Well, He Did It
Jason went and enlisted in the Army Reserves last week. I guess this must be some kind of record? Four sons from the same family in the military? Not a record that I would want to be known for.
Several people have asked me what I think about this decision. Not because of my feelings or how it will affect my life but because they know my son. I didn’t like it when the other three enlisted but I knew that they would benefit someway.
This one I am not so sure about. I will have to redouble my prayers on his behalf. That’s about all I can do.
Battery is about to die and there is no where to plug in here so farewell for now.

Oh my! I am so grateful to all your family for your service to our country. But I can imagine how hard that would be for a mother’s heart… Praying for the Lord’s will to be done and for the peace of God to guard your heart. Love and prayers, ~Marianna
Monique doesn’t want John Luke (4 ½) to enlist..she doesn’t want to worry~
Motherly thing I suppose
Always was a chubby guy. That won’t last long. It didn’t for me.
It will do him some good, willy nilly.
I echo your son: this may do him some good.
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you yet. Things have been pretty nuts. I hope you’re feeling well and that everything on the faith and family fronts are going well. God bless.
You have the most beautiful children! My goodness!
Wow. You have every right to be proud, proud in a Godly way for what all He has done. Your family is amazing.
I am proud and humbled when I read your soldier’s blog.
You are so appreciated, four military men in one family. Wow. Praying for your sons, your family and you too. You are obviously one special mom.
Love, hugs and prayers, ~Amelia
Hello Ms. Ann,
You worked hard to make your site simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. I see that you have four sons on a military course. We are the ones who believe that course is contrary to basic Christian principles!
I want to help people to really get to know what God’s plans are for us, especially in these troubled times: 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. (Revelation 19:19-21) (NIV)
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I hope you get a chance to look at them.
