Altar Guild and Joplin

We had a great time tonight with St. Luke's Altar Guild coming to our home for dinner. What wonderful servants of Christ's Altar. These are remarkable women who faithfully support this central ministry of our parish. I am honored and blessed to work with them week after week. Wendy Hall concluded her two years as the Directress -- she has been exceptional. They still got home before the storm hit!

I'm glad they got home of course -- and the storm was relatively minor. I cannot help but think about the people in Joplin where things went very wrong. People there were having dinner -- going to WalMart -- enjoying graduation -- all that good and every day stuff of life -- then comes Hell -- that lasts and lasts. Life can be so unfair.

A fun and safe night for us -- continued pain and struggle in Joplin and other stricken places and people. May God help us all -- but especially those who are suffer.
