My first day is in the books and things are under way. It is still hard to believe that I am in the Army and that I am a Chaplain. Tonight I got the haircut to go with it, so it must be official.
I began my day with an incredible worship service at the chaplain school. Pictured below is a Lt. Col. who led the service. He is pictured here administering the Lord's Supper to a family. I am going to like this Chaplain. He preached a great message as well.
This picture is of our classroom. There are 133 students in the class now and it will swell to over 170 in four weeks. This is the largest chaplain class ever. Praise God!We were in class today from 3:00 until about 6:00. Today was basic orientation, paperwork, and learning about formations. Tomorrow we will start our day at 5:30. It is 11:15 now so I will call it a night. Thanks for your prayers.

Good luck! I look forward to reading your blog while you are there. My husband is there (I believe I spotted him in your picture, but it's hard to tell.). His name is Chris Harmon, and we're from the same neck of the woods (Harriman, TN). I'll be praying for your family as you are away, as well as for you and all of the Chaplains and Chaplain Candidates.

That looks like CH (Maj) Crisp in the second photo. Did he get promoted? Or am I looking at the wrong guy?

Hmmm... I take that last comment back... maybe it's not CH Crisp. Hard to tell.
Amy, that is indeed Chaplain (Maj) Crisp. He is a great chaplain and I know I am going to enjoy him these next twelve weeks. Thanks for the comments!
Rachel, thanks for the comment and your prayers. I have met your husband and I am looking forward to getting to know him more. I will be praying for you as well as you tend the home fires. God Bless!
Mark, You're right, CH Crisp is great. He was my SGL. Tell him I said hi!
