In my memorabilia I discovered a memory book of pictures and quotes from fellow 8th graders in my book. I also discovered that I had written in my vital statistics. I had a 28 inch waist. What happened! On another page I saw listed the three things I wanted to be when I grew up. The first choice was “PRIEST.” What! I don’t remember writing that when I was 14. I have at times thought that God took me on only because I was not much good or successful at anything else. but now I realize that it was my destiny. I am what I am suppose to be. God has been after me for a long time. But maybe all my drifting here and there, my life-time friends, different road experiences, were all part of a blessing to make me a better priest. So don’t beat yourself up about “wasting time,” because it might have been all those experiences that gave you the depth to do more fully, your destiny.
