As the "Real" link at www.opendoorcommunity.net puts it, I am bi-vocational, which is a fancy term that means I have a job in addition to being the Pastor of Open Door.
I serve as a Chaplain at two local hospitals and two local long-term-care facilities (commonly called "nursing homes"). As you can imagine, I have spent a lot of time working with nurses in these facilities. I have watched them laugh at the funny things patients and families do; I have heard them privately vent their frustration over non-compliant patients; and I have watched them weep with families at the death of a loved one. Good nurses are some of the most amazing people I know, and they are among my heroes.
This coming week (beginning May 4) is Nurses' Week. If you know a nurse, thank them for their service.
I have the honor of officiating at a "Blessing of the Hands" ritual at one of the hospitals Monday morning. Please pray with me that it will be a meaningful time to the nurses who participate.
"Happy Nurses' Week", and God bless you as you allow God to minister through you.
