Not long for here...
We've been in limbo for the last few weeks. I guess the best way to say it is, I've been in limbo for the last few weeks. As you know, we are about to embark on a totally new journey (ministerially, spiritually, geographically, and emotionally).

Three weeks ago, I was sworn in a Captain in the United States Air Force. It was the whole, stand in front of the flag, 15 other military people in the room to witness, right hand in the air, repeat after me, "Do you swear to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States..."

That "official" ceremony started a ball of change rolling down hill and it is doing nothing but picking up speed. Now, don't hear me complaining. I'm absolutely not. I'm just being descriptive. A week and a half after being sworn in, I received my REAL orders. Here is the skinny:

The Scott Family will be stationed at Little Rock AFB (located just N of Little Rock, in a small community called Jacksonville). We aren't sure about the housing at this point, but in a few weeks we will have a hard address (we hope). I have to go to Maxwell AFB in AL, for 4 weeks for Commissioned Officer Training (which many jokingly call "knife & fork" school). I leave on the 24th of this month (May) and the family will be moving after they finish school a couple of weeks after.

So, that is our life's direction. Our day to day now is filled with slowly packing our stuff and paring down our possessions. If we will on base, the largest dwelling I qualify for as a Captain is 1400 square feet. And 1,400 sq ft, is small considering all the books we have...and I suppose the children too.

We are really getting excited to start - in earnest - this next phase of our lives.
God is good, really good. His blessings overflow.
Peace, Chaplain (Capt) Scott. And yes, you have to salute!
