vesting in the blue coat

Vesting is a peculiar act to me still. It serves as some sort of punctuation. I really cannot describe it.

Tonight I am "tagging along" with one of the staff chaplains...from 5-12:30. It makes for a late night to be certain. I am a little excited and a little nervous. Tonight is a new moon and a Monday. Both, according to hospital lore, suggest a busy night. I guess I will figure out what that means soon enough.

So, on with the long blue lab coat. Interesting vestments.

Peace!

I remember that feeling. Rather like putting on the mantle...

Oh, there's a thought! I bet Robert has one he could loan you...
