Birthdays

This Sunday was my birthday. In some ways it was a depressing birthday. I didn't receive very many cards, something that wouldn't never have happened in my previous assignments. And I didn't get to hang out with old friends as can happen surrounding birthdays. But, I couldn't help but be grateful to be assisting a great pastor in a great assignment. God bless the Cyclones. God bless this parish. And God bless the Archbishop for assigning me here.
