Please join us in your own personal seeking of the Lord, as well as corporately together Wednesday at noon in the Faculty Dining room for an extended time of prayer. |
| COVID Awareness — Omicron | Dr. Levendusky Dr. Peter McCullough has been sharing helpful treatment plans and equally important, recent studies that show that Omicron can look quite different from the “Alpha” and “Delta” variants that many of us have had. For this variant, please be aware that it may look very similar to a common cold or flu. He said that Omicron is more upper respiratory, while the other variants tended to move quickly into the lungs. Omicron symptoms are runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat, headache, serious lethargy, and fever. Though Omicron is reportedly less severe, it is highly contagious and there may still be greater risk for some than for others.
Therefore, we urge everyone to use extra caution, and if you are experiencing these symptoms, please stay home. Just as any of us would have done prior to the entry of COVID-19 to our world, please consider it vitally important on how to reduce the spread to others during the contagious stages (i.e. when you have any symptoms and are not feeling well.) |
| ALERT Reunion Staff and families are welcome to join us for the upcoming ALERT Reunion, January 28–30. Captain Clay Rowland, Basic Training Commanding Officer for Units 12-25 will be the keynote speaker on Saturday, and RFC Caleb Reed (Unit 44) will be sharing for church on Sunday. Please note that Campus Fellowship will be joining the reunion for church in the Field House.
If you are ALERT alumni and register for the reunion by January 13, you will receive your unit shirt! Please visit alertacademy.com/reunion for more information.

| Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden "Life often throws us curveballs, and we don’t always have control over how things unfold. What we do have control over is how we respond to those situations. The outcomes we experience in life are often a direct result of the questions we ask ourselves.
- How do I want to be remembered? In planning anything, the best place to begin is with the end in mind. What’s the outcome you want? How do you want the story to end? How do you want people to think of you when you’re gone?
- What matters most? It’s possible you’ve never given yourself permission to ask this question. You spend your time instead tending to others. But what’s important to you? This is about priorities and values. No one else can decide what they are for you.
- What single, brave decision do I need to make today? It can feel daunting to reach for something new. But you don’t have to know all the steps or how everything will play out. You only need to decide on the one thing you can do now to create some movement forward.
Cutting through the confusion of life begins with getting clarity." - Michael Hyatt |
