Above is the little group that somehow takes 5 new songs and (tries to) makes them sound inviting, well rehearsed and spiritual every Sunday [Hello to Strings of Faith at First Pres!!]. Pastor Trimble (to my right) does an outstanding job of mentoring this eclectic minstrel group (might be a good name?) weekly. Of course, changes occur regularly with a volunteer group like this. Caleb Brown (young pilot from Texas) with the guitar in the middle has a great voice and rhythm that keeps everyone rolling. I am awed by the burdens carried by our service members and am grateful for the short refuge offered every Sunday from 9-10 am. We (the "chapel staff" arrive at 7 am just to rehearse, prepare Sacrements and have a cup of coffee (if for no other reason than to warm your hands). [Good memories that I look forward to share.]
I'm coming home in 4 weeks! The count down begins...
Love,
Christopher
dear chris,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you have Protestant service available. I hope you get hot chow again soon. They got our chow halls a couple times too. Did You know they have 3 vegetarian MRE's now?! You dont need Bangladeshians to be vegan over there. Keep your dick hard and your powder dry.
Love,
William
William, thank you for your heart felt comments. As a fellow warrior I appreciate your military humor but everyone who might read this blog might not understand it's tie to the Civil War when soldiers were fed salt peter for reasons better left unsaid. Love, Chris
