Today I am ordained 38 years. Who would have thought? When I left San Francisco to go East to join the Paulist Fathers, some of my friends gave me three weeks to three months. At times, I thought they may be right and I might be crazy. Though I am crazy, they were wrong. I guess God does not mind crazy. With Grace one can grow out of crazy, or at least keep it at bay. Here in San Francisco I will have dinner with three of my classmates. They are each more talented than I am, but it is amazing to me how much good can be done by ordinariness with a good attitude. I have given up on being talented but hold onto gratefulness.

Congrats for your 38th year as a great priest. Boulder needs you back. Maybe too much time in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteNot enough time in SF
DeleteI remember the night at Big Sur when you announced to the group of your plans and I admit, I was one of the doubters. Congratulations on your anniversary and proving me wrong!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember. I was a "project" as we say in sports.
