I'm enjoying my time at Fort Jackson as much as can be expected. Army training environments are never exactly the most fun you will have in a year, but they're always beneficial. I've had a blast meeting a bunch of other chaplains and getting to know them.
And although I miss my family a great deal, our perspective is shaped by the fact that I could be deployed overseas for a year, so it's not all that bad.
I'll begin regular blogging again when I am done in December, I simply don't have the time right now while juggling all of the various training events during the day and civilian writing commitments on weekends. But it will be great to dig into how warriors are spiritually nurtured when I get back.
One thing I have neglected to mention to everyone is that I do consulting and conceptual editorial work in addition to my own writing. If you are a budding writer and are looking for professional help, feel free to contact me at lionofwarauthor@gmail.com
