Tonight’s picture is of the sanctuary of the newly updated St. Patrick’s in Noblesville.  Looking at it you would hardly believe it is in a shopping center, but it is.  Its face lift is the product of quite a few people to whom we are all eternally thankful, and it was not just my pleasure to be able to be a part of the unveiling, but also to appoint Father Tony Bender to serve as the new Vicar there……all moments before I went crazy (see my Easter Day post!)

But seeing the picture really lifts my spirits.  Sure, it is not Westminster Abby, but it is pretty dang impressive for what it is.  The people I work and walk among are some very talented people, in addition to their dedication.  The design of all this was the brainchild of my wife, who selected colors and banners and arranged for the help.  It amazes me at what she can envision as clearly her choices of husbands and such show such very poor judgment.  But who I am to be critical of her as I am the largest benefactor.

And Father Tony, my friend of more than 30 years, was so very blessed and thankful…..not just for the opportunity to become the Vicar there, but for the work that was done.

Yet in all of these things I AM THE ONE WHO IS BLESSED.

Sure my brain gives me fits, but life holds and shows me constant blessings.  And for that I am truly thankful.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
