Catch Up and Must Do

Chuck is a wonderful husband and father. He is a deacon at the Pitman church. He is the captain of a tug boat. It's a tough life. He is on the job 2 weeks and at home 1 week. When he's on the job, his little tug boat does remarkable feats for such a little guy. When they have a job they have to do, they say that they're "in the game." Now, Chuck and Andrea are my Facebook friends. Some of Chuck's "status" reports over the last few weeks have told a little of his story. On January 15, the day the US Airways jet had to land in the Hudson River, Chuck was not too far away. Here is a list of some of his status posts on Facebook:

Enjoy a few of the pics that came by way of Chuck and stay with us as we continue the discussion next week on THE POWER OF CHRIST IN ME. When you look at a little tugboat, what do you see? I see sooooo much power! When I look at you, what do I see? I see the power of Christ in you!!

One day, I hope Andrea uses her gift of writing to write a series of children's books similar to the "Little Engine that Could" but using her real life husband and his tug boat.

Patti, Thanks for honoring my husband. He's a God fearing man, who puts only God, before the boys and I. I respect him so much for his desire to grow spiritually. It's a struggle for him to step out of his box, but I'm proud that he pushes himself in order to be the spirit lead earthly father to our sons. He comes off as a rough sailor, but if you take the time to know him, you learn that he's tender. God has blessed me beyond what I ever expected.
