Me (in a text to my mom): "How should I dress for this party? Like a suit?" My Mom: "No, super casual." Me: “Okay, see you soon!” [And then I'm in jeans and she is in a dress] 🤪😂. Anyway...

In May of 2014 I began my first shift as a chaplain intern with Penn State Hershey Medical Center — then did a post grad residency here — then spent a few years on staff as an associate chaplain. Today, almost exactly 5 years later, was my last on-call shift. 💙#WeArePennState #Chaplain (at Penn State Hershey Medical Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwvQWKjB-AV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y2o5qinu2w0m

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about.
