When I Wore S's On My Collar is a collection of selected stories gleaned from the author's life journals over five decades. The stories tell about some of the unforgettable people who impacted his life during his childhood and teen years in Tennessee and the Carolinas and the thirty-one years he served as an officer in The Salvation Army in numerous appointments in the southern United States and the Caribbean. Some of the stories are funny, or at least they caused him to chuckle when the events happened and again when he wrote about them. Some have sad elements, of course, because they deal with loss, loneliness, and hurt. But mostly, they are stories of people who blessed, humored, challenged, inspired, and encouraged him and others. Some were characters, some saints, some both, many of them possessing not only the joy of the Lord but the ability to laugh at circumstances, at self, at the idiosyncrasies and imperfections in even the most pious - seeing humor in both the insignificant and the momentous occurrences of life, but doing so without taking for granted or diminishing the sacredness of things spiritual and eternal.

Autorenporträt
Henry Arrowood served as an officer and ordained minister in The Salvation Army for thirty-one years, the first twelve of which were spent as a corps officer/administrator and pastor in four field appointments in the Carolinas. In the 1980s, he served as regional commander for The Salvation Army in the Bahamas, followed by administrative and leadership positions at the divisional and territorial levels of The Salvation Army USA Southern Territory. The culmination of his ministry and service at the territorial level came as evangelism and adult ministries secretary. In that capacity, Henry also served as the executive producer for the evangelical organization's worldwide radio ministry, Wonderful Words of Life. Henry completed his service as an officer in The Salvation Army in 1998 at fifty-four years of age and began a second career as an assessment, planning, and resource development consultant for The Salvation Army and other non-profit organizations throughout the United States and the Caribbean. In retirement, Henry lives with his lovely wife, Rhenda, and best friend, Rascal (a Maltese), in Mooreland, Oklahoma.
