A Parish Mission.

I just landed a Lenten mission for Saint Patrick's Church, Columbus for the week before Saint Patrick's Day.  I think a good thing to do would be to emphasize Saint Patrick's role as the one who brought the Gospel to the Irish people.  One thing to do would be to emphasize the difference between a life of faith and a life of ethics.  Pagans can have ethics; only Christians can have conscious faith.  Time to work on the sacraments of initiation.March 11 through 16 .

Check the sugar...

It really helps me to read my health contract every so often - there are little things I forget.  I should be checking my blood sugar every morning.  I confess I have not been doing that daily, although I do so regularly.  Every time I have in fact checked, the numbers have been perfect.   I should, however, be checking more frequently.  We will see.
