Long hours at the hospital

 Twenty-eight hours on call.  No, not as a young doctor but as a chaplain trainee.  That is what Jessica has  experienced over the weekend at the North Carolina hospital she is serving all summer.

Most people want the consolation a chaplain can offer when there is a death of a family member or a dear friend.  This was the  second time Jessica has been on call without assistance. Most of the time

 she works a shift.  During her first time on call, she met with families who lost a family member, including a baby and a 15-year-old girl.

Jessica was able to find time to supervise a youth camp for Apex United Methodist Church, where she will be  employed when school begins.
