Promotable!!
11.20.07I just got out of my Promotion Board which recommends me for Sergeant. These last few days were a lil roller coaster of sorts on my nerves. I had been so nervous just last evening, but I spent some time doing something else to keep my mind from exploding and I can’t tell how much better it feels to just walk in there with confidence. Not only do you feel more comfortable, but it plays a huge part on your performance. I have a few people I can thank for really helping me out, but first and foremost the only one who brings me the peace of mind that I have relied on countless numbers of times…
As I was driving around yesterday I was coming around an all too familiar turn in the road just driving back to work, going over all of my studying and things I needed to get done before the board. Just worrying about all of it at once. I can’t go too long like that until my conscience tells me to stop, take a step back and breath. So as I’m driving around this bend in the road I just look up at the trees.
I drive this bend more than 3 times daily and still it took me this long to actually look up at the fall colors of the trees here. A solid gold all around me. I hadn’t realized how beauty can be found in the ugliest of places…in the simplest of forms.
So I thank God for His absolute peace that has saved me more times than I’d like to remember. I give all glory to He who makes all things possible.
Dag! If you don't get it then noone

Way to chill with the Boss when things get heavy. Ain’t God good? Look, my granddaughter is only six, but she will eventually need a good Christian man to take care of her. You don’t mind waiting, do ya?
Hope the promotion comes through. Good Luck.
