I'M HOME!!!!! Not States home but home either way. I got to get off the ship today :)!!! I went out to lunch with Myles Shapiro, Jason Lane, and Karr. We had a good time...especially since Karr payed for lunch :). I love brothers in Christ!!!!!! I also went to the Palmer's house today!!! That's like my second home! I love them so much, even if the kids like beating on me. That's ok :). I have permission to beat on them right back :). It's awesome!!!

Well, Shannon was telling me all about this huge concert my churches worship team did on the 7th and I missed it because I had to be out at sea with the ship >:I. That'll happen. We are planning on having a whole service with just praise and worship music with scripture reading here and there. Hopefully we'll do it while my loving fiancee is here ;).

5 MORE DAYS and I'll be holding God's gift to me in my arms again :). I can't wait!!!!!!!! I love you Kendra!!!!!

Remember the liberty thing I was talking about a few days ago; the one where they took every one's overnight liberty away if they were an E-4 and below? Well, it came from the "horses mouth," my Comanding Officer (the BIG boss on the ship), that the liberty should be given back by Wed. I pray that it will be. I want to be with Kendra as much as I can. Pray for that to fall through all right. Thanks.

Let's see...what else? I got an e-mail from Eric Violet today!!! This is the second one I've recieved from him this week!!! I miss that "mang" so much. I always love getting e-mails from him. I can't wait to jam with him when I go home :). God bless you, Hank!!!!

I think that is about all. Continue to pray for "Yoko Revival 2003" (the big praise and worship concert in June. Thanks!!! That's it for now. God bless!!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: All things work out for the glory of God!
