Thoughts from 815.
Hello, everyone.
I am back in the office for a day before heading back to Seattle for my Spring Break. It's not terribly busy here - the rush for APC and ACPE deadlines is over, and I just have a few applications trickling in for people who are doing their work early (which, I must say, I do appreciate very much).
The Rev. David Fleenor, who held my job for the past two years, and who rightly has a great fan base among chaplains, has kindly recommended an Episcopal Chaplain's blog to me: Episcopal Chaplain at the Bedside. It contains Episcopal-y things (like the Primates meeting) but also reflections on being a healthcare chaplain.
Do any of you have other websites you read for and extra helping of help or good humor? If so, please share! The internet has become such a wonderful way for people who are otherwise isolated to communicate.
On a pick-me-up note, there was a cheery article in USA Today about a tennis-star-turned-Episcopal-nun, who has a call to bring little flashes of healing to seriously ill children. Read about her here.
I hope that you all are deepening into the mystery of Lent, and allowing yourselves to rest in the emptiness of this season.
Blessings,
Shelly

Very good to meet you. And thanks for the link to my blog. While of late I've been discussing current Church-wide and Communion-wide concerns, I really am a chaplain, and the blog is intended to reflect on chaplaincy and health care.
As a Past President of AEHC, I appreciate the work of Bishop Packard's office, and the endorsement function you've now become part of. Blessings on your work there, and on all you learn in seminary.
