Yes, it is true, on December 1, 2007 I will be ordained a transitional deacon. 6 months or so later, I should (God and the People Willing) be ordained a priest. For so long now I have been consciously trying to NOT get excited, as there were hurdles to overcome, committees to meet with etc. But now the invitations are out, the plans are being finalized and it is official: I am VERY excited.
Not being excited reminded me of trying to act very cool when I was younger---you know pretending that nothing was a big deal, taking everything in stride. Well no longer. I am older and I have decided that I can be excited. Now I won't get too excited because that can get annoying really fast, but I will be excited...I am excited. Be excited with me, OK? Several of the youth from St. Paul's have already agreed to help with the service on way or another....I want as many kids and youth there as possible...so mark your calendars for December 1 at 10:30 in the morning, at the Cathedral. Join me, it should be VERY fun!!!!!!!
