Today, and over the next two days if there is no crisis that overtakes us, I am and will be proctoring the priesthood exams for both Deacon PT Morgan and Deacon Dan Conley. They I am sure will both do fine, but they are worried about it. They have been studying for the better art of four years, sadly mostly under me! But the good Father Dave Terwilliger also had a strong hand in their training, especially at the beginning, so when they fail I will just blame it on him!! No no no….he gave them a good foundation. They are well on their way!

Of course times like these make me miss Dave, not just because if he were here we would have had them taking these exams a lot sooner, but also because he really would enjoy proctoring this exam! PT and Dan will make fine priests, and there are so many great guys who have helped to get them to this point. We all have worked hard. It has never been about us though, nor has it been for Dan and PT about them either. It has always been about Christ and serving Him…….a truly noble cause.

You may find the picture odd, but I was surprised at how hard it is to find a picture searching for nobility. But Ben has been watching Shrek 2 and Puss in Boots really embodies the noble cause. And considering my personality, I thought it was quite appropriate as well. Tomorrow I may post the Penguins of Madagascar, since our staff kind of resembles them…..but for tonight Puss will have to do!

Pray for Dan and PT. PT took the lion’s share of his today and Dan will tomorrow. Thursday they will finish up, not together, but in the same place. Then, hopefully some poor reader will have mercy on their submitted works! No no no….I am certain they will do fine!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
