All in one time

Today I have CQ duty. For those of you who may be reading this thinking "what the heck is CQ" allow me to enlighten you. CQ stands for "Charge of Quarters", which basically means I sleep in the band hall and guard the building and the equipment and answer any phone calls...amungst other duties. Needless to say there are some boring times while pulling a 24hr CQ shift. I was sitting here listening to KLOVE online and couldn't help but think that Sandy was probably listening to the very same song at that same moment. What an encouraging feeling. To know that I am sharing at least someting with my family, though we are so far apart, is a wonder. The title in this post is represented in the thought that though I am 7 hours ahead and roughly 8000 miles away, there are things that connect us at any given moment. God's blessings certainly do transcend time, distance, and location.

looky looky what I found http://kozabaptist.blogspot.com/

How amazing is that?

Spoon Tree

I was walking around post when I first got here and was thinking to myself, ya know this isnt so bad...even the plants are somewhat the same. There are date trees here and there a few scrub bushes and some dried up weeds. In many ways very similar to living in Nevada only you don't get dust storms like here. Just as I was feeling less intimidated by this place I found something I had never seen in my life and probably wont see ever again...A SPOON TREE! MAN THIS PLACE WEIRD!
