Pneumonia healed, humility restored

Many years ago when I was new as a Christian Scientist, and a new draftee in the United States Army, I found myself in need of healing. 

I had found success in basic training and had been quickly promoted to a leadership position in our platoon. In my next training assignment, I found myself continuing to find success, but I began to look down a bit on some of the training staff. These men did not have the polish I had admired in our initial group of NCOs and officers, and I felt they were doing a poor job with the task they were assigned. 

In addition to these negative feelings, I was upset that we were not given clothes fully adequate to the brutal winter conditions. But instead of praying about the situation, I started to become careless in my thinking and behavior; I just wanted to get the training over with. I even missed bed check one night and had my weekend pass revoked and my rank reduced.
