Pl...Garrett, thank you very much for your thoughts. Please feel free to comment on anything I write. You bring a sense of practicality that I need here at Navy Christian. <br /><br />As to your question, the simple fact is that we need good Chaplains. There aren't many of me in the trenches so to speak, but there aren't many men who are good chaplains either. My advice is that, if you're able, become a chaplain and train men like me to do the job I do. That is practical ministry at its best and it's what I'd be doing if I were able.The Navy Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116964729906856912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219411120276420163.post-40629445219117737112011-06-15T11:39:08.851-04:002011-06-15T11:39:08.851-04:00Hey Dan, my name is Garrett and I am new to your b...Hey Dan, my name is Garrett and I am new to your blog. I just want to say I really appreciate your thoughful insights into Navy life from a Christian perspective. I am a former sailor and was saved during my time in. I am now a Bible College student and was considering coming back in as a chaplian but thought that i could be much more useful as a regular sailor doing what you call "being a missionary/mentor to sailors." I was wondering if maybe you had any words of wisdom on this. As far as your concerns with being "theologically weak", I can relate with this, because I also have realized that my gifts are not in the area so much of being a great homilitician or theologian but God has givin me a great passion for the more practical things such as missions and evangelism. So, I would say go where God has called and gifted you to go. There is much need within our churches for men with vision and a heart for reaching out, and I would fair to say this is where your heart is. I trust God will give you clarity on this brother. Take care and God Bless!*gfinch*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03261759595150309669noreply@blogger.com
