No band, but lots of brass in Winnipeg

So I'm reading a memo from the Chief of the Staff - International Sport's Ministry Person...the cadets are already lining up. Then I read how Comm. Bill Francis is appointed the Chair of our doctrine council. The pecking order is General, Chief of the Staff, Zonal Commanders, so Comm. Francis is like one of the number 3's. You're asking, "So what?" Well, I look up from my magazine and who is standing in the halls of CFOT? Numbers 3, 4(Comm.M.Christine MacMillan) & 5(Col.Glen Shepherd). This could be timely. Here's what I'm thinking...Let's move doctrine 11 up into the 3 or 4 position. From a systematic standpoint it doesn't work, but from a marketing position it is brilliant. We could move the 'endless punishment of the wicked' and finish strong with sanctification. And maybe we could change the position of the wording to have the punishment first, then 'eternal happiness' would end that particular doctrine. Anyway, it seems like a more interesting topic than "how's the weather in England?" If you have any requests you'd like me to run by the Commissioners (there's a lot of them here right now), just ask, and I'll do my best.

It's good to see some familiar faces too. The officer who coined one of my favourite quotes is here, Col. Wayne Pritchett, king of illiteration. I've used a line he gave me so often...in relation to new revelation..."if it's new, it's not true, and if it's true, it's not new". He was also the officer who put us in Williams Lake. God bless him, and thank you.

Anyway, I've gotta go. I'm doing a workup on a doctrine of inerancy...

cheers,
