Lunch With A Soldier

Today I'm proud to be having lunch with a soldier. Ronnie is from Severn River Church, but he's been deployed for about the last 6 months. It's so nice to have him around. He's home for only a few more days before he goes out again. I have heard second hand stories about the transformation that has taken place in his life. Stories of his service that would make any American proud. I also want to hear about his growth in responsibility and leadership.

It's bound to be a good time having lunch with an American soldier.

Ronnie is doing very well. I was so proud to sit with him. He is an inspiration in some ways. Especially the work that he's doing. When most people think about the military they think of War. We seldom here about units that are drilling wells, building schools, and building hospitals.

I'm doing well, and my Dad is doing better. Still not 100%, but improving. Thanks for praying.
