In CPE, we focus on our failures
so that we become better pastoral counselors and chaplains. However, right now,
I need to pat myself on the back. I have had multiple counselings this week
that were intense. And in each case, the sailor reaffirmed my abilities to
counsel and lead them to a better place of understanding and thoughtfulness.
I need to celebrate this week to
offset the times that I fail - - and I
will, or suffer from SWO guilt.
No-one bats 100%. As my father
reminded me, some of the best hitters in baseball only get a hit once every
three times at bat. I'll take this week as a win, celebrate, and go back into
the trenches.
