Today Bob and I saw a good friend in church. We hadn't seen him in years. The interesting twist is he was the priest.
One of the priests. He was assisting our pastor as a visiting priest. His name is John and he and Bob were stationed together years ago right here on the base. He retired from the Navy after 20 years. He had never been married and after working for a while in the outside world, he "got the call" and decided to become a priest.
He was just ordained not that long ago and his now "stationed" at a church in Rockville, MD--north of us--near DC.
It was very good to see him. We chatted a little bit after Mass. He was surprised to learn that Sarah has been married for 4 years now and that Shawn is 22.
He hopes to come down and visit again soon.
