This year I planted a garden. I disced the soil with my tractor to prepare it. My neighbor gave me the sweet corn seed "Phenomenon" to plant. During the season, I fertilized it twice, to ensure vigorous growth and full ears. A friend, Jerry, watered it just at the right times. My nephew, David, tilled it for me; then, as a family, we hoed the weeds missed by the tiller. Our corn crop lived up to its name--it was "phenomenal." Working together, we all enjoyed the effort--and the corn. I see many of the same principles at work in our Battalion: We need to work together more, and each apply his abilities and talents at the right time and way to ensure a successful, greater harvest. Our results will bless both the individual and the Battalion.
