Well guys, it's been more than a month since I last posted something here and a lot of water's gone under the bridge. Mostly though, I've been kind of lazy so please forgive me. A faithful brigadier reminded me last week that I wasn't doing my job very well and I needed the push. So, what's been going on? My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Europe (my first) and there were many things I enjoyed about it. None more though, than getting home to the good ole USA. For all of Europe's charms, I'm still glad I live here and the wisdom of our founding fathers is more clear to me than ever. I pray that as we debate the issues of religious freedom, we never set aside the foundation of God's soverienty upon which our government rests. Next, a couple of the adult leaders and almost all of the Non-comms participated in a leadership conference at Camp Hickory Hill in New York. We included a sight seeing stop at Niagra Falls which is a truly awesome sight. I'm really proud of the spirit of service among our Non-comms and their willingness to improve the way they serve the Battalion was evident at the conference. These are good guys to follow. The following weekend was our trip to CMTS and I've got a separate blurb on that so I won't go into it here. We also finished up the Physical Fitness Activity and I think nearly everyone improved in at least one area so congrats to all. Set new goals for yourself and keep it going! We'll be transitioning to Winter Camping now and working toward our trip in January to try out our new skills. We'll have new character and leadership traits and a new verse to memorize. Speaking of memorization, here's a test to see if you got our first memory verse in your long term memory. Tell me the verse next Tuesday night (the 25th) and I'll have something sweet for you.
Blessings,
Captain Hayden
CSB Battalion 6468 at Chapelgate
The Christian Service Brigade Battalion program is for young men in the 7th - 12th grades who want to develop as Christian leaders through fun and adventure. Weekly meetings are punctuated by monthly trips to experience God's creation, serve others, and discover new interests. Planning and preparation are shared by student and adult leaders to learn and exercise leadership skills in a variety of activities and settings. Above all, the Lordship of Jesus Christ is acknowledged. The gospel is woven throughout everything we do. To God be the glory.
