A few months ago, I saw the baseball movie with Clint Eastwood. He is a scout. Not much of a movie. Plot as thin as a piece of NC country ham but the story is one of missed opportunities.
Here's a war story that is only slightly related to Ball State. When I was in College trying to be a football player, the Coach talked to us about going back to our High School trying to recruit friends, etc. We had this guy, son of one of my teachers--I talked him into coming to my college. They literally ignored him. I did what I could but it was obvious that the coach's interest was zero. The guy goes to UNC becomes an All American. I wanted somebody from Ball State to recognize him, who had it all: good grades, handsome, great athlete. How lucky they would be. They could put the rush on. They did nothing. The officials had their heads up their posterior. "Ball State who?"

Serves Communion in Vietnam
The Chaplain is unique among clergy. He or she is primarily a religious person whose skills often involve an implied spiritual undertone to the personal skills brought to the helping profession. There are military, hospital, and prison chaplains among others. The chaplain is often called the "poor man's psychiatrist." This blog will be mostly comments of a general nature, comments of my friends who email me. We'll stick to mostly issues that have some sort of spiritual context.
