The Sermon Book

by Chaplain Andrews on February 16, 2010

While we are slowly unpacking all of our belongings from our recent move, I was at the breakfast table complaining to Monica about being still unable to find some of my books.

Me: “My Slide:ology book is somewhere in the attic.”

Monica: “Oh, is it?”

Me: “Yes, it is with my Sermon Book.”

My daughter, MC: “Daddy, your sermon book is your Bible!”

I pray that I will be constantly reminded that no matter what tools I use to improve my preaching—the sermon book truly remains to be my Bible.

Little Green Jeep

by Chaplain Andrews on February 11, 2010

On my desk sits an old Army Jeep replica.

Monica gave it to me as a part of our first Valentine’s Day together when we were dating. The little jeep has sat on my desk year after year place after place.

It always reminds me of her and her support for me and my calling. This support is monumental in my work. It is what gives me piece when I get on another plane to go to another place—with or without her. Her encouragement gets me out of bed sometimes and keeps me moving forward.

And it all started while we were dating…

…with a little jeep to go on my desk.

I am always amazed at the drivers who insist on driving fast.

In some regard, I understand the Northerner that is an “expert” in driving in the snow. I [...]
