Today is of course Good Friday, the day upon which Jesus was crucified. In His one obedient and loving act, He offered up His life for the sins of the entire world. No greater act of love has ever been exhibited….no greater love has ever been known.

Holy Thursday……..
Gosh, I would have loved to post this this morning BEFORE the day began, but it was just not meant to be. I left home early and arrived home late, and there has been not rest in between. The MOVE has been completed, but the final touches on everything are yet to be done.
A big change in plans means a big change in plans……
Sometimes days just do not go as planned, and today was the poster child for that saying. I had every intention to be heading over to the current two St. Patrick’s in an effort to take some time to convert them to just one (remember we are moving from one location to another), BUT some upcoming work travel, kids, lacrosse, global warming, Bigfoot, and whatever else I can think of, made those best laid plans absolutely impossible. I clearly am the wrong kind of doctor to deal with this location schizophrenia. I didn’t even leave my office and head that way till just before 3.
There goes the neighborhood…..
We are in the process of moving our Church in Westfield (St. Patrick’s) back into Noblesville and into a much larger facility. Sure, there are far better times other than Holy Week to accomplish such tasks, but as the guys who work with me say…..”sometimes we just like to do things the hard way.”
I’m learning…….
Sometimes talking with Ben is like trying to reason with a three-year-old, but since he is three I guess I should not be surprised. I just often wish he understood more than he does.
Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday, the day the Church celebrates the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that people cheered and through garments and branches of palm along His way.
A lot 2 dew……
Well today has been interesting day….
My 1000th post……
Yep, it’s a mile marker I suppose, my 1000th post to this blog…..and it could not come on a worse day. My day ended on the lacrosse field where we played #1 Carmel tonight at Carmel. We were missing SIX starters, which I shared with them at the beginning of game, yet after calling a time out with just three minutes left in the first half, they began to run up the score….and not in anything even close to an ethical or sportsman-type way. I complained twice within that last three minutes, but they just kept at it. SIX goals in less than 3 minutes. It made me sick.
Happy Birthday or Anniversary to me!
I grew up in an era and a place where it was customary to spank someone on their birthday. And after tonight’s thrashing of my team by the Hamilton Southeastern Bulldogs I was wondering if it really was my birthday after all. You do not play well every game, and tonight that was certainly the case. But in a week that we play 4 top 10 teams in a row with just Sunday off, and tonight being the easiest of those games, it seems we need to adjust and adjust quickly.
Tree-ed off……
No, not really, but I am still behind. I do hope however to catch up by week’s end. What that means however, I do not know. As clergy, I am never quite sure how to define the week. Biblically, the week’s end is Sunday….a day of “rest,”…….right!
