Interesting; learned something new. Never seen such an animal.

Actually, that is where we stand in the choir. I was one of a number of people who read from the Psalms. This wasn't during the Liturgy, so I guess it is acceptable. Maybe Fr. Matt can clarify. Remember, I'm now a newbie!

You’re funny. You have no idea what my days are like!

My wife works out of town. I do EVERYTHING! I rarely sit down and you notice I don’t post on here a fraction of my former years. Between health, work, family, church, pets with illness, I’m 10000% overwhelmed. My mom was just telling me she’s worried about how overwrought I am.

I wish I had a picture of the moment the oil of chrism was placed on my forehead. It has been a very intense and very beautiful week for me, to be culminated as we celebrate Christ's glorious Resurrection tonight.

Yes, Fr. Matt, all in God's time and because it is all in God's time, it is both good and I believe I am where I should be in order to share the gifts God has given me with this congregation.

Thanks to all who held me up in prayer while I was looking to enter the Church.

Welcome home!
