If you haven't read the previous comment by my buddy, click on it in the prior post comments and read about Habakkuk. Habakkuk was a favorite of my grandmother's when she was alive. The words in the book always spoke to her and for some reason it's one of those things I remember. Anyway, it's a good booster for anyone, despite your situation or lack there of. I will contend one thing though. The National Guard could actually make even God get up on the Sabbath to wonder what they're thinking!
Thanks Scotty.
"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

I think the book of psalms was written about people dealing with the National Guard.
It's time for me to 'fess up!
1) I have been lurking on this blog while a buddy of mine was an ETT over there as well, and your updates have always been informative, entertaining and thought-provoking.
2) I have had a Habakkuk week and thought I was the only one, until I was reminded of your friend's useful insight.
So thanks, and thanks again!
