Today is Marine Corps History II and Terrorism Awareness training.

God help Tim to hear and apply everything in the Terrorism Awareness classes. Help Tim take advantage of this education and acquire superior leadership skills. May this experience not only give Tim the confidence, education and responsibility of an exceptional American citizen but to strengthen his walk and testimony with the Lord.

The days of summer here in the south can be brutal, but more so in the environment Tim is in now. The heat and humidity combined with equipment, physical training and stress can wreak havoc on a person. Please God, protect him.

It is 4:20 pm and the mail has yet to come. Depression is smothering me today. Lord help me. The endless tick of a slow moving clock reminds me how long you will be gone. God forbid your life's clock stops. Please Lord give me strength. Please Lord help me smile again.

It is 6:54 pm, and no letter.
