Well, I just got done with the busiest 2 months I can every remember. We had our baby; Did our fall promotion (new print image, as well as radio ads); Launched our new website; Started our new Saturday Night service; and I was teaching and travelling a little bit. Crazy. I am so glad to be done. I have to teach this weekend, but then I not teaching at all for a month. Very nice. I am looking forward to chilling out a bit. And, of course, getting back into blogging.

Well, I have to say I am impressed. We have a thinking group of people around Riverview.
At least 20 (I have lost count ) people have pointed out a big inconsistency in my message Saturday Night (if you came on Sunday, I had it fixed by then). Basically, on the heals of a comment about how we should not make sweeping statements vilifying those outside of the church, I did that very thing! I made a comment about Stalin being a good communist because he did “what communists do” when he killed 20 million of his own people. Oops. Rest assured, I will clear this up next Saturday. It just goes to show you how easy it is to make those type of statements, even in the same breath where we say we shouldn’t. Thanks to everyone who caught me on this!

Sep 9, 2003 Uncategorized
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Chicago. I flew out yesterday at 6pm and ended up at the wrong hotel by the wrong airport (long story). The cool thing is I met a guy who was in the same boat as me and we shared a cab over to the other side of town. We ended up having a great spiritual conversation. He is Catholic, with a family that comes from Venezuala. He shared with me how his faith is so rooted in familial tradition and that one of the reasons he is so devout is “because my grandfather would be proud.” It really got me thinking of two things. The first is that I want to pass on a legacy of faith to my kids and grandkids (someday). But I also thought about that fact that I hope that they will own it because they have deep personal convictions and have been called by Christ individually. Anyhoo, this guy also taught me some good things about the Catholic faith as he shared his story and his thoughts on the current state of the Catholic church.
And now I am home again. Weird…24 hours ago on the nose I was flying out of town and here I am, sitting at my table in my dining room…
