Comments for Dying with Baggage http://douloschristou.wordpress.com Galatians 2:20 but lest, Zechariah 4:6!

Other publications, such as service-specific items and The Military Chaplain (of the Military Chaplains Association) are excellent . . . but they do not share the same scope as did MCR. Good news--a new ejournal will begin publication this fall with a vision for addressing this need. Curtana † Sword of Mercy will provide a home for preserving the history of the chaplaincy, sharing ministry experiences and insights, and discussing challenging issues of import to clergy serving in the armed forces. You can read more, and "subscribe" to the journal, at http://justwar101.com/journal/. Call for manuscripts: If you feel inspired, get to that keyboard now and draft a manuscript to be considered for publication in the inaugural issue. Since the journal will be released in September, the deadline for submissions is 31 August. Details are available online, but all genres will be considered, and 500 to 2000 words is a safe ballpark for articles. Please spread the word about the Curtana. We are especially eager to have chaplain assistants and international chaplains learn about the journal. And, although we will focus on matters of interest to the chaplaincy, everyone interested in the interplay between the military and religion will be potential readers of the publication.

I think so. While in Germany with the 349th gen hosp, usar? If so, I owe you an apology for first, not letting you know my marriage ended, and then my son and I moved to Athens, Ga. I currently live in Iceland...socialized medicine, and some health problems. Also, I am ashamed to admit that the laptop you let me borrow was stolen, I thought I would never have a chance to apologize, and try to make it right. If this is the same Khoi To, it sounds like you made your goal of the ministry a smashing success. I hope to hear from you if you remember me, and if you are the same friend I remember.

Time has gone by so fast this bright new year. Only 13 more days until Valentines day! Don't forget to open all of our valentines! My heart hurts for you and Mom on that day. Only 14 more days until Grandma and Grandpa arrive. We are all looking forward to that hour but wish you could be here with us to celebrate. Only 17 more days 'till my 13th birthday party! I wish you to be here with us. I'll send you tons of pix. Only 25 more days 'till my big day! I'll think of you most often; we all will. Only about 68 more days until you come back to our reaching arms. We're all counting down, but the big numbers seem to deepen our sadness. Keeping busy is a great way NOT to think about the sad stuff, but it also makes the nice, quiet times more painful. We miss you greatly, Dad. Kisses and Hugs, Cosette By the way, Happy February 1st!
