What a life! And it is mine, as a Priest of Jesus Christ!

On Monday I turned 30 ...and, to my surprise, it doesn't feel all that weird! Over this past week I've reflected on the decade that I just completed...because honestly, how much reflection could I do on the ages of 10-19. (I could, but I wasn't that much  of a reflective person when I turned 20!) I can remember beginning my 20's by spending the day working at McD's then having some friends over for pizza, cake and ice cream later that night...At the time I had recently became a CORE Member with Stoughton Life Teen, and although I thought I had a deep faith in high school, I was realizing that I still had MUCH more room to grow in my relationship with Christ.  I won't recount the whole decade, only some highlights! Soon after I turned 21 I left Stoughton Life Teen to help begin Bridgewater Life Teen, and within a few months I was the Youth Minister. I would remain there for almost 5 years until I entered seminary! I started as youth minister during my senio...

Well...Second Theology is officially in the books!!!  Let us pray: Gratias agimus tibi, Domine, pro universis beneficiis tuis, qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculórum. Amen. *** We give thee thanks, almighty God, for all your benefits, who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen. Tomorrow I will go home for the first { extended } time in two years!!! Although my mind is all over the place now with everything I have to get done before I leave tomorrow, I did want to give a brief update to my many followers :-P Since classes ended the last week of May and we switched to our "house final schedule", I have been reflecting a lot upon my two years in the Eternal City. I've taken a look at where I've grown, where I still would like to grow, and pretty much just thought about everything that's happened over the past two years. There is a short sentence that expresses the past two years very well from my perspective: God is SO good! ...
