VTS 07 Summer CPE

A place where I, Steve, can selfishly blog and hopefully have some friends along with me. Our focus this summer will be dealing with CPE (Church Punishes Everyone) and the trauma that goes with being a chaplain, being in community, and group process/group think. All are invited, and if you've run across us please do jump aboard.

nothing jumps out

nothing in the readings really jumped out at me tonight, but I did want to check in and talk to myself for a while. Thanks to Jill for taking part in this relatively failed experiment. I have enjoyed hearing your cpe story from afar (where are you again?). As for me, today, I'm feeling pretty good about my Monday. Residents are difficult to track down and verbatims just feel like cheating when I do them during clinical hours, but I got to spend time with two wonderful women. Two women very much in touch with their own mortality (even wishing somedays it would come quickly), but nevertheless two women with a deep joy in God's blessing them with such bountiful lives. I'm not a good intercessory pray-er, but it isn't hard for me to give thanks and to offer prayers each day for these two fantastic women.

Steve, you aren't talking to yourself. I read what you and Jill write. Haven't blogged myself since I'm not doing CPE, but your words make me feel connected. Thanks for taking on this ministry.

No writing is ever a "failed experiment" - I've loved reading what you all have to say
