The soul of a firefighter is a complicated thing. Of course the soul of anyone is a subject that is filled with wonder, questions, and confusion. I think though, that the spiritual being of a firefighter, their very soul is even more complicated because of everything they face.

Books for Emergency Service Families
I am a book junkie, especially when it comes to my office. I really like to have a lot of resources relating to the work that I do as a chaplain on hand. I have learned quite a bit from reading various titles on grief, trauma, traumatic stress, abuse, and fire & police families. I have learned a lot in my education but there is always room to learn more. Reading books helps me better myself as a chaplain.

Honor Guard
As you can see from this post I survived yet another plane ride. Hooray! Both flights were actually very good flights with hardly any turbulence. I definitely didn't feel like the wings were about to break off and I could understand what the pilot and the flight attendants were saying, so all in all it was a good flight.

Back From Hiding Under My Rock
I haven't been around in a while. Things have gotten pretty crazy busy! I am still hanging out at http://adoptionandfire.typepad.com and at www.firefighterministries.org. We have many new programs we are hoping to add for injured emergency workers.
Anyway, just wanted to apologize to those of you who I have yet to respond to. I am trying to catch up! I promise!
