Army Spec. Zachary Boyd, a 2007 graduate of Keller Central High School, was in his sleeping quarters this week when the Taliban attacked in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. He rushed to a defensive position clad in his helmet, vest and boxers -- the pink ones decorated with the "I Love NY" slogan.
I follow a number of blogs. Some are funny, some have great photos, and some cover topics that interest me. There are a few that I monitor that are written by Church Planters. Two of the planters are a couple that were previously the youth pastor & wife at our church.
Kevin and Amy Colon started Cool River Church in Superior, CO (which, coincidentally, is just over 3.5 miles due west of where my family lived when I was in 2nd grade). Anyway, Kevin and Amy both blog, and I monitor their blogs just to keep up with what is going on.
Back in February Amy did a post titled "Need a Homerun Date Night Idea?" on her Church Planting Wives blog. In that post Amy recommended that her readers spend an evening reading blog posts by Justin and Trisha Davis. In a nutshell, Justin & Trisha were church planters that were incredibly successful. In about a year their plant grew to over 700 and things appeared great on the surface...until Justin left her and the ministry. After a period of counseling and restoration their marriage was renewed and their family was brought back together.
A very interesting report on the un-manned aircraft used by today's military.
Increasingly, the U.S. military is relying on un-manned aircraft to track and destroy the enemy, sometimes controlled from bases thousands of miles away from the battlefront.
