastborn worried there would be no money left for her to attend college and that had the added benefit of her beating the bushes for more scholarships than the other children had done. One of the real challenges was teaching them how to reconcile a […]

Leadership Came Naturally

[…]also physically. The month he died he had just finished supervising the construction of the second house he and Sarah built, in Charleston. The first he built in Spring Canyon practically with his own bare hands (except for specialties like electrical and plumbing etc.). His was a life of committed integrity. He was committed to his wife, Sarah, and their family, his friends, OCF, and most of all, his Lord and Savior. Our lives intertwined in many ways. Tom introduced me to my son-in-law to be, and was the best man in my daughter’s wedding. Like many others who invested […]

On The Rock

[…]who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). I think that deep down inside most of us generally have a sense of how to respond to adversity and challenging circumstances. So the question isn’t “What should I do?” but “How will I choose to respond?” Will you succumb to the demands of the event or will your response come from the foundation of your spiritual life? Jesus said that everyone who hears and acts on His words is wise. That wise one will […]

[…]most loved when I do things for him, whether that’s cooking, bringing him coffee, or keeping the house tidy. My love language is Quality Time, so spending time in activities or conversation with him is what makes me feel most loved. But because we didn’t know this about each other when we first married, our efforts at expressing love often fell short. Here’s what happened:   Jocelyn: When Rob was out at sea, my love tank felt depleted. Every time he returned, I wanted to just soak up time with him—just us. So when he wanted to go hang out […]

Starting an OCF Small Group Fellowship

[…]We often say that all it takes to start an OCF group is one person who will say, “Hey! My house, Tuesday, 7 o’clock. Bring your Bible!” Many a successful OCF group has started with just those simple words. Here are a few things, besides your valuable initiative, to consider: Before the First Meeting 1. Find a wingman. It may be your spouse or another couple if you are thinking of a home Bible study. Find a like-minded Christian co-worker for a workplace study. 2. Pray about starting a group, about who to invite, what to study, where to meet, […]

Superhero’s Faith

[…]with nerdy glasses, but sometimes I would put my “blanky” around my neck and run around the house like Superman. I loved having fun like that. But then I got older. I stopped using my imagination. I let the pressures of “maturity” form me into who “they” wanted me to become-a lifeless robot of some sort. Living a Life of Status and Popularity For years, this Clark Kent never took off his boring, brown business suit and thick glasses to show his true colors and strength. I just went through life doing what everyone else was doing, thinking it would […]

Tom Austin, Bryan Burt, and their USAFA and USCGA counterparts’ collective ministry efforts rely heavily on their faithful teams of volunteers to make ministry happens. Such “force multipliers,” as Tom calls them, are also long serving, such as Dr. R. David and Mary Ann Hampton, whose fifteen years of service includes the USMA OCF tenures of Mike Tesdahl and Barry Willey, as well as Tom. These dedicated team members of active duty and retired military and civilians-more than thirty-five at both USMA and USNA-who come alongside […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: OCF small group fellowships

[…]this past summer nearly a dozen Naval and Coast Guard officers, spouses and kids helped build a house. “There was a lot of manual labor, but just to be able to meet the gal that was going to be living there made it more meaningful,” said leader Jennifer Corbin. “It was just a neat experience to be a part of.” In the life of the active duty family, it can be easy to focus solely on service to our country, but Christ reminds us that our service to Him includes those closest to us: our shipmates, our neighbors and our […]

Walking

by C.N. Tokatloglou This was a very special house guest. She had invited both him and his students, and she was going to put before them a deluxe, “finger-lickin’ good” dinner. But somehow, the smoke from the fires and the riches of the freshly chopped onions were blinding her with tears, and she had so much more yet to do in order to have everything ready and sizzling hot at the same time. In desperation she came in to the dining room, only to find her sister by the feet of this Great Teacher, seated and drinking in every word […]
