Keep the End in Mind

[…]ahead meant several things. Preparing for Deployment First, we would keep life as normal as possible. Attending church, helping the children with homework, making plans for purchases–we refused to put regular things on hold. Next, we forced ourselves to talk openly about concerns, anxieties, missed celebrations, and the “what ifs.” This included talking to the children, bringing them in on the vision for what God might want to do for us–and through us–in this separation, and allowing them to voice their fears. Finally, it necessitated careful thinking and planning. I wrote Larry letters to take with him. Larry wrote notes […]

The Chaplain’s Role

[…]Lord while deployed. Don’t get me wrong, soldiers do not huddle in large groups for lengthy discussions. These soldiers must perform a fast discussion on a verse or topic, then end in prayer. Sometimes while on patrol, as the soldiers keep a vigilant watch, they ask questions about the Lord. I have learned something very valuable: This ministry is not about me as the chaplain.

With the Love of a Clanging Cymbal

by Eric Creekmore My self-righteousness was coming through loud and clear. A squadron buddy in the process of getting a divorce had just finished telling me of a weekend with his new girlfriend. Technically, he was still married—the papers weren’t yet signed. Trying to be the “good” Christian, I saw this as my opportunity to point out his transgression. After a brief treatise on fidelity and marriage, I punctuated my comments by calling him, “Mr. Immorality.”  That would make clear the error of his ways and with any luck I would soon be leading him in the sinner’s prayer. I […]
