Title: More than a plaque

As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15

I’ve been in countless homes that have this verse displayed somewhere. And for the most part, those were great homes with really good people.

But what does this mean? For Joshua, it mean leading his family into a tremendous amount of uncertainty. All he had were the promises that God had given Moses and Abraham; and he hung all that he had on those promises.

For Joshua this wasn’t a nice catch-phrase that went on a nice plaque above his kitchen sink. It was what described his family.

Is that you and your household? Is it to that level of devotion? If so, how do you know you are doing it? Bring this up with your family and/or close friends. Get practical with the application of it, and don’t be afraid to make big changes to align yourself with what God is leading you to do.

Real men are resolved to serve.

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.
