Every day last week, our 3 teenagers willingly turned off their Ipods to spend 3 1/2 hrs./evening sharing the Love of Jesus to over 100 active little kids at Vacation Bible School!

he has a blue tag (his platoon color) on his back, and with the help of a magnifying glass,

Tyler called Saturday afternoon. He is doing OK, and he sounded good. He is 1/3 of the way through, and anxious to get the rest of it behind him. The pictures are from the Facebook page for "Charlie Company 2-47 Infantry". He is one of 220 SIT's (soldiers in training) in that company. I do know that his team is blue, so that narrows it down to about 50. The first two pictures we are 99% sure are him, the other two may or may not be him.
week 1 - tall guy front and center
week 3 front and center again
week 2 the one on the upper right may or may not be him
Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yourshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
