Leaving on a jet plane....

Morning! I'm outward bound for Montgomery, Alabama this morning. A friend was going to be kind enough to drop me off at the airport, but luckily, the school where my wife works didn't have power/phones this a.m., so my wife and kids will drop me off....

My pre-deployment week has been REALLY stressful. Very busy. I'm looking forward to the flight just to be able to sit still for a few moments.

This is my first national deployment with the American Red Cross, so I'm feeling anxious and a bit overwhelmed. I hope that I can help. My intention is also to treat this as a two-week meditation retreat. Stillness in action.

I hope to be able to post more from where ever I end up being assigned. If we have web access, I'll do it. Otherwise, my brother Pat will be posting for me.

I ask everyone to please keep me and everyone else down South in your prayers, thoughts and meditations.

Regards,

Tim
