In Waiting

Several of my friends have been giving me a hard time because I have not blogged in a while. There has been a lot going on and my focus was getting out of seminary and getting ready for ordination. Thus a quick rundown on what I have been up to over the last several months.
April: Week in Louisville, KY for the National Catholic Committee on Scouting (NCCS) Biannual meeting where we did some planning for training committee and I also sat down with Fr. Dennis and Tony our committee chairman where we did some initial planning for the coming year. I also went to New York to see the pope and was gone for four days. The last weekend of April I went to Columbus, OH for the ordination to the diaconate of three of my diocesan brothers who will be ordained to the priesthood in a year if all goes well.
May: On May 3, 2008 I graduated from Mundelein with a M.Div. (Magna cum Laude). May 4th I headed home and got back on the 6th. Since being home, I have been sorting through stuff, cleaning, planning the first masses, visiting with family and friends and praying for my upcoming ordination which is just 14 days away! Thus, I have been quite busy but once I get to July I should be able to start blogging again. My next post will be a mid June post reflecting on the ordination weekend. Until then keep praying!
