Well I just said goodbye to Anthony, that was fun,(sarcasm). One time I had a really bad asthma attack, I mean like really bad, and the doctors needed to get some serious medicine in me fast, so the stuck a .5mm needle in my arm, that is pencil lead size. That was much more pleasent than saying goodbye to Anther. But I am so proud of him and they rest of our group. I respect his decision to serve his country. I am proud of Jamison for making manly decisions, his career, his upcoming marriage, but more importantly his spriritual growth. I am proud of Joel and his ministry and his preparation for ministry. Despite the pitfalls of ministry and Joels experience with it, he still chooses to pursue it. It is definitely a call, I understand what Jeremiah said we he tried to bottle up God's word and not proclaim it and he stated that it was like a fire inside of him and he could not contain it. I know that feeling. Life would be so much easier outside of ministry, especially with goodbyes, but it is not containable by man, we can not not do it. And if we did we would not get to experience lives being transformed. So even though goodbyes are hard, a life impacted is worth it. I love you guys.
