Sharon I had to pay $65 ransom to UPS on my habit EVEN THOUGH it had an enormous exemption sticker on it for “religious vestments.” The whole thing is shambolic.

It’s also not good when the same federal judge reminds you repeatedly that you are an officer of the court, during said Sunday night hearing

I blessed a semi truck once. We got a delivery at the church, and the drivers were excited about their new rig. Asked if I’d pray for them and their truck. So I got out the holy water and did the whole bit.

I blessed a car once and the (now former) director of the Barth Center at PTS said it was “the terrifying final result of sacramentality.”

We had a big crowd today! There was a little inter-dog drama, and a puppy decided my sleeve tasted good. But it was a lovely morning.

Yeah, as someone who is fairly grey headed, I hate these kind of comparisons. Every woman in my family went grey early and I’ve given up on color because of swimming.
