You know, you go to Six Flags, and you see the long line on that ride, but you get in it. And wait. And then you have to pee really bad, so you get back out of line and go do that, and then hurry back to the line. And wait. And then it rains, so you rush to find shelter to wait out the storm....
Whatever, the point is, the Army's Mission Hurry Up and Wait is fully under way. We've gone from thinking we had until Tuesday, to Saturday night to Sunday night, to hopefully early Monday, to orders denied and who knows when, more orders on Wednesday so maybe that night, nope not yet, maybe Thursday, to finally, "nevermind, we're just driving everything to Wilmington and sending it down by boat and maybe we'll fly or maybe we'll go on the boat." Which is what the current plan is. With no timeline. I nearly lost my mind by Thursday, but I'm alright.
It's just been one crazy week.

Oh yes, that is the military way. Hurry up and wait... and don't ask too many questions, because there aren't any answers.
I rarely get on FB, just check in now and again, so I am so glad to see you back on here. The Roller Coaster posting was beautifully done. I love the prophet story. God loves to do that, doesn't He?!
