A light CH-BOLC weekend

It's 6:30AM. Nice to be waking up LATE for a change. Feeling tired but with little on the agenda today, I can grab a nap in the afternoon if necessary.

I'll be off to observe a Muslim service at 8. After that either a Catholic service or protestant contemporary (which would be closest to Solid Rock). We've got to do 9 of these observations while we're here. I want to get them all out of the way ASAP. (did 3 last week, so I'm ahead of schedule).

Yesterday I churned out a 3 page paper on the professional ethic of an Army officer. It's due Friday, but again, wanted to get it done so I wouldn't be freaking out this week.

At PT yesterday, we did something where we ran (hard) for 30 seconds and walked for 30 seconds. We did this for about 1/2 an hour. Thought it would be easy, but I was completly torched by the end. Had to ice my knee yesterday. Still hurts this morning. Signs of being 40.

Talked to the family using Skype yesterday. What a howl. This will make the time away soooooooooooo much easier. As Nathanael saw me he kept yelling "daddy, daddy". How cool is that?

Most of the leadership of the Chaplain program are evangelical Christians as far as I can tell. They make it clear who they serve (that would be Jesus for the slow to understand crowd). I realize that some folks think you need to check your Lord in at the door if you want to be a chaplain in the Army. That does not seem to be the case. Only time will tell.

Gotta run and get ready for the day!
