Exodus 17:1-7
Chaplain Trent called on Kay for two days. She remained in the hospital after surgery
discovered she was, as her husband said, "full of cancer." Kay, however, wasn't very
communicative with Trent.
On the day she was to return home, presumably to die soon, Trent tried again with long
pauses to help Kay to share her thoughts and feelings. She said, "I've followed Jesus since
I was twelve -- in my family, as a teacher, and in my neighborhood. I just don't think this
is what's coming to me."
