Introduction

From the title, you might think this blog would be about sermon delivery or some such thing. If you assumed that, you would be incorrect. I suggest if you spend some time reading, you will get enjoyment and knowledge from what I write here.

My name is Vincent Eagan. I am a Christian preacher and have been thus for over 20 years. My lifestyle and way of doing things has led to me having the opportunity to guest speak in over 100 churches across 30 states, do foreign mission work in Lima, Peru, and be the local preacher for congregations in 6 states. It has also however led to me seeing more than my fair share of unusual circumstances - and it has been the case that I have, at times, had to take up secular work to support myself.

This leads to the subject of this blog.  Most recently I landed in a contracting position I rather enjoy. I contract with a company called "Doordash", which will allow a person, through an app, to choose food from a wide variety of different merchants. The order is then sent to a Dasher - that's me - who will pick it up and deliver it to the customer. All those involved benefit from such an arrangement ... the customer gets food delivered from virtually anywhere in the city, the merchant gets an order they would not have had if they have no delivery service, and the business and Dasher earn a fee.

It works well for me because I have always enjoyed driving, I have complete control over my schedule (allowing me to travel for preaching engagements), and I don't have anyone watching me work over my shoulder - I never have worked well in that position.

From the beginning I have had interesting adventures. Someone once told me she loved when I came back from traveling because adventures always happened to me that didn't happen to other folks.  Frankly, I believe adventure can happen to anyone - it's just in how you perceive and tell about what happened, and whether you pick up on opportunities that become known.

Many of my adventures - an addition to being entertaining - have spiritual application. That is what you will read about here.

Honesty

 One thing I have learned working this job is that there are some people who have no qualms at all about lying. Customers lie: "Tip in ...
