Why yes, I am a federal civil servant. Thanks for not asking. As the program chair in the Emergency Management Planning program at Lakeland did ask me this lately, I should mention what future career plans may be. Heck, with the sudden firing of a bureau chief over in one of the other executive departments tonight things remain tense in the executive branch. It is always useful to plan. In my case I am trying to stand up the Domestic Mission Field Activity at my church. Beyond the typical missionary works you might expect of such a body, the Activity is also intended to act as a Voluntary Agency for the purposes of Emergency/Disaster Management. Churches typically help in disasters, after all, in the USA context. People generally forget that the Salvation Army is a paramilitary Christian organization of folks who are not quite mainstream Methodists, after all. Folks who might want to contribute financially to creating the startup seed for having such a help base rooted in northeast Ohio where it might be deployable to other areas can write to Elmer Ford & Hays Wood, West Avenue Church of Christ, 5901 West Avenue, Ashtabula, Ohio, 44004. The USA has been lucky to have ducked so many hurricane seasons lately that we are overdue to get hit and congregations within my tradition generally engage in ad hoc support whenever that happens. Building a base for the future for response would be a work that could be called good, I suppose. The metaphorical Sword Of The State has been very heavy to bear as of late in my current job and I want to lay it down some day.
