Car Bomb Monologue

Superior Essays
NICK
All alone with my thoughts. Just last month I was on the top of the world; in an exotic country of sand, camel spiders and terrorists. Even that was better than the present; I’m left only with a head to think and my heart to beat. That fucking car bomb left me a gimp… one arm, one leg, and charred more than a steak that was left on the grill a bit too long. It wouldn’t be too bad if I had a family to support me, unfortunately I wanted to wait until I finished my tour before I found a wife. That’s the kind of man I am, or use to be, the kind of man that cares about the woman I love before I even met her, now I’m just a freak.
HEATHER
It’s a bit cloudy today… here in California we don’t get much rain, but today looks hopeful. I’m on my way

I now live my life through my three daughters and my hospital. I decided to build this hospital to house those in dire needs; those that would otherwise not live. Don’t get me wrong, I do not wish to dabble in the work of god, but if it is his will that my patients live then I will see to it that they do not live in a sea of debt. I thought it would be a nice surprise to go up to the hospital and have a nice lunch with my daughter. I will wait, however, because I can see that she is busy.
MEETING
“Hello there Mr….” Heather looked down at the chart searching to find her veteran patient’s name. “Ah Mr. Thomas, my name is Heather and I will be helping you with your meals today. I may be in and out, but if you need anything you just ring this bell. I know it’s a bit old school but-“
“Its.. It’s fine ma’am. Please call me Nick”. He said in a struggling painful manor gazing upon her as she was absolutely beautiful. Her hair was a natural dark brown. It was curled just a little with a low finish of some hair product, reflecting the fluorescent light from the hospital’s cheap industrial lights in all different directions. Her eyes, her soft blue eyes somehow peering into his soul seeing his pain, his

You give me a healthy body, and you take it away. You give me a joyous spirit and you take it that away too. Now you give me love and you try to take it? HA! You THINK you’ve bested me. I want my health back. I want my spirit back. I want love. I’ll fight for it all, because damn it I’ve been too ashamed to know that I still deserve it. Now I’ve found someone that has it and not only that has it but can give it to me. So now I say to you God I’ll fight; for me, for her, for fighting’s sake ill fight and I’ll win. I’ve got to go now, I hear her calling for me. See you later, I’m going to go

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief.

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
