Home

Growing up I used to tell people that “Salvation Army Officer’s Kids don’t have homes” But…

My Parents have been stationed at the same corps for the last 15 years. 15 years in one place in the Salvation Army is beyond unusual it is downright unheard of. In fact there is no Corps Officer (pastor) who has been in their present appointment longer. There longevity has allowed me to:

1. Start High School
2. Finish High School,
3. Go off to college
4. Drop out of college and come home
5. Start another College and move onto the dorms
6. Move home because the food is better (but stay in college)
7. Graduate College
8. Get Married
9. Attend the Salvation Army Seminary
10. Have Open Heart Surgery
11. Have a Baby (actually my wife did that)
12. Receive my first appointment
13. And my second (well technically any I only moved 3 miles and we merged our first church into our second)
14. Perform the wedding for My Sister and her Husband.
15. Preach at my Niece’s Dedication

And they still live in the same house. Ladies and Gentleman, Cambridge MA. Is my home.
