Long before it was a popular thing to say or the movie, "Pay It Forward," I knew about it. I was bussing tables in the dining hall at my college and met this older lady. We chatted and the next thing I knew, she was giving me $200 a month. It was incredible, a life line and changed my life. She said, "one day, you will have a chance to pay me back by reaching out to someone else." I have had those chances often.

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.
