conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

Don't lose any opportunity, however small, of being gentle toward everyone. Don't rely on your own efforts to succeed in your various undertakings, but only on God's help. Then rest in his care of you, confident that he will do what is best for you, provided that you will, for your part, work diligently but gently. I say "gently" because a tense diligence is harmful both to our heart and to our task and is not really diligence, but rather over eagerness and anxiety...I recommend you to God's mercy. I beg him, through that same mercy, to fill you with his love. - Francis de Sales

off to get someone hitched

Trish and I leave tomorrow to visit Virginia. My uncle, Joe, is getting married. I am presiding. I am honored and not just a little nervous. No one in my family has seen me in a pastoral role...unless you count ordination.

Really.

It should be an adventure. I am especially interested in how my dad will react seeing me in a collar.

Hmm.

He probably won't. Heh.
