A good friend reminded me through an email that God has a purpose with all this waiting because our child, that He has hand-picked for us, is still waiting to enter this world - Thanks for the reminder Colleen and returning my focus to God’s plan, not mine 
I had to help Woody make his bunk! Woody, Tom, and I joined on the “buddy system.” The truth, as we learned, was that we would go through basic training together and then off to our separate training schools or assigned bases for On the Job Training (OJT)! It was years later, years after our four-year tour, that I saw either Woody or Tom again! Woody could not grasp the concept of knocking once on the DI’s door, waiting for his “Come in!” of thirty to forty troops each spread out over the huge field, and the voices of the DIs echoed angrily back and forth across the field. There was poor old Woody, attempting to keep up with the push-up count when his knees sagged and touched the ground! Woody replied between heavy breaths of air! Woody was laboring and I was terrified for him. Before I could worry any longer, Woody suddenly yelled out, “I’m sick sir; Woody ran for the edge of the field and no one dared look. Me, well I took the opportunity to dig out another sandspur and kept on pumping, cussing Woody all the while under my breath for bringing the DI’s wrath down on the rest of us!
