Need a chaplain?

This from Dale Jenkins’s Facebook wall:

About 10:40 last night many of us at the hospital gathered around dad’s bed and Jeff led a moving prayer. If you know our family at all, you can imagine there were 7 preachers in the room.  About 3-4 minutes later dad drew his last breath. Moments later, a young and compassionate male nurse walked in the room.  He was not intrusive and wanting to be so very helpful. In a reverent and tender voice he asked: “Can I call you guys a chaplin?”  The room roared with laughter. But I can only imagine the laughter of joy that occurred around the throne and/or among the many who greeted our dad on the other side…

Thank each of you who loved dad and who now weep and rejoice with us.
