"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ." (Col. 3:23-24)

Founded in the 1860s by William Chancellor, the Chancellor Ferry was in constant operation across the Coosa River between Harpersville and Childersburg, Alabama for some seventy years. Walter Chancellor and his two brothers worked the ferry in its latter days. 

As 2016 rapidly approaches, I'm asking the Lord for my work orders over the new year - one assignment being the publication of a new storybook - A Chancellor Ferry Tale, set in 1935 along the Coosa River at the peak of the Great Depression.

No matter who signs our pay checks, for Christians, our ultimate Boss is Jesus. Got your work orders? Seek the Lord!
