back across the river In this room, today, with this man, I took the step. This has been a great day - great time with Fr. Louis this morning and on into the afternoon. Yep, that's him the Santy Claus lookin' one over there, reeking of wisdom. I'm very grateful that he made the time to hang out with me today and listen, talk and hear my confession.
I was telling Liz when I came back, I really don't know how I could've asked for anything better. We sat in the room there and talked about my story, laughed, talked about the Church, my family, my community and friends. We found people connections we had no idea we had. Very cool. Monasticism, new monasticism, emerging stuff, liturgical prayer, charismatic renewal, we hit on a big list. God really knew what He was doing leading me to this man, this Priest.
And so, after all this time, I had an amazing spiritual direction session and confessed my sins to a man named -- Fr. Louis -- of all things. If you don't get that, I'll explain it later. Very cool thing I didn't even realize until today. A small gift perhaps. I don't know, but I like it anyway. So, now it's time to move forward some more and stop being an invisible "ghost" in the Catholic Church. We'll see what happens from here. Looking forward to keeping in regular touch with the good Father there, I know that. And don't worry about me holing myself up in the "Catholic ghetto" either and not talking to my siblings in other traditions - not planning on anything like that. OK, that's enough for now, Peace.
