I guess it's ok to brag on myself a little bit.....
A few months ago I started the application process to be a chaplain within my agency (the Oklahoma Department of Human Services). We are the only state agency that has chaplain's for it's employees and their families. It's a long process (and should be) and last week I was called and offered a spot! Woo hoo! Being a chaplain is an entirely voluntary position and is considered above and beyond my regular duties. I have been assigned to visit DHS employees/families who are in the hospital and in long term care facilities. This is such a great opportunity for ministry! I am very excited. In fact, when I was called and told I was accepted, they gave me my first assignment so I hit the ground running.
I'll still answer to "Rachel," but if you really want my attention you may address me as "Chaplain Morse" or "Chaplain Rachel." Wow. Weird.

this is great! congrats!
Woo hoo!! See, Princeton's got nothing on you - you still minister in your own way every day. I don't know if you've read Chutney's blog recently talking about ordained ministry vs. the priesthood of all believers, but there's a lot to think about there. We all find our own way, and I'm glad you've found yours. I'm proud of you!
All hail her holiness, Queen of the Universe, the light Divine! I am pleased for you. I just wish Pastafarianism http://venganza.org/ was more organized so I could aspire to reach the upper echelons. Oh, well: I guess I'll just have to content myself by watching the stripper factory and kicking it old school by the beer volcano.
