Last week, I had to attend Chaplaincy Annual Sustainment Training in Garmisch, Germany. As with most army training of this nature, the actual training was less than exciting. There were a couple of bright points. A couple of friends I went through the Chaplain's basic course with were there. Brian (left side) managed to get a coin from the Chief of Chaplains for his karyoke rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." That song takes on a whole new deminsion when an Orthodox priest is calling for the crowd to stand up and dance with him.
Our Small Group Leader from the basic course also was at the training. He's now on a garrison chaplain's staff in Germany. I've not met another senior chaplain for whom I have half as much respect. He's very much the epitome of what a chaplain should be. Dinner with these guys was the highlight of the week.
Isaac's birthday was this weekend, which was funny. Emily said he was horrified this morning when he came into the living room and his slide was gone. Apparently he sat in the middle of the rug and cried until Emily realized what he was looking for and told him it was in the play room.

Aren't you glad, now, that the funding didn't fall through? Thanks for the pictures! Those babies brought a ray of sunshine to a rather gloomy (weather) day here in Lawrence County, TN today. Love y'all & miss y'all bunches!!!!
