1913 FATHER JOHN
We did another ‘all nighter’ last
night.
Now- to my old partying buddies-
not that.
I got with Henry yesterday- a street
bro. - and we hit the Half Price book store [his and my favorite spot] bought a
bunch of books- and came back to the Casa.
I BBQ’ed a bunch of stuff [will
post the pics- on Face Book- for those who read these from the Blog].
And we had a good fellowship.
I gave Henry the choice of what
channel he wanted on all night [the guy’s crash in the living room- so whatever
they want to leave on the tube- I set it for them. I would let them choose themselves- but I have
a bunch of remotes- and I don’t want them waking me up ‘John- the TV wont work’
type of thing].
So Henry picked the classic
country- geez- I had no idea?
Okay- at the bookstore we spent
at least an hour- I can spend 2 hours just going thru the books- I have before.
In one of the isles- Catholic
cubby type thing- I met a nice Christian brother.
Sometimes I’ll give my card with
the web site on it- most people at the bookstore are readers [ya think?]
As I offered him my card- he told
me – ‘yes- I am a reader of Christian stuff- I’m a Catholic priest’.
I told father John that’s great-
I have many Catholic readers- and even a few priests/pastors who read my stuff.
We had a really good conversation-
I do dialogue well with priests.
I have studied Catholic theology-
history- the whole 9 yards.
And I told John- if anything- I
get more complaints that I’m ‘too catholic’ than the other way around.
I will try and visit John- he
runs a Catholic retreat here in C.C.- I know the exact spot- it’s a huge
building right off the highway.
It’s a big ‘dome’ type structure-
with a Gold top.
He told me ‘no- it’s not a
mosque’.
For years that’s exactly what I
thought it was.
I will make a visit to father John’s
place- he invited me to do lunch.
Anyway- Henry is still crashed
out on the couch- we will hit the mission a little later- and maybe check up on
John David- my friend in the hospital.
I’m looking forward to him
getting out [he had open heart surgery last week].
I’m going to partner with David
in setting up a halfway house- that’s his dream/calling.
All in all we had a good day- I
will post the pics right after this post.
There are some news stories that
I could cover- but maybe I’ll do that tomorrow.
Enjoy the day- pray for the brothers
I mentioned yesterday- and for all my friends- they do [we all do] need prayer-
thanks.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] -
I have posted lots.
