A hard day (02 SEP 10)

I am not sure if it was just the news about CH Goetz, but I was not able to focus today. I came over to the tent tonight feeling defeated. Then, as I was getting ready for bed, I met SSG Kin. He is here for a few days from Andar to help set up some logistical systems for the Rakkasans. He shared how seeing me pray this morning encouraged him and started his day in the right direction. What encouraged me was when he reminded me that everyone falls short, but it's how you respond that makes a difference. I can get up tomorrow in God's mercy and might to face the day on His terms, regardless of how today went.
