boston after church

tuesday, october 23, 2007, 6pm

a meeting will be held at Greater Love Tabernacle Church. The purpose of
this meeting is threefold, first to call together all senior clergy
together, second to meet with all youth pastors and youth ministers, and
third to convene about a strategy to unify and from a spiritual
perspective, combat the violence that is plaguing our city.
The conveners of this meeting are in agreement that this is the time to
come together in unity and in strength as a body of believers to address
the role of the church universal. This effort begins the process of
strengthening and rebuilding our communities. In particular, looking to
the church as the standard, as we restore our future one youth and one
family at a time.

Please note that we are trying to best accommodate you by providing dinner,
please RSVP to Minister Evans @ Greater Love Tabernacle – <

Sad Day in the Army

You know I find it really messed up that Soldiers Serve over seas for their Country but when it comes to award time these Soldiers don't receive anything. Well I do know we have the weight and height standards but if the Soldier is doing an outstanding job regardless of the requirements then I feel they need to be taking care of. If they can come here and work just like everyone else then they deserve to be awarded like everyone else. It was a shame tonight to watch a Unit leave and three of their Soldiers didn't receive an award and the sad part about it these three in my eyes were the hardest working Soldiers the Unit had.

Bored out of my Mind

Sitting here bored out of my mind today. Had to come in to work because I needed to turn my vehicle in for service which means that I will have to sit here all day doing nothing. I found my picture on here at my cousin house ans scanned it to myself but it was kind of messed up from the scanner and I was able to clear up some of the issues with it. I don't have to many pictures of me growing up so I wanted this one to be posted on my page. Looking forward to getting back home with the Grandkids and taking my a nice trip somewhere. About 16 more Days to go and I will be back in the states. Soon I wont feel like I'm in a prison camp and I can get out and go places like all free men and women should. Trying to determine now if I should by a new Truck or put more money in to the one I have now since it is payed off.

 

Time close to Leaving

Wow it is getting close to time to go home now and tempers are starting to fly high with all the bull that's going on here. People are getting upset with last minute changes that are going on. From the very beginning the Leadership here seems to always do things at the last minute and with out thinking things over. This for me is a poor planning Unit. Maybe the worst that I have been in since my Military Career has starting. This is why I no longer want to be in the Service for reasons such as this and with the Military promoting Soldier so fast they don't have the time or training to actual be Leaders. Some of these kids can't even take care of themselves no you want them to put the lives of other Family Children's in their hands. Woo this is very very scary to be part of. So where do I go from here well I don't actually know just yet. I know that I have 5 years to go to have 30 years of Service. So what direction do I go in after that. Right now I been taking classes on Criminal Justice so I been thinking about maybe something in some kind of Security. I really don't have any ideas yet but I do know it is time to start thinking about the future and weather I can manage to do 5 more years. This old body just can't seem to take it anymore time to put me out in the pastures with the cows lmao now that was funny. People are like aren't you happy yet and I tell them no because i'm not home yet. When I put that key in the Door and open it then and only then I can say I'm Happy
