And I'm so sorry Mrs McG is having to endure so much surgery. I'll be praying for her, her docs, and that this time everything comes together.Mary Coadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334484838624372471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-74657087992196172982010-02-16T14:35:25.482-08:002010-02-16T14:35:25.482-08:00bTim,

And it's about the way we make ourselves crazy (that's not how he puts it) by jumping to conclusions, making uninformed judgements--all the things you talk about and more. It's based on cognitive therapy and builds on the work of the talented psychiatrist Aaron Beck, MD (of Penn--yeah! Mom and Sis's alma mater). It's an easy read with worksheets. Not psycho-babble. MTKM on that. You might want to get it from Amazon. At $16 it's a bargain in the world of therapy!Mary Coadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334484838624372471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-68044898929199672182010-02-15T18:15:55.585-08:002010-02-15T18:15:55.585-08:00In spite of your intentional omission of official ...In spite of your intentional omission of official army insignia, you clearly indicate you are an army chaplain. So how does your criticism of your command leadership not equate to insubordination or at least a lack of loyalty. I have finally figured out what personality characteristic you have that drives me so crazy: arrogance. You are convinced you are superior. Why just because you are an old man who has donned the uniform and gone off into service, that gives you the right to stand in judgment over everyone. So much of what you right is nothing but judgment of others from your position of arrogance. And yes, I'm the pot calling the kettle black in that I am criticizing you for being so critical. But I can't stand it when an officer of our military displays such public disloyalty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-50121334487781213242010-02-15T12:23:16.006-08:002010-02-15T12:23:16.006-08:00Father,
Since you didn't say it, I will "...Father,<br /><br />Since you didn't say it, I will "What's up with that?!?!?".<br /><br />It wasn't that long ago that a deployed Soldier might a a phone call home every few days. Technology is a wonderful thing but it has spoiled not only Soldiers, but society as a whole.<br /><br />It is my pleasure to serve with you. I have the deepest admiration for your service and the service you provide.<br /><br />Signed,<br />Just a SoldierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
