This is why I'm back at school

I bumped across an article on the New York Times last week that has stuck with me. I told Bob I've been having trouble articulating what it is I want to do after I'm ordained. This article does a better job of saying what it's about than I can seem to muster right now, so I'll do inarticulate grunting sounds and point. As long as it's still up, check out "Hospice Chaplains Take Up Bedside Counseling" http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/nyregion/29hospice.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=hospice%20chaplain&st=cse&oref=slogin

Anyway, there were some other things I wanted to talk about this weekend, starting with my disgust at the person who put the McCain flier in my car door (breaking an entering if you ask me) while I was at church with mom. Sorry, dudes, as a recently re-found friend puts it, while I may be Christian, I'm not "THAT kind of Christian." Oh, and I want to share what I learned about the word "barak" -- not the dude but the Hebrew word. Interesting stuff for another time.

I have a perfectly good rant perking on that bent, but I don't have time or energy for it now. Too much homework and my pesky day job (you know, how I draw a paycheck) to deal with. And besides, one topic per posting seems like plenty and this one is about why I'm hitting the books.

It's a good article. At least it spoke to me.
