Mars Hill Church Seattle

As a Chaplain I get the privilage of preaching every week to America's newest soldiers. Every week I dive into God's Word to proclaim the truth. I spend so much of my time minsitering the one thing I have found is that I need to be ministered to. I have to get creative on that front. I don't really have a pastor here. I ahve friends but I don't have regular teaching I can sit under and grow in God's word. There's something about the preached Word that really changes us. I recently got my ipod and discovered the world of Podcasts. One comes from a church out in Seattle. I've sort of adopted their Pastor as mine. Every week I download his sermons to my high tech device. I like the way he brings the message. He's studied, but contemporary. He's funny yet always challenges me to think. If you too are like me and need a boost of good, free, Biblical teaching click the link below. If you live in the Seattle area go check out Mars Hill Church. Pastor Mark is preaching through the book of 1 Corinthians right now and the series is titled "Christians gone wild!" Isn't that a hoot. If you've read 1 Corinthians you know that is the truth. So study God's Word, with technology we just don't have any excuses anymore not to hear great teaching.
Blessings to everyone today!

Serendipity

Encarta's dictionary defines serendipity as this: a natural gift for making useful discoveries by accident. I sort of disagree with that definition but to that in a moment. We just never know what each day holds. I was at my desk working away and at trying organize my messy world when a gentleman appeared at my door. He asked, "Is there a Chaplain around?" I said, "Right in front of you!" He asked if I had a moment and I agreed. He sat down on my couch and immediately began to cry. He was in his late 40's I suspect. Turns out he was retired from the Army and on this day had no where else to go. He's a carpenter and just drove onto Ft Jackson looking for some help. He looked me square in the eye and said, "I'm feeling like killing myself" He shared his story with me, one of betrayal and pain and loss. Turns out he tried to kill himself three years ago and was in a coma for 10 days, but lived. His story was heartbreaking. I prayed to God, ...

I get to meet and make friends with some hilarious people in the Army. Many could have sob stories that are truly legitimate then others just seem to make the best of things and their situations. My friend Mark was out of the Army in the Individual Ready Reserve for over 12 years. That means he was out, like not ever putting on a uniform. He had a great job, a great wife and a gaggle of kids. But in December he gets a letter in the mail saying, "Welcome back! And oh by the way its involuntary, you are going to Iraq" (my paraphrase). Instead of ducking the mission, instead of griping and complaining, Mark chooses to laugh and make others laugh. I thank God for him and others like him in these trying times. I hope you will as well! Enjoy....by the way, its really hot in Kuwait in case you were wondering!
