Chaplain’s corner:
It seems right By Jerroll Martens, Newton Presbyterian Manor chaplain
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man ...” Proverbs 14:12 We have all probably been there. Driving down the road, thinking we are on the right one, only to find out we are the wrong road. Somewhere we missed the right turn. Thinking we are right does not make it so.
Riley Rodriguez, Carrie Lemke and Alanis Bishop are recipients of Presbyterian Manor’s employee education assistance program.
Employees receive education funds Three Newton Presbyterian Manor employees will pursue additional education this fall thanks to awards from the employee education assistance program. Alanis Bishop, CMA; Carrie Lemke, RN; and Riley Rodriguez, activities assistant, each will receive reimbursement for a portion of their school expenses. We asked each about her plans.
When it comes to spiritual matters, we need to be right, not just what seems right to us. Notice our text talks about what seems right to us as human beings. Being human and sinners, we dare not trust our own conclusions.
Alanis Bishop originally considering going into social work. But then she took a closer look at nursing and decided that appealed to her more. Alanis earned her CNA and came to work at Presbyterian Manor in January 2016. Now, she is starting classes at Hutchinson Community College for her LPN certification.
We need to trust someone who always knows what is true, and that
Alanis said once she completes the LPN program, she would like to take a year away from school and then return for her RN.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Alanis said. “Having my LPN will make me be able to go further.”
