That's pretty awesome dread! That's just the kind of thing I needed to hear (last few days of this college quarter and anything to keep up my spirits is needed). I wish I could meet that priest! Obviously a very good man!
Dread,
Nice story! Clergy who are true men of faith usually see past rough and complex exteriors to the man/woman underneath (something Grace is, ain't it). I'll stop as I am venturing into religion (forum NO-NO!). BUT, I am glad to hear a story like this spoken with such joy.
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. Benjamin Franklin
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Mark Twain
I have found that many Priests can have a bit of a impish sense of humor. They don't let it be known too often and definately only in company that will truely appreciate it. Of course they don't go to far or make any off color comments, but there are times when they can really let their sense of humor shine, usually striking a cord or making a point that will definately make your day. Glad you met one of those Dread!!
