“Royal Purposes 31 Readings For The Tempted, Tried and Suffering” compiled by Edwin and Lillian Harvey in 1963. This is the second reading titled “Soul Fiber Produced By Adversity”. I don’t know how fitting it is that I share this on the eve of Memorial Day 2024 but it is fitting for anyone who is (or soon will be) tempted, tried and suffering. I was deployed to Kuwait in December 1999. Just before my flight out of CONUS, a C-130 transport aircraft made an emergency landing in Kuwait, claiming the lives of three airman. At least one of these men was assigned to the same unit I was to be assigned to in the following days. So, this Memorial Day I remember Airman 1st Class Warren T. Willis, Capt. Michael D. Geragosian and Airman 1st Class Travis Hall.

I’ve had my Alesis E-Kit for over 90 days now. I have played either a Cajon or an E-Kit at church every other Sunday for the past couple months. Most people can’t tell how many mistakes I make as a beginner drummer. “You only get better by playing.” -Buddy Rich I had 90 days free Drumeo lessons. I Bluetooth the lessons into my drum module and practice basic beats such as Billie Jean by Michael Jackson with sheet music provided by Drumeo. I Bluetooth YouTube videos of worship songs through it and do my best without sheet music. I need to improve on everything but specifically the fills while maintaining the beat and always knowing where 1 is.

The Yorkie Poodle Mix is certain that I said “bone” and starts an argument with me. It ends with her leaving a puddle for me to clean up.
