What can the Chaplain do for me?
My primary job as Chaplain of the V. L. O. A. is to conduct the Sunday morning worship service at our reunions. In addition, should you have the need to talk with someone who has "been there, done that," I am available to listen.
I have been asked to initiate prayer requests using email from time to time. I thought it might be more effective to post prayer requests here on our web site. So if you know of a family or one of our own in need of our spiritual support, send a simple email request describing the need and the person or family in need, to me at the address below.
If you want to talk, call: 352-341-1390
Send Prayer Requests and other communications to: Maverick36@tampabay.rr.com
God Bless

What, me worry?
I must admit that I am more concerned for our country than I have ever been. I will not go into the details concerning the reasons for my concern. I think that is obvious to anyone who listens to the news or reads the newspapers.
I have worried about the future of this country many times before, as I'm sure many of you have. I am just smart enough to know that all the worry in the world will not solve even one of our problems.
So, what is a soul to do? I don't know what your plans are; however, I plan to seek peace in the Lord. I plan to put some serious prayer effort into those areas that have me worried. And above all, I have turned it over to God.
I will find peace and comfort in the words of the Psalmist: "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety."
