My husband's a sheriff's chaplain!

The Lord has opened up the door for Steve to serve as a sheriff's chaplain for Richland County here in Columbia. Today he was sworn in at the sheriff's office and received his badge. He will be serving in region 4 of Richland County. This means he will be doing ride alongs, be available for counseling of officers and their families, some victim support, as well as being on-call for the county a week at a time every two months or so. We are really excited about the ministry opportunities that this will afford with the officers.
