Dear Friends,
Another letter from Paul yesterday... he's counting the days until graduation in late May ....48 as of his writing! He sounded good and is doing everything to cross that "finish line" and graduate with his unit.
He said they were issued their bulletproof vests last week and now have to wear them all the time. That wouldn't be so bad if they didn't weigh about 25 pounds because of all the kevlar (sp?) and ceramic in them....but this is training, right??!! He said he is much stronger now than when he left a month ago, and I'm thankful that they issue them to all the soldiers ... just in case. Protection... just in case.
But you, friends, provide the best protection with your prayers! James 5:16 is one of my favorite verses: "The prayer of a righteous man (woman) is powerful and effective." So keep praying, not only for Paul, but for all our soldiers, and policemen, and firemen, and all those who put their lives on the line daily to protect the freedom, comfort and protection we all enjoy.
Have a blessed day, and be a blessing to someone who crosses your path today! Love, Cyndi
Cyndi, I've been out of touch so much the last few months that i didn't even know Paul had joined the Army. He and the whole family have been added to my prayer list. I know you must be so proud of your boy. I'll get a card in the mail to him right away.
