…are so disdained in academia.

I had a college roommate who cracked a joke: “Military intelligence is an oxymoron.” I didn’t know enough at the time to be horrified by this.

I realize now that she probably saw the young woman in me who wanted to join the military rather than attending University because of a situational crisis I had.

But I was too weak. And, my father, a so, so civilian scientist, would have disowned me for this.

It was my pride and joy to marry the son of a Canadian WWII military hero. Also, his uncle won a DFC for flying across Germany to safety in a damaged plane. He pointed out to me that I was sometimes disdainful of him in this regard! Recently, I learned that some of my attitudes, for evil or for good, were rooted in bigotry!

As I have stated, I have only truly come to Jesus in the last few days. I was actively seeking for such a long time. Then suddenly I was at the end of my rope, and there He was!

Today, I am putting God first for the first time in my life!

It is a place that my father wouldn’t permit me to go. I held on in an interior way.

Now, I am not afraid to put my lamp on a stand. I am no longer hiding my light under a bushel. This has been going on slowly for the last few weeks.

And this has been my reward, to finally receive Jesus. The Lord rewards faith.

My son taught me some soldier’s moves he learned from his father and a naval academy he attended from grade 6 to 10. This saved my life! When I needed it most.

So, through my husband I learned to respect my father’s work in hi-tech. Obviously-whether Dad knew it or not–he was closely allied with military intelligence. Also, he was quite famous in a way I did not have the power to know at the time.

So, God bless the American military and this great nation that they serve every day with their very lives!
