He is on his 3rd tour in Iraq right now and I am counting down the months til he comes home (hopefully in september of this year). I write to him quite a bit, handwritten and email. He knows that I love him more than anything right now.<BR/><BR/>I am a good letter-writer to military guys. I come from a military family (mostly Marines, including my husband) and support our troops whole-heartedly.<BR/><BR/>If you would like me to write to your son, I would be more than happy to. I know how they love to get mail. Let me know and I will send you my email address so you can send me his address.<BR/><BR/>I will pray for him daily as I do for Matt. God bless both of our military boys.tye-dye trinityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05827819460171350074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-31021999065979376662008-02-17T06:07:06.257-06:002008-02-17T06:07:06.257-06:00Hello.

I agree with your assessment, esp. about endurance. It's fairly easy to do anything for the short term, but the distinction comes of course with the ability to sustain courage -- or any other attribute.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.hopefulspirit.com/2008/02/17/seventh-day-eight/" REL="nofollow">The Seventh Day: Eighth Edition</A> is now live, so I hope you will stop by & pay a visit to some of the other participants' sites. There were a number of fabulous posts contributed this week!<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/><BR/>Hopeful Spirit<BR/><A HREF="http://www.hopefulspirit.com" REL="nofollow">On the Horizon</A>Hopeful Spirithttp://www.hopefulspirit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-22202404084953498852008-02-14T09:35:29.119-06:002008-02-14T09:35:29.119-06:00Great witness. <BR/><BR/>If God is for us, who can be against?Therese Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03925404067634150968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-39978246842913476282008-02-13T19:04:29.213-06:002008-02-13T19:04:29.213-06:00thank you... will have to bookmark this post.Ed G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08870533414070848501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-56119502356870001702008-02-13T09:42:59.245-06:002008-02-13T09:42:59.245-06:00Great post brother.preachermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09922837614859997243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-77773339781782813062008-02-13T08:02:40.518-06:002008-02-13T08:02:40.518-06:00I can say it no better than this:<BR/><BR/><I>You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
