Time REALLY does Fly

Well, no. I guess time clicks off at the same 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, etc., etc.! But sometimes it SEEMS to fly by. It is now 8 months since I began traveling to serve our military men and women and their families -- Department of the Army civilians, too. It began in TN, moved to AL, then on to TX and finally here at Fort Bragg, NC. Here's what I've discovered. Time flies. Yes, it zooms by. I could not have been on the road for 8 months. My goodness that's almost a year -- I guess 4 months less than a year, but it seems like a year. I've also discovered that military people are like people everywhere. They are no different regardless of whether we think so or don't. They are pretty young. They are usually balancing military duties, home life, children, marriage and money. Why? To serve their country and the cause of freedom around the world. No I haven't "drunk the Kool Aid" I have seen them and they are us. Same kind of problems; same kind of energy; same kind of challenges; same kind of determination to make the best of sometimes very difficult situations. Yes, they are us. And as Jesus said we ought to "love our neighbors as we love ourselves." These soldiers and airmen I have met, you would love them as you love yourself. It is eye opening. Time has moved on and for the first time this year I'll spend some time at home before returning to the work again soon. It will be here before I know it, because Time REALLY does FLY! Dr. D.
