Today Deacons Morgan and Conley, as well as Father Hicks and myself, went up to Christ the King in Kokomo and finished up most of the painting. It was an all day job, but clearly professional painters we are not! But we do a good job, we have a great time, and in the end the walls look quite a bit better. It is a labor of love, and a tangible thing that we get to do in a vocation that has very few tangible things.

Of course we were all exhausted and covered with paint. Fortunately however, most of the paint got onto the walls. It was a big transformation too. We have some incredible guys on our staff that do some incredible work!

BUT, clearly working all those hours straight is a good path to an early grave! At least it feels that way! I will be fine I am sure…..but it is a young man’s work, at least that long. Thank God that my bed is only a few keystrokes away!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
