Spending the summer working at a local hospital in the pastoral care department, I got to hear people talk about God often. Sometimes the things people say are painful, sometimes painfully true, occasionally trite, raw, or insightful. Their stories may be unknown to you, but their pain, fears, faith, or doubt are not. This is a collection of isolated statements without context that were made about, or perhaps to, God that stood out the most from each day I spent at the hospital. They are numbered Day One through Day Fifty, and are followed by a series of reflections from the summer spent doing hospital ministry.

Day Thirty Four

You just live; everyday, one day at a time till the man upstairs says your done.

Day Thirty Three

Well, obviously I’m wondering why, but I’ve been wondering that since my wife passed away 12 years ago. This? This is nothing compared to that.

Day Thirty Two

We just have some choices we have to make now.  God help us, this family just has some really hard choices.

Day Thirty One

I just ask God “Why?. . .Why?”, maybe I shouldn’t ask why, but I just keep doing it.

Day Thirty

Oh God, why did I leave him? I told him I wouldn’t leave him! . . .Why did this have to happen when I stepped away?

Day Twenty Nine

It’s there, is just dormant; you have to talk about the fact that it’s really you thats sick, not someone else. Everyday I set aside time to wrestle with God about the fact that I have cancer.

Day Twenty Eight

We know the odds are against us, but still…we’re praying for a miracle.

Day Twenty Seven

There are nights that I go to bed hoping not to wake up, and when I do, I pray to God that he will forgive me for my sin.

Day Twenty Six

Thank you for letting me tell those stories; I needed to be reminded of God’s presence in my life, and they are such a good way to remember.

Day Twenty Five

I don’t want to die a drunk. God is gracious, but, hell, I don’t want to die as a damn drunk.
