W H A T. I’ve often written this with three steps, but I’ve found something is more memorable if it has an easy to remember formula.

I am honored to live in a military town. All my life I have known soldiers. Some of my best friends and family have been military-related. Our church has a large military population. I have heard people talk about the burden of military families on a church, because every three years they have to be replaced.
