“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."
The Gospel, according to John 14:1-3
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
The Gospel, according to Matthew 5:4
Ed was born on a chilly February morning in Great Falls Montana. Rumor has it that Ed's parents worked their way to Malmstrom AFB on a cold Valentines Day morning to welcome me into the world. Apparently I was even good looking at that age, which my beautiful Mother will attest to. I was raised in Louisville Ky until the age of 18 where I had most of what I wanted and all of what I needed. I started working summers and later on afternoons with my Dad fairly early and it taught me that if I want money, I work more or harder for it.
I won't bother you more with the youth of Ed that did occasionally have "youthful indiscretions", except to say that I hope to have learned from them. After a short stint (12 years) in the Marines, I left to seek proper medical care for a crushed disk in my neck and continue on the path of life.
Now I work for a great company. I don't want to violate any rules about social media, but the name rhymes with "Motorola". I really like what I am doing (99% of the time) and couldn't have chosen better. I have a great manager and there are many managers there that are getting it done. My loyalty is somewhere below fanatical, but up there pretty high. I service cutting edge communication systems for public safety customers from the 911 line coming into the building through the dispatch systems, towers, to the voice or data device in the first responders hand or vehicle. It is rewarding providing unprecedented communication quality to people who have other things to worry about in their workday. First responders need to be able to know that when they need it, they can call for help or hear a call for help. Did I mention that I like my job?
