Title: Deep Impact


Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a


As I write this, I will be away from my family for a few weeks with limited communication. It’s drawn my mind to reflect on the last few hours I had with my wife and kids.


Were the hours that were spent building them up? Did my words paint a picture of how much I love them, how proud I am, and how I will miss them?

We don’t know what the day holds. We don’t know what last words, phrases, or gestures will leave a profound impact on what we remember or how we are remembered.


Real men use their words to build…and a whole lot more…to build up others.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
