Rain - No snow - Yet!

Well it rained today - I don't THINK it will get cold enough to snow - but I'm not the weather man. They still say it will - we shall see.

The weather did put a damper on things today - as far as construction production goes. For the most part, we did very well in spite of the rain. LtCol Lehman and I had the privilege to escort the 755 AEG commander, Col Reed, out to some of our various projects! He's a GREAT guy! He enjoyed his time with us and was happy to see what we are doing and he got to meet many of the Airmen on our team! He was pleased. So was I and LtCol Lehman.

I'm feeling pretty good these days - all finished with the chest cold I had. Back to normal and it feels good. I'm walking a lot - haven't had the desire to RUN much. I did jog a few times - no great distances - maybe a mile or so. That running thing is getting harder and harder. The good news is I'm able to walk without any pain and that doesn't bother me at all - so walking it will be for a while. Around here - it's faster to walk than it is to drive in many cases.

I still have a few breadsticks left that I really enjoy in the evenings - with my non-alcoholic Bitburger beer! In fact, I'm enjoying them both right now!

Can't think of much more I can tell you. Just that I miss my family and friends and thanks to ALL of you who are praying for me and the team. We all appreciate it!

I did go to church yesterday - it was a very nice - very similar to what I know... A bunch of fun loving Christians who can't sing very well, but love the Lord! Very similar to many churches I've been too. :-) The preacher was an Army Chaplain who delivered a very good message about what it means to be born again - if you haven't read the story - check it out - just look in your index for Nicodemus or follow the links below.

The preacher was a Jim Carey look a like and he did a great impersonation of him!

Several people were really touched by the message and it was great to see the Holy Spirit at work here in Afghanistan.

OK - enough of my preaching. Seriously, thanks for the prayers!

Mark.
