ministry

Just a quick note - I've got to get to bed as I'm driving our provincial to the airport in the wee hours of the morning. She's been here for the weekend, checking in with the 2 of us novices from the Western Province. It was good to touch base and spend some quality time with her. And I'm ok with getting up before the crack of dawn as it will be good to start my day early tomorrow, which promises to be an exciting day ...

Tomorrow afternoon I start my new ministry. For a few hours a week I will be working with the Pastoral Care department of our hospital in a nearby 'burb. This is not something I've ever done, although I have spent lots of time in hospitals when certain parental units were sick. But the idea for our ministry this year was to do something that would "stretch" us, and I thought that hospital ministry would definitely do that for me. I'm excited, but we'll see how it goes. Stay tuned ....

(and yes, I recognize I found more news fit to print!)
