It's been a few days

Sorry for not updating this in a few days. It's been hectic to say the least. A person who has never been in the military will just never understand the kind of work load we have. I spent 6 hours troubleshooting one computer just to have it e-slap me in the face and that is just one issue. I hope this isn't a preview of the rest of deployment. Most of us agree the quality of the food is already at the 4 month mark yet we aren't even 2 weeks in. Yikes!

On a positive note, a Chaplain came to our ship today. He will be with us until Sunday afternoon when he will be boated back to his home ship. We are having a Bible Study and a time of prayer tonight. I am looking forward to it. He will hold service Sunday morning and then I will hold it again Sunday evening. I still plan on going through the 5 points of Calvinism in depth. Should be interesting.

As with all deployments, this one will prove to be challenging. Red Cross messages have started coming because of ill or dying relatives, people's pets have passed away, stress levels are high, and relationships are being pulled in all directions (some closer and some not so much). It's nothing new and it isn't going to stop any time soon. Let's just pray that God will help us through this difficult time.
