What do you do at HDC?
One of my favorite things to do is hold the door open on the weekend!!
Other than that, I mostly just talk to people (in the lobby, in the hospital, in a crisis, in a class, or at a funeral) – then I pray with them and send them on their way.
What is on your iPod?
Don’t have an iPod, but would probably have lots of praise & worship, lots of instrumental background music and movie soundtracks, probably some bluegrass, some country, some celtic, some “thinking” music like Michael Card and Chris Rice, lots of Christmas music, and maybe some hymns and classical, and a little bit of everything that others want me to try.
