Last weekend, we went to Portland and conducted a 3-day Strong Bonds Couples retreat. And, a friend and I went to the famously known bookstore. Powell’s City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books.

Today, we had a Chaplain’s training conference in Kandahar, Afghanistan. In the morning, we spent the training session with 82nd Airborne Division. In the afternoon, we spent the training session with the 3-2 Stryker Brigade. Not only did I enjoy awesome fellowship with fellow Chaplains, but also I was stimulated by the good training. Saying this, we, Chaplains live in a different world than most of our counterpart faith leaders in the Christian community. Our … Continue reading
