Cliff I am keeping my day job as the assistant manager of a public water utility. It pays the bills. As for chaplain work I am already working as a volunteer in a homeless shelter/rehab center, Union Gospel Mission in Spokane Washington. I am also working with a pastor at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls Idaho in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Corrections to start a pilot program for parolees who are are recently released and are Heroin and Meth users. I am also working with that same pastor to be groomed to take over the Deaf ministry at that church but not really in a chaplain’s role.
Without pictures it didn’t happen
Look what came in the mail today. OK yes I am proud, I know I am supposed to be humble, but dang it I hope he forgives me a little boasting.
You have every right to be proud and boast. I know that took a lot of hard, dedicated work to achieve. We are all proud of you.
Very Nice Devon! Great Job!! Also nice to be able to put a face to a name… (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif)
A different view of Devon … Nice job My Friend!
you made the effort, you have the right to brag.
a good boss woun’t be disturbed by that.
(it’s only those employees, that stop the efforts, but not the bragging, that are badly received)
Again congrats on that achievement.
Ah, we finally have a legitimate, card carrying padre in our midst…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Have Fred loan you his robes.
Well gosh darn Devon, you done goooooood!
Have you given a thought to working with your local Police Dept. They are generally in need of Chaplins to help with Disrupted Family issues.
Congrats…

Yeah actually that has come up. I would love to work as a police chaplain. My local police department is a 100% volunteer staff made up of local established pastor. I am not as of yet in that capacity with my local church. We are working on it, but we are not there yet. I also have met and found out that the chaplain for the Sheriffs office goes to my church and he is paid staff of the dept. but they do utilize volunteers.
Right now the next thing in this progression is for me to work with my local church and see where I fit in with their needs. I am fairly new to this church and they are a large church and the wheels move a bit slow. But I am working with two pastors there and I believe things will develop as they should.
Which Devon? This Devon?..Our Devon? This means he is more educated than I am. I will feel self-conscience about criticizing him.
Oh well, congratulations buddy! We are all elevated by the achievements of the members of our group.

Well I don’t know what your reluctance is Mr K, personally I’ve never had a problem criticizing people who are more educated, holier, smarter, infinitely richer, more qualified, or all of the above, than I am.
I’m worried … ya look way too skinny to make it through the winter you’re getting this year! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

I am supremely confident we do not have to worry about any of those things.

It happens occasionally, not often, and usually by accident.
