Crisis

A crisis is not just "in the eye of the beholder." That is, it is only a crisis for the one having the crisis. A personal crisis often involves others whether in support of that person or to avoid that person or maybe to have created the crisis FOR that person. It is humbling to me to know that the airmen whom I serve will come to me with their personal crisis even though they do not know me and I will be gone in 45 days. I think you would be awed by the experience. When we are asking our military to serve at great danger to themselves and their families, I believe it is important that we support them with the personal crises that often accompany living. The young man, married ten years, feeling his marriage fall apart, longs for the assistance that will prevent that. I pray that the preservation he wants will be found in my office. It's okay if he finds it somewhere else also. But if he makes his way to me, I want him to find what he needs. If I ask him to go into combat I must be there for him when he needs me. Dr. D.
