This volume is about my experiences as a crisis chaplain. Over the years, I have written simple poetry for family and friends. While preaching in ten countries, I have sent email logs of the day's events. During the COVID-19 crisis, I was encouraged to write a page or two on subjects unrelated to COVID-19 and email it to select hospital staff. Combining these elements, we present Casting Shadows at Midnight: Poetry, Musings, and Writings of a Crisis Chaplain. Many of the poems are written to my Bride of fifty-three years. Some were written while riding with the police and fire departments, and others were generic. In the Musing section, we share thoughts and impressions from multiple crisis scenarios. A sampling of these Musings includes impressions from overseas travels teaching Chaplaincy.
