Fear and the Military Life Part 1

Posted in Christian Life, and Military Life

D knew he wanted to be a Marine from the time I first met him in junior high.  He always talked about his dream of being a Marine.  He went and visited the recruiter several times while we were in high school.  A couple of his buddies went with him, but he was the only one that actually followed through with it.  Can I handle being married to a Marine and all that entails??? Fast forward a few years to when we get married, and it’s time for us to leave family and friends as we head to our first…

Bible in 90 Days: Day 32 Check-In

Posted in Christian Life

I am up to date on my reading, but man, I struggled to get through some of the reading this week.  I have a difficult time reading through all of the names even though I know how important lineage is in the Bible.  I also had a hard time with Chronicles due to the fact of there being a good bit of repeated material from the books that we just read.  (Just being honest.)  Munchkin is doing her reading each evening.  She wasn’t as excited about most of the reading this past week.  She looks forward to moving on to…

This week, I was able to stay on top of the reading.  There were a few nights where I really struggled to get the reading done because I was just so tired.  Some other nights, I found myself reading more than was scheduled. Munchkin continues to do her reading each evening.  Since she started a few days before me, she is ahead of schedule.  She thinks some of the passages are quite gruesome, and she’s absolutely right.  The Bible is point blank about many topics including the horrors of war, and the gruesome act of sacrifices. I always enjoy reading…
