Finding Religon

Indirect fire attacks are common here. Basically the little mountain men lob 3 to 6 rockets at a time at us on a random basis. You can either worry about it, or accept it as a fact of life.

We choose to accept it as something we have no control over. Two positives: 1) they use old Russian rockets; and 2) because they are old, they are not as accurate.

Every now and again you hear about amazing and bewildering events that defy explanation. I responded to one the other day.

In this case, one of the rockets found its mark. God was definitely present and the soldiers in this hut are all singing His praise. Flight path took it through the roof and two walls before exiting via the floor, detonating 6+ feet under ground. It missed one of the sleeping soldier's feet by about a 1/2 a foot.

The soldier was to rotate back home the following day after his 1-year tour. Thankfully he did, albeit with wood splinters as a reminder and a new found faith in God.
