27 Quotes/Phrases/Thoughts/Lyrics to live by: #25

This quote has been one of my mainstay's for a while now. I find it quite timely tho, in light of recent events in my life. Last night, I was on-call for the evening emergency jobs, and wound up driving to the hospital at midnight:30.. As a terp, there are always those people that - it doesn't matter when you get the call - you'll be there. Then there are those people that you get the call and say, "really? there's no one else who can go?"..  That's when this quote resonates with me:


"Preach the gosple at all times, when necessary use words." - St. Francis of Assisi


And, to be fair, on the scale of: "ugh.. hmm.. eh?.. yup.. YAY" last night was between a "hmm" and an "eh?".. "ER" jobs tho are never timely, and after 2 hours at 2am, just about anyone turns into an "ugh" ;)

As I was driving home, thinking about this quote, I found it ironic that as I realized that my last 5 or 6 ER jobs have been at St. Francis Hospital.. *smile*

When I (as I'm not a night owl) am at my "worst", I'm always amazed how God gently chides me to "fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith.. so that [I] will not grow weary and loose heart.." as I make Christ-like-ness my aim. 

Soli Deo Gloria
