When It Rains...
During the service Corbin looked at me and saw me crying. "Daddy, are you crying?" "Yes buddy, I am." "Why daddy?" "Well buddy, a very dear friend of mine has gone to heaven to be with Jesus and daddy's a little sad." Corbin then did the most thoughtful thing a 4-year old could do. He crawled in my lap and held me. It brings tears to my eyes even now, many hours later. This has made me question not my own mortality, but the mortality of those closest to me. It could happen in an instant. Cherish the moments in this life for they are fleeting.
God has a plan even when it seems unfair. God is still there even when we feel He is not. God is there-He never left us in the first place.

Gustav to Ike
Friday, August 29, 2008
Well, it has been a rather busy season for the Task Force (4th deployment this year) and the party is just beginning. Gustav is on its way and the predictions are showing, at the very least, a Category 3 by landfall. In addition to Gustav, Hannah is gradually building in the Atlantic and may throw us a curve-ball by making the turn in southern Florida thus making its way into the Gulf as well. So things will be pretty interesting in the days to come. I have already been placed on stand-by with TXTF-1 USAR to be mobilized Sunday morning. Though I never look forward to deployments, it is impressive, to say the least, to see the multiple agencies work in chaotic harmony to serve the general public. This is why we do what we do - to serve our fellow man. Pray for those who have already been affected by Gustav and certainly for those that will be impacted early next week. I'll do my best to keep you updated as to operations and whereabouts.
grace & peace
