You know, there’s a lot of reasons why I love being a chaplain. Let me share my “Top Ten” Things…

10. You get a cool nickname like “Chap” and it has nothing to do with waxy lip balms, cowboys or rough hands.

9. You know where all the bathrooms are in the hospital.

8. You have tested all the brands of tissues, and “Puffs” wins. The nose knows.

7. Free parking.

6. You can badge-in to any place in the hospital.

5. You can beg leftover cookies from the kitchen staff.

4. The housekeeping staff will let you try driving the “waxing zamboni” when no one is looking.

3. There’s always time for prayer.

2. You get to wear one of those cool pagers like you see on “House”.

1. You get to see God work every day.
