In the Navy

Exodus 20:17 has this to say  

You shall not covet your neighbor's house.  You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neightbor.  

So much for keepin' up with the Jones'.  Well, I have to say, sometimes I just get pretty jealous of women who get to be where their husbands are.  Like, they live with them, interact with them on a once a week basis and so on.  So, I am trying to remember that some people don't have husbands, or have husbands in Iraq, or other situations.  And I am going to remember that my husband is serving our country and protecting it and that is why we don't get to live together for the next eight months.  Doin' my best to keep that commandment in the forefront of my mind.  

In other news, Nick is going "under weigh" on the USS John Paul Jones.  I think if I say where it is going the Navy will hunt me down and kill me.  He'll be gone for two months.  This is really a blessing.  He was picked out of five Ensigns to go (one of two) and he is the lowest man on the totem pole at this point.  It should be a great time to learn on his feet and really get his bearing on a ship.  

Anchors Aweigh!
