The Nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A Word of Wisdom flies in a straight line for a target
A Word of Knowledge is as a nugget of treasure
Faith rises where fear had already fallen a long time ago
Gifts of Healing comfort and flow and touch with warmth
Working of Miracles extend out to shock the natural
Prophecy bellows and then retreats for internal reprieve
Discerning of Spirits has subtle eyes that see the truth of light and the deceiving darkness
Diverse Kinds of Tongues declare the words of communion into the spiritual realm
Interpretation of Tongues understands the riddles flowing free
All the gifts of the Holy Spirit are fitted together as a wing that sails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Corinthians 12:8-10 says, "for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues."

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
