    Thanks Dan for the kind words. I have not been a chaplain long but I wish I got into being a chaplain years ago. I guess that I did not have the right pull to get into the fire dept. But the important thing now is that I am in and you are right.....making a difference for those in need. God bless and thank you again for the kind words. Keep in touch!!!!
