While assistant coaching my cross-country team today I found something. Standing in the middle of a park, with only grass and trees around, one would not expect to find anything too terribly interesting. Luckily, if I learned anything from my father, it was how to find things that most people walk right past. So what did I find? A quarter. A bright, shiny quarter simply laying in the grass. How it got there, only God may know... but I found it and that's just the start. What do you think I found as I looked over this quarter? Well, I immediately new, from the buffalo skull on the backside, that is was a Montana state quarter. If you know me at all, you would know that I have a desire to return home, to be closer to my family and friends.
So, do I take this as a sign? Not really. I don't think God gives signs quite like this one, but I still think its cool... and I'm keeping the quarter!
On another note, I added to my work load today. One of my wooooonnnderful students asked me if we could do something at school for the Year of Faith. I figured since I knew nobody else at the school would be doing anything, that it would be up to me. So, I sent out an e-mail to all the faculty and staff at school announcing to them that from now on, every Thursday, during both lunching, I will be holding a discussion/study/learning opportunity focusing on Lumen gentium, Gaudium et spes and the Catechism of the Catholic Church... maybe not in that order though. I know with the Holy Spirits help we can make this a success... I just pray I can at least look like I know what I am talking about.
Peace all!
What "wooooonnnderful" student could that be?!
