I just spent the last hour with Craig Chambers, the dad of a soldier in the marine corp who lost his leg and probably should have lost his life in Iraq. They have been at Walter Reed medical center for the past seven weeks as their son recovers from his body and head injuries. He told me that he read In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day in the ICU with a penlight. Amazing how many people have read the book in a hospital room. It seems like God has really used chapter four on overcoming adversity as a form of grief counseling.
I guess Craig was introduced to National Community Church by his daughter who attended NCC while she was a student at American University. So inspired by the way their family is navigating this challenge. Talk about landing in a pit with a lion on a snowy day! I'm sure they have their bad days and down days, but I was so inspired by the way the parents are viewing this as part of their destiny.
I'm impressed with people who do great things, but I'm doubly impressed with people who endure bad things with great grace!

a soldier is in the army, and a marine is in the marine corps. you can't be a soldier in the marine corps. might not seem like a big deal, but it is if you're a marine or somehow connected with the marine corps.
