Believe, Teach, Practice

The buzz is just starting to wear off, but just a little. Father let me off the hook for preaching at my first Mass. He figured I had enough to worry about, but left me the option, and I was glad to exercise it. This let me concentrate on the other details, like remembering new places to stand, things to say, and all the rest. It was wonderful, also, to have two of my sons up there as servers. There was a nice reception afterward and a smaller dinner of family and close friends later that night. Just beautiful, end to end.

My oldest daughter is a professional photographer and got some great pictures throughout; I’ll post a few as soon as I can.
