I am a reporter, & also own a small ranch. This blog was started to give me the opportunity to express things I couldn't in print, especially on spiritual matters. In this way, I neither compromise my journalistic objectivity, nor step on any professional toes.

20040913 :::
24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Matins
On Saturday, J. & I drove down to Wrightsville Beach. It was at her instigation, as I think she both wanted to go on the beach & have a little company. Unfortunately, for her (actually, when I’m at the beach, don’t care what the weather is), it was raining. We had a nice long talk. Apparently, she’s thinking of moving to Chicago, & has been thinking about this for some time. While this was news to me, it wasn’t entirely unexpected…however, I’ll believe it when I see it. After all, she was just down here for an interim period, which has stretched nearly 8 years now.
Speaking of Chicago, my friend Big John actually moved up there this past Thursday. While he’d been talking about it ever since I met him nearly 3 years ago, it was still a bit of a surprise, as (like a lot of folks), we just assumed he’d’ stick around. But he’s really gone. The Monastic meetings won’t be the same without him, but we’ll try to muddle through, although he’s left a good foundation here. Big John was actually there on that blessed day, several years ago, when Josemaria Escriva was canonized in Rome. Wishing him all the best in his new responsibilities.
