Anytime you follow someone who uses the word "Viagara" in their communion thoughts - whatever you preach about looks better. I agree with Christopher too. Except for the whole traffic, humidity, and the fact that it is the Texans thing. And Astroworld isn't exactly my favorite place (3 summers of taking my youth group there will do that to a man) but I'm right there with him with the whole Pappasito's, and Pappadeaux deal.

Doctors are encouraged to bring faith into their doctor /patient relationships. Some make it a habit of praying with those patients who are willing. On my last visit, I got to attend one of those devotionals and was blown away at the spiritual depth of many of those doctors.

I wish I could have seen the White Coat Ceremony. I've been a nurse for 27 years and still remember the high ideals I started out with in our capping ceremony. (Back then nurses wore starched white uniforms and the white cap which seemed to bring us a measure of respect.) Our speakers also encouraged us to keep that spirit of altruism and nurturing which can keep this vocation from becoming "just a job". I'm blessed to work for a Baptist hospital which encourages us to live out our Christianity with our patients. I hope the same for Matt. The other observation is how affluent our kids are compared to where we started 33 years ago. Are we the only ones who lived in a little one-bedroom frame house with a leaky roof and no insulation? Our son and his bride live in a wonderful apartment adjacent to the arena where the Mavericks play. The "west end" on the other side. I'm glad they're blessed, but our path wasn't so bad, at least looking from this end of the journey.... A couple of unrelated things ring a bell here.
