Happy Monday!
Geni just left to
spend her first night in her apartment.
We gathered in our living room after dinner and gave her our blessing
and sent her on her way with the reminder that her key still fits our
door.
From Jesus
Calling, June 11 “Trust Me and don’t be afraid for I am your Strength
and Song.” I told my family to look
at my face tonight because in a short while they may not see it very
often. I have hospital and CPE
Orientation for the next couple of weeks and then the race is on.
I am currently
assigned to the Nursing Home (there is a nursing facility on the campus) and
overflow floor for the Progressive Care Unit (a step down unit from ICU as
patients get better). I have a weekday “on-call” at Huguley and John Peter Smith. I am doing my weekday on-call duty on
Wednesdays. I will do Huguley on one
Wednesday and JPS the next Wednesday beginning June 20 and ending on August
15. I will have weekend on-call in both
hospitals also. At Huguley the weekend
on-call is 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. JPS is
6:00 pm until 8:00 am. When I am not on
call I do my regular assignments at Huguley.
There are ten people
in my CPE group. They are of different ethnicities, genders, ages and
denominations. Some members of the group
are residents and some are interns.
Residents are chaplains assigned to these two hospitals for a year. Those
people receive a salary. Interns work
for 10 weeks and earn credit hours. They
are all very nice people and lots of fun.
Prayer: As I awake this morning, O Lord, I give You
praise for another day of life. Thank
You, Father, that I can live for You because Your Son, Jesus died for me! May my life be a living sacrifice for You,
and may my actions glorify Your name. Amen.”
“But you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he is not His.”
Romans 8: 9
The apostle Paul had
been trained in the formalities of the Law.
But it was not until Paul’s Road to Damascus experience that he understood the presence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Paul wrote “if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation because he no longer
lives in the flesh, but in the newness of God’s Spirit.” Paul knew that before a person can be in
Christ that they must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes and get
some sleep. Count your blessings and say
your prayers. Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene,
Geni and Travis.
I am not moved by what
I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I
believe God.
