Blake

This is my cousin Blake. He looks very serious in this photo, but he is one of the sweetest kids I know. I babysat him and went to his t-ball games and I've watched him grow up into this handsome soldier (I'm the oldest grandchild and he is the youngest).

Blake is headed to Afghanistan now. He'll be caring for the wounded and being the compassionate, sweet guy he has always been. I am proud to know him and proud of the serious work that he will be doing.

I am praying for him, and I would appreciate your prayers, too.
