Devotions For Boots On The Ground

"Life isn't about waiting for storms to pass...
It's learning to dance in the rain."

Doug is Down

This is a book about finding courage, not just for the guys on the razor's edge; what about mom and the kids back home?
Or what if it is mom on the edge and dad is with the kids at home? Or what about life situations like cancer or a
broken marriage? The unknown is always the most fearsome. Where does our courage come from?

Human character is phenomenally adaptive,
Even when getting used to the concept of dying. Dying is actually easy....sometimes it's the living that's hard.  It takes strength and focus to overcome insurmountable barriers; and the lessons learned, if survived, last a lifetime,...however long. For some, satisfactory answers never seem to come.  For myself, may I pro-offer both scorching experience, and incredible life-lessons learned?  Then, should you ever fall into similar adventure; you may go into it better prepared than I was.  JWV.»
