Recently on a Friday afternoon I texted Joseph, who would be graduating the next week and shipping out from Camp Johnson. It would be his last night with us. He was able to come out so I went to Camp Johnson at 1830 that night. Joseph met me at the barracks as usual. As we were leaving I ran into Ryan, a Marine I had met at Reconnect afternoon meetings on Wednesdays. He asked if he could come out. I said, if you are allowed, sure. He ran inside, changed out of his Cammie’s and came back down 5 minutes later, with Abraham, another Marine. Excited, I brought back three when I went out for just one Marine!

Fast forward to 2130, and I am dropping off the three, and spent a little time counseling Ryan on his walk with Christ. After dropping off the men, I am walking out of the barracks and run into Keaton, another young Marine I met at Reconnect. He wants to come out to the center as well. GOD IS GOOD!

Joseph graduated from GSS (Ground Supply School) on July 19 and shipped back to Paris Island to work Ground Supply there for the next four years. I attended his graduation and was not surprised that he won the Motivator Award from his class.

For many of our supporters it will be the first time Patty and I get to meet you! Pastors, please mark this time and bring as many as you wish from your congregation. We can reserve tables for your church. Cost for the dinner is $22 per person.
