Goals

For those that don't know I can be a little bit competitive (no really?). The one that I compete with the most is myself. I remember in basic training the Drill Sargent would say doing your best only gets you to the fight. You have to do better to win it.

Well that work ethic has served me well this year. I made the deans list at Liberty University and finally scored 270 on my PT test (a goal I have had for 10 years) at CH BOLIC (the Chaplain Officer Course). Not that there isn't room for improvement. Still its good to make progress on your goals. With my accession board convening on the 12th I can't help but be hopeful.

What are my goals? I want to hit the remainder of CH BOLIC hard and heavy. Pour it on until all else is drown in the flood. Steam role my final 2 courses at Liberty and take my first battalion. There develop a systematic comprehensive ministry plan to overcome every obstacle.

Bring God to soldiers and soldiers to God. Its easy to claim 100% effectiveness (they get there somehow) but I would prefer they did it on this side of the river. Unto that end I dedicate myself.

Family? Well I want a healthy and productive one. My children growing in strength and purpose and my wife loved and cared for.

Spiritually? Here I want depth and application. I want to take the whole word and let it sink into my life. I want to explore my sacred pathway. I want to dig down so far into the rock to build my life in application and character that they cannot determine where the rock begins and I end.

So hear I am finally with my goals set for my hope filled future.
