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.

the Lord indeed does wonders

You are the Lord who does wonders:
You have declared your power among the peoples.

My verbatim group had our mid-unit evaluation meeting today. I know what you are thinking, "isn't it kinda late for a mid-unit eval?" That's exactly what we were all thinking, but i'm not going to argue with my CPE supervisor, are you? But Ruth isn't your typical CPE supervisor, she has a real heart for God, for CPE students, and for the priesthood. Her goal isn't to make us into 9 future chaplains; no, she wants us to develop into the best priest's we can be with the help of a Benedictine model to CPE. The Lord has done wonders for me so far this summer, and I have no doubt He will continue to do so. Today's little wonder occured when Ruth told us why we had mid-unit's so late. "We spent to weeks after little Alice died starting over, so here we sit really at the middle of our new unit." Thanks Ruth, I think we all needed that time to start over, to heal, and to be open again to the power of God declared to His people.
