Chaplain’s discharge blocked for another week

Great news! (But only temporary....) The DC Court of Appeals temporarily delayed my termination from the Navy, (for just one week), until they hear Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt appeal to "please stop the Navy from firing a chaplain for praying in Jesus name." In comments to the ARRA Blog, Kingenschmitt said, "I considers this a small miracle at the eleventh hour, but my career still dangles by a thread since this stay will probably only last a week, Next week, I pray the court of appeals makes a more permanent decision. But for now, God has answered our prayers."
