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!
On the cusp……
With lacrosse season in full swing, my life will not be my own till the end of May. Practices and games, games and practices, it will seem like there is no break till the end. Last year at this point we were nursing a lot of injury. This year, though it exists, it is much less severe than the last.
Woof….
Yep, I would say she missed us. When the cat climbs into Scotty’s un-unpacked suitcase, it is a clear sign she intends to not let us leave again. And of course the dog’s return this morning was like a scene from a movie. I would love to think it is me that they miss, but quite honestly I do not think I am on the radar. Maybe in time I will work myself back up in the rankings…..you can’t always have a great year.
All good things must come to an end…..
Yep, we finally left Stephanie and Missouri behind today and I am typing this from my office at home in Indiana. It is so hard to say goodbye, and each time it doesn’t seem easier, but harder. Steph has a great life in Missouri and WONDERFUL friends. That is good too, since her friends in high school were wonderful too. But I just do not like having to miss her so much.
