Home

Well I'm back in Alaska. I'm happy to be home with Darron but really
miss having Ben home and I miss Jacque and Jackson. Ben is in his
second week of school and Jacque is in her third week. She told me
Jackson weighs 15 pounds now. He is growing so fast. Darron flies
through Salt Lake on Wednesday (his birthday) and has a few hours
layover so Jacque is going to go to the airport to see him. He'll get
to see Jackson and that will be a good birthday present.
Ben starts track practice on Monday. I think he is excited to get
that started.
Andy is doing great.. We hear from him every week. He is very busy
and doing his best to stay safe.

Glory in life is not obtained because you fell and got back to your feet. While many may fall there are some few that know the truth of it. That no matter how much they fall in doing what they believe they never fall in their hearts. Their hearts are strong in their conviction. They keep going when there is nothing left except the drive to never fall and always be free. Among these few some of them stand out as champions of their day. For they strive not only to be free. They strive to make everyone in their hearts free as well. A true soldier can never fall. He can only fall if his conviction waivers. So glory in life doesn't come from never falling. But from having the will power and desire to keep going without thought or care of peril to oneself. Glory in life goes to those who fight because others cannot or will not. It is by their efforts that we can speak as if everything is ok. We would know no glory. We would know no freedom. If it were not for those better then us. The true glory goes to those who give us the right to act as if we have glory. But we don't have glory. Without them we wouldn't even have life. We have no rights except the ones they fight so that we may have. You know nothing of falling because they fight for us everyday knowing that if they never fall we won't have to feel the pain of falling. They never fall. They fight on. Through them we are led to believe we fall and get back up. But we never fall nor will we ever. Because of those champions among us. Our white knights.
