Too close for comfort

Brandon's convoy was hit today. FORTUNATELY, his humvee wasn't running and they sent a different group of guys. The one that was sitting where Brandon would have been lost his right hand and him and another guy got shrapnel in the face, arms and legs. I am so thankful that Brandon was safe but my heart goes out to the the other guys and their families. Please keep them ALL in your prayers. I know it is emotionally devastating for Brandon. He has such a caring heart under his tough exterior. See you all soon.

Thanks for all your prayers. God was definitely watching out for him. Have you heard from your bro yet JW. I'll agree with you and say that no news is good news. I still haven't heard from Brandon since then. I'm sure he's busy. Catch ya'll later.
