Spiritual Care

Met a young women who sat across from me in the dining hall today. I thought about speaking to her and finally did. In the course of the conversation, she told me she had thought about speaking to me. I asked if she was a visitor and she said she worked at the hospital. She asked me several questions about what I did in the hospital, if I was married, and had kids. I answered her telling her I was serving some ministry time toward Ordination. She told me she was ordained. I asked her what she needs to do to be ordained. She said you had to have knowledge and be baptized. She said that women were not pastors as this was not biblical and that her husband was an elder in the church. Being and ordained woman she shared the gospel only outside of the church. Interesting!

A Family was with a man who was 62 years old who had actually been a child mentally (Down syndrome) for 62 years. He had a major stroke and was going to hospice. I had prayer with the patient whom the family said could hear. The family said the patient wanted to go to heaven and be with Jesus. They said he loved everyone and would go up to hug people demonstrating his big bear hug.
