Hello Friends.  I would like to share a couple of photos with you taken recently when I met the Secretary of the Army the Honorable Peter Geren on November 17, 2008, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen on December 1, 2008 (and receiving the Admiral's coin).  I had the wonderful opportunity to share some of my experiences in the chaplaincy with these men.  

On November 5, 2008 I celebrated my 23rd year as a military chaplain.  
 
Sincerely, Jim
 
James F. Linzey
Chaplain (MAJOR), USA

 In May 1993, Marguerite Hall came to Kansas City, Missouri, from Columbus, Nebraska, to visit her brother Paul Hall and his wife Carol, so some of us "Home Folks" got together at the home of J. Ernest "Arkie" and Eunice Radford.  Back row, left to right: Howard Marshall, Leo Gaston, Geri Gaston, Eunice Radford, "Arkie" Radford, Sam Langwell.  Front row, Marge Marshall, Marguerite Hall, Mariana (Hall) Langwell.  Photo by Jeffrey Hall, Mariana's son whose dad was Delbert Glen Hall.

Since then, four of the group have gone on ahead of us to be with the Lord:  Leo, Eunice, "Arkie" and Sam.

 

Home Folks still like to get together whenever possible. 

Recently Eleanor French was visited in her LaMesa CA home by Paul Raymond and Lloyd & Leona Dailey; Leona snapped this picture.
Paul lives in Shasta CA and the Daileys live in Lakeside CA.

The Holy Spirit by Chaplain (Major) James F. Linzey, D.D., is available from Gospel Publishing House in Springfield, Missouri. 

The Holy Spirit is a comprehensive book examining the baptism, gifts, and fruit of the Spirit.  The book is comprised of Major Linzey's television teaching series on the Holy Spirit from his broadcasts "Operation Freedom," airing in Europe, the southwest and the Philippines.  Frank D. Macchia, D. Theol., editor for Pneuma: the Journal for the Society of Pentecostal Studies, said, "The book is strong medicine for anyone who might think that the Holy Spirit is a raw power that can be manipulated in any way we please."

Major James Linzey has written A Divine Appointment in Washington, D.C.  Major Linzey can be contacted at P.O. Box 300366, Escondido, CA 92030 (760) 685-8491.  His web site is www.operationfreedom.info. 

Chaplain Jim is the son of Verna & Stanford Linzey and recalls being at the Hospitality Home when he was a kid.

Retired Chaplain Stanford E. Linzey, Jr. is the author of The Holy Spirit in the Third Millennium, Handbook on the Holy Spirit: A Guide to the Spirit Within.  The book is described as dealing with "issues surrounding the manifestation of the Spirit in prayer from theological and practical points of view. The treatment is orthodox, yet it is charismatic in tone and practical in presentation. ... It has broad appeal to charismatic, Pentecostal and para-church groups, yet it has reached into evangelical, mainline, Catholic Pentecostal and ecumenical groups because of its reasoned theological and biblical content." 

Howard Marshall has read the book and says, "It’s a practical, down-to-earth Handbook, and I highly recommend it."

Other books by Chp. Linzey are Pentecost in the Pentagon and God Was at Midway.   He’s written two smaller works, "Why I believe in the Baptism with the Holy Spirit" and "Filling Your Boots," a guide for young people entering military service. You can find Chp. Linzey's books at Amazon.com.

You may download a copy of "O Glory Be to God." a hymn written by Rev. Linzey; please click here.
