"a practice" confession

Fr. Chris (Alton IL) took me fishing on Monday. I did the Sacrament of Reconciliation with Fr. Chris on the drive back home...mobile Sacrament...a first for both of us! Angi made us a yummy dinner. After dinner, Fr. Chris also offered the Sacrament of Reconciliation to Paige and Angi. Paige said she had the Sacrament scheduled next week at school, so this could just be "a practice." Fr. Chris smiled and said it would be for real. We all had grace-filled confessions. Thanks be to God!

missing the mountains

Paige is apparently missing the mountains. Yesterday at school, she drew a picture of herself with "Colorado" on her shirt. This morning, I commented on her crazy bed head, and she said, "My hair misses the mountains, so it sticks up." Ha!
