One Comment
Jason,
I just finished the men’s retreat out there this past weekend (Go Yellow!) and was struggling with what I’m going to do after the military. I’m in my 23rd year as an officer in the Army. I have been obsessing about “how much” I needed to make to keep my house, my cars and my kids in college and this weekend made me ask myself if I had given this battle to God….and the answer was NO.
On the way back to Norfolk with my group (in the RV) I had a mini revelation. The Catholic community that you have at Covecrest is probably more of what I ought to be looking at for my family (6 kids and a dumb beagle).
I would be very interested in speaking to some of the fathers of the families that stay permenantly at Covecrest if they have time to give me a ring (757-819-8458) or an e-mail (john.ruedisueli@ndu.edu).
Peace,
John
