Charlie is married! Charlie is married. I will be married in a week. Nmf.
Tonight I work from 5:00pm-12:30am at the hospital. I don't know how this will go. It is impossible to judge. The day chaplain kept very busy. So, I grabbed a chef salad and a book. I grabbed the salad because it will keep well into the evening. The book is a sign of my wishful thinking and a great deal of prayer.
"Please, Lord, make it a boring night."
We shall see. I am in the ED, and there is a call coming in. I dunno who it is for. Maybe it is for us.

It was not. And it was a very quiet night. I was almost bored. Excellent answering of prayers there, God. Well done!
So, now I can let this cold of mine take me for a day and maybe rest some. I could go to church tomorrow morning, and just may, but I could also lounge around and get some other things done. I have a verbatim to finish for Monday that I did not finish tonight.
Trish is out with some friends. This is night two of the Great Bachelorette Party. Oy. I wonder if I will see her before three. Hah.
And on a completely different note, here's a little something from Thomas Merton.
The importance of detachment from things, the importance of poverty, is that we are supposed to be free from things that we might prefer to people. Wherever things have become more important than people, we are in trouble. That is the crux of the whole matter.This was from Bruderhof again. Posted by tripp at September 18, 2004 06:40 PM
