What a great Christmas season! While there have been some unique challenges to returning home, I am really feeling like I am getting back in the groove of things. Benjamin really seems to be getting to know me and I am starting to get into his pattern of daily living. One thing they taught us at Chaplain's Officers Basic is the amount of time it takes to reintegrate back to living after being gone for a significant amount of time. They said that for each day away, it takes a day to get readjusted. That means for our troops coming back from 15 month deployments, it takes them 15 months to get "back to normal." Certainly something to pray about as our soldiers come home from deployment. Fortunately for us, I was only gone three months, so while it's only been a couple weeks since I've been home, I expect to get "back to normal" a little more quickly.
Something we did this new year was head to White Sulfur Springs where Officers Christian Fellowship has a retreat center. It was a great few days away. We took out time getting there and even stopped off to see some friends that we hadn't seen in a few years on the way home. We hit a little snow, but it really didn't slow us down. While on this trip, we used my brand new Garmin Nuvi 200 GPS. I will talk more about this later, but holy cow it was great! Got us to the doorstep of White Sulfur Springs with no problems. Again, more to come at a later time.
Well, I here Benjamin starting to cry. Thanks for reading.
Blessings,
Rob
