Who'd A Thought!

Today, I am a priest 37 years.  My friends in San Francisco gave me three weeks to three months after I left the Brokerage business, before I would be out of the seminary and back in San Francisco partying and playing.  They had cause for doubts.  I had rough patches, long patches in which I was a jerk, with self-will run riot.  It is all Grace.  I have survived myself, my silliness, and obtuseness.  I don't think God is finished with me.  Surprises are still to come.

    Congratulations!
    It is truly a miracle to survive ourselves, and come into a Purpose in spite of ourselves...
    You have done much good that I am aware of, and much more that none of us are.
