Wednesday

Since today is Wednesday, I am at EMS. It has been a relatively average day, if any day at EMS can be average. I spent a lot of time in the office working on a rather mundane policy revision and then helping a couple of other Commanders with a significant personnel investigation.


I ran one vehicle rescue that went well...they usually do. All in all, it has been a good day.


Cristina goes in for her toe surgery in the morning. I know she is a little nervous...she has never had anything like this before. Tricia Ogden is taking her to the surgical center in the morning. In order to be there on time, Tricia and Kayla are spending the night. This will help Cristina keep her mind off of the surgery.


I did spend some time on the phone with Ryan Fontenot today. Ryan is an evangelist who specializes in youth and family. We are talking with him about coming to Liberty Hill for our revival. Please pray about this important decision.

Something I learned as a landscaper years ago deals with trees and roots. Whenever you plant a tree, you are supposed to use ties and stakes to keep the tree from blowing over. However, if you tie it so tight it doesn't move, the tree doesn't set good roots. However, the more it is allowed to move and bend without blowing over, the stronger and deeper the tap root sets.

We must challenge ourselves. Trust God by giving Him more time everyday. Spend more time in His word than you ever have. Take a step towards witnessing to someone you know. Be bold, loose your ties, get stronger...

Blessings,

Michael
