Lighterknot Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Hello everybody, I just found this site as well as my way back to the church. I was inactive for a little over 8 years and it took deploying to Iraq for me to go back to church and to start living the principles of the gospel again. I am still in Iraq, and will be here for another month before heading back to Alabama. Looking forward to participating in some entertaining discussions... Chad Quote

Lighterknot Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks for the welcome everyone, I wouldn't even know where to begin sharing my road back to the church or the place to post something like that. One thing for sure, it would be a very long post! Chad Quote

Lighterknot Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Posted May 25, 2008 Hemi I am Air Force, November was 10 years that I have been in...being over here has really opened my eyes to what the Army has to go through while deployed. I am very fortunate to be in the location I am as opposed to other places over here. Quote
