Air Force Chaplain (Maj) Jeff Granger wrote an interesting article entitled “Confession of a Chaplain: I shouldn’t be here<\/a>.”\u00a0 In short, he left active duty to become a chaplain, but then found himself ineligible for the chaplaincy through a confluence of events.\u00a0 As often happens, the needs of the Air Force changed, and he was able to re-enter the Air Force as a chaplain.<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting commentary on being where God wants you to be<\/a> — even if you don’t feel <\/em>that you are.<\/p>\n

The conversation that took place in the comments on the article were interesting as well.\u00a0 Two samples:\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\nok…so can we get an article from a muslim priest or a jewish rabbiah or someone who is wiccan. If spiritual-Fitness doesnt involve religion then how come it is always the Christians that [hog] the spot light highlight all religions or non at all.<\/p>\n

\nIt would be nice to see an article on spritual wellness from someone who isn’t a person of faith. I’m not knocking the chaplain or his article…I’m only pointing out that spiritual wellness is a part of a non believer’s life too and I’ve never seen any training or articles that address that aspect of it.<\/p>\n

To be fair, the military\u00a0actually <\/a>has<\/a> <\/em>addressed spiritual wellness<\/a> as it applies outside of religion, but the authorship question is interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Think someone who isn’t a person of faith, or a Christian, should write an article?\u00a0 Excellent idea.<\/p>\n

Why not write one?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
