I can only imagine

I had never heard that song from Mercy Me until my co-worker Jason propped himself up on the bench at work with his guitar.  It became one of my favorite videos of all time.  Michael W Smith became another favorite.  I was raised in a church where we only sang the usual Old Rugged Cross sort of stuff.  As I have aged, I embrace contemporary Christian music thanks to Jason Denman.  He was a medical technologist who figured out early on that there is no money in doing hospital work because the pay is pitiful for MTs.  We earned Bachelor Degrees the hard way at allied health facilities and well...nursing got all the big bucks.  I have no ill will about that because they are at the center of the universe when it comes to caring for patients.  

Nurses do not only work in the hospital or office setting.  Many of them do home health or hospice care.  A good home health team includes a nurse, a PT and lots of others.  Bath folks.  Sitters.  OT and PT and many others.  Mobile x-ray techs.  DME suppliers.  Spiritual advisers and neighbors.  When push comes to shove, we believe in making life easier for those who are in need.   This week of being homebound has been a challenge.  We all get impatient when we can't just get up and go.  But, it has been a healing time for me.  I have had everything I need thanks to friends and family.  

Anyway, it's just a thought as Belle would say,  Y'all don't stop believing ^j^
