Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs "Prompt: If at first you don't succeed, you are running about average." ~ M.H. Anderson
What do you think? Is Mr. Anderson talking about writing or something else?"

I think he's talking about life in general. Life is often a series of setbacks, but each of those setbacks is an opportunity to learn. You learn what does not work and you learn what does work. Life is about learning as much as it is about anything else. I find that faith is a very important factor in my life. I often succeed because I claim the success by faith. I am a soldier in the Salvation Army Huntington WV corps. We are renovating a building and getting ready to put in a program called Pathways of Hope. I have known for a long time that a need existed in my corps for somebody with my skills. When I learned that Pathways of Hope was going in I started buying extra uniforms in anticipation of going to work there. I stepped out on faith and bought them. I was just informed yesterday that I will be wearing one of my uniforms n=most of the time as I am being commissioned as our corps Community Care Coordinator. I will be in charge of institutional ministries such as the chaplaincy here at the Veterans Home and a prison ministry at the regional jail. I am also the official liaison between our corps and Marshall University and will be doing the work of a chaplain at Marshall. It looks like I made the right move in buying four extra uniforms.
