My long Navy experience was less...edifying...

But even Augustine turned out alright in the end.

The Navy can help one appreciate David's observation that God was everywhere.

in the depths, heights, everywhere.

Sorry yours was not so edifying.

But then . . . boot camp is rarely considered enormously edifying spiritually . . . though it can be.

This is not the objective . . . eternity is.

My long Navy experience was less...edifying...

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

God can use those "less edifying" experiences to work for good, if we let him.

Sincerely
