Shook the hand of a man from the first wave of Normandy, and a vice president of Tyson Chicken, good times

I know I just posted yesterday, but I forgot a few things. First off this week I meant a lot of amazing people, but 2 stick out a little, mainly because of their lives. I met a lot of great men and women this week from a great church in Arkansas, that I'll hopefully get to see again sometime. One of them is a vice president of Tyson Foods, and shared a lot with me about how his company has regualr prayer meetings, and even has a chaplin on staff for their offices. It was really encouraging to hear him talk with his boss openly about praying for people and situations in his company, and that they really seeked the Lord's guidence in their daily bussiness meetings.
The other guy I got to meet, was a veteran who was among the first waves of Navy ships to hit the beaches of Normandy. His story was amazing, and it was a priveledge to work for such a man that gave up so much. As well as he was worried about his wife as she was in the hopsital, and he was sad she wasn't at home anymore, and missed her a lot. I hope to have that kind of love for my family when I get one of my own.
My team and I are really connecting. Chad and I are really becoming close. He is such a great thinker, and cares about God so much, we have great discussions. Things are just alot of fun when we are together, even cooking hamburgers has never made me laugh so hard. But we both love serving the Lord, and having a good time so it's all good. As well as he is our worship coordinator, and he has a box drum, a box you sit on and the bottom is a bass drum, and a snare towards the top. But he has been working with me on it, and while he plays guitar for worship, I am actually playing the drum. Not to mention the one night last week where I actually led singing... That was a fun time, where we sang to God and for His praise, and not for our own ears to enjoy... But alas that is all. I'm leaving for Kentucky in the morning for another crazy God adventure, and who knows maybe get to see some of the Icthus concert this year.
