Random thoughts, reflections and reactions of a Christian Chaplain in an Air Force Mortuary
Thanks to the encouragement of friends and relatives I am going to make an attempt at the discipline of writing. Some of it will be random thoughts but most will revolve around and flow out of what I am doing, writing and praying at the Dover AFB Mortuary. Thanks in advance for any comments or criticisms.

I'm a pastor. Have been for 30 years. For 27 of those I have also been an Air Force Reserve Chaplain. Three or four weeks a year. What a hoot. Best of both worlds and a 3 week sabbatical every year for 20 years. Then 9/11. Called to active duty at the Dover Port Mortuary for a month. Home for 6 months. Called back to duty for a year. Home for a year. Called back to Dover for another year which turned into four years. Now I have become a civilian chaplain. God had / has a plan.

Woohoo! Dave has a blog!
Now you can call me and I can give you some ideas on setup. You'll probably want to go into your prefs (somewhere) and initiate the comment confirmation thing where you have to enter letters or some such thing. Keeps spammers from commenting all over the thing.
hey, My Brudder the Blogger! I'm impressed...it'll be great to follow your thoughts from day to day. I didn't know you liked Elizabeth George, for example. Man, so do I! It's like we're reLATed or something!

This is a good idea. Your friends, family and others will learn what life is like in the life of a chaplain who is ministering in challenging circumstances. We continue to pray for you
