GDrive Update | Computer Department
The server hosting the GDrive crashed Thursday during the power outage. We now have a new server built and the GDrive is back in operation. We are grateful for the timing on this issue. First, because it was close to the weekend, we had more time to develop and execute a good plan. Second, it alerted us to potential future problems that we now plan to resolve before they happen. Thank you for your patience and prayers. We greatly appreciate them.
Staff Sale
For those of you who would like to start going through your homes, the Weiss' are planning on doing another multi-family garage sale sometime this spring. Exact date and details to come. 
Cathie's Courage Marathon
Registration for the 5th Cathie's Courage Marathon is now open! If you're interested in participating, please sign up by Monday, March 4 so we can order enough shirts. Share with your friends!
Journey to the Heart
The Journey to the Heart office is excited to invite any staff young people to attend the Big Sandy Journeys in the spring of 2019 at no cost. We hope this invitation gives interested individuals enough time to arrange their schedules for the new year. If you would like to participate, please contact Gabe Cleator at ext. 2152 or email gcleator@iblp.org. 
Battalion Update | Maj. Boulden
ERT will complete their High Angle Rescue training this week, dividing into two groups next Monday to continue their training in Rescue Systems, Fire Fighting, etc. MRT continues to help in preparations for ALERT's Reunion coming up this weekend, while EMT's continue to perfect and practice their skills as they run their clinical rotations on the Ambulances and the ER. The Leadership Class presented their speeches last week and were very grateful to everyone who came out in support of them. They will be finishing up their writing and worldview classes this week in preparation for their DC trip.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
As we prepare for the reunion and to interact with our alumni, I was reminded of Christ's words in Matthew 23. Jesus gave a severe warning to the leaders centuries ago that challenges us to this very day. In short: Be careful to practice what you preach. Be careful of showiness. Be careful of entitlement. Be careful of being one thing on the outside and another on the inside. Learning this kind of wisdom takes time; may we surrender our wills and listen to Jesus, for this is the essence good leadership.
