Spent the afternoon working in the rectory, pulling up carpet and preparing to put in a new floor. Listened to a lot of Chris Stapleton and thought I’d share a few thoughts on my favorite songs by him.

Some thoughts on recent interactions with brother priests, reflections of the storms of life and a challenge for fathers and men of society.

I am on my yearly priest retreat and just wanted to share a few candid thoughts on the fraternity among my brother priest. I’m humbled and filled with joy and gratitude for them. They all have generous, shepherd-hearts and inspire me to be more like Christ. Also, a few thoughts on how amazing our youth were last week at the county fair and why I believe they truly did a stellar job.

Thoughts on the Holy Trinity and 5 years of priesthood.

The door fell off of my refrigerator. It made me very mad. Also, a few thoughts about priestly celibacy and the joy in it!

In this episode, I talk about three of my good buddies and how they make fun of me for using an easy bake oven. It’s ok. I’ve embraced it. They respect me more for that reason.
