I'm a little afraid to tell them about though you see...because...well....we HAVE a barn and I can just SEE those wheels already turning in their minds of how they could convert it to this great play place like the one on John's blog, ha ha ha ha!<br />God bless you and your friends as you walk this journey of discernment...I heard a priest say once (regarding Celibacy) that it isn't a "cup half empty" with priests spending their lives thinking of the part that's "missing" or that they "gave up"...but rather...it is a cup so FILLED TO OVERFLOWING ALREADY...that there isn't ROOM for more.<br />I liked that and thought you might too.Judy Dudichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075072259006322851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175290490059507944.post-84325533396138814542009-11-09T09:17:29.288-08:002009-11-09T09:17:29.288-08:00John, I really enjoyed this post and found it help...John, I really enjoyed this post and found it helpful. My own priest told me that only when you are ordained a deacon/priest will you feel the strength and bond of love between you and your people.
