Well
Advent has come and gone and so has Christmas, the time flew!
There
was work with single moms, long term retreats, two advent plays to direct at
two different parishes, services, Holy days, Christmas parties, hiking through the woods for a tree to decorate, fending off attacks from bears after chickens and ducks, time with
friends and family and lots of long distance work to do ever since Sandy.
So
keeping a blog updated was the last thing on my mind.
I was going to get to it
today then the plow truck broke down during a blizzard, the tractor snow
thrower broke down next,..only after chomping my hand in the drive chain;
but I
still have all my fingers.
Seems
God is telling us to slow down and make some time to be with him in quiet
prayer, as with the entire season. Avoid distraction of world and refocus our
lives.
Here
is hoping your Christmas was blessed and peaceful.
As
the new year approaches we gear up for many more retreats, already booked, more original
Catholic theater productions in our multi-parish theater ministry, more work
with pro-life organizations, young mothers and the local poor and the food shelf work, etc. Through it all
staying focused on God’s will for the center and putting all trust in him.
