Working nights at a level 1 trauma center gives me a new appreciation for the kinds of folks who can just power through one severe patient trauma after another and still take time to smile at me and get to know me. #chaplainlife #hospitallife
As a chaplain, I learned that people don’t need advice—they need to feel felt. I wrote about 9 ways to listen in a way that makes space, not noise. constantcraving.substack.com/p/how-to-lis...

Not like I didn't already appreciate hospital workers, but after two weeks (only 4 actual days) as a chaplain intern, holy heck are healthcare folks amazing. I wish our society lauded and rewarded the right people. #ChaplainLife

"Snowstorm at Emory Hospital, but blessed to be a chaplain here. Grateful for a safe hotel stay with good food, warm drinks, and a peaceful view of the pretty snow outside. Sometimes, even in the storm, there's a reminder of grace. #ChaplainLife #Snowstorm #EmoryHospital"
A string of Christmas lights where each bulb has been placed inside a prescription bottle, and the whole thing is strung up across the front desk of a hospital ER.
I am thoroughly impressed by whoever made this #holidaylights display in the ER of the #hospital where I work! #chaplainlife #todaysoffice

Working at the #hospital tonight. Non-meat dinner options were #carbs as entree (pasta), carbs as a side (mashed potatoes), carbs as vegetable (sweetcorn), or carbs as dessert. I chose #dessert, which was also the only option with #protein! #pecanpie #happythanksgiving #chaplainlife ##todaysoffice
