if only we could get some rain. Things are so dry. The sky teases us and then the dark clouds disappear.
But is has been rally wonderful with the cooler temperatures. And I am grateful for it all.
Vernon celebrated his reception into the Roman Catholic church Satyrday past in his Confirmation and First Communion. Amy and Max (Vernon's sponsors) stood proudly at his back as he made his Profession of Faith and was sealed with the Holy Spirit. Yes, I was crying with joy. I don't think Vernon could have been happier. He is so thrilled to be a part of a community where people do for others just for the joy of it and love of fellow man. My Mom and his Dad were there and helped us celebrate.
It has been a wonderful journey for our whole family to accompany Vernon on his faith journey. And if you know Vernon, he in involved 110%. His next goal in the Church is to become a knight in the Knights of Columbus organization. I asked him what he wanted for his Confirmation and I was expecting something like "a crucufix" or " a new missal" but what I got was "a kneeler for at home". I told him I don't think we are that Catholic.
What do you all think? Are we that "Catholic"?
