[Woodcarver] Farewell carving for my son...

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Bill,

I pray for your son's safety.

I'll have to check out your site after I get back on wireless. I need 
someone to climb the antenna and replace an amp. My dial-up is too slow and 
times out on your page.

> I finally finished the farewell carving for my second son. He leaves  home 

> in June to assume duties in the Canadian Forces as a junior  officer. 

> Having just finished he training as an Electrical/Mechanical  Engineer 

> (EME) with a degree in Civil Engineering, he now owes  Canadian Forces 

> five years of service. The truth be known, I think he  is a career 

> soldier.

>

> He ships off to CFB Borden, in Ontario in June, to complete the last

> after, he will receive his first domestic posting.

>

> I chose Psalm 144 for him, seeing that this is called the Warrior's 

> Psalm. In fact, this Psalm was written by King David, who, as anyone 

> familiar with scriptures will know, was not only the king of Israel,  but 

> a mighty warrior. As a youth he killed wild animals while  defending 

> sheep. Later he slew the giant Goliath of the Philistines.  Later he was 

> forced to live the life of a fugitive and a guerilla  warrior while King 

> Saul sought his life. Finally, he ascended to the  throne and led Israel 

> as King and Commander of all its armies,  actively fighting into middle 

> age.

>

> With this in mind, the Psalm is written for the warrior by a warrior.  It 

> has the ring of truth, having been borne of experience, and has  served to 

> underpin the courage and commitment of soldiers for  thousands of years.
