Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Thank you to John Coff for his wonderful stewardship reflection on, "What St. Francis means to me," from this past Sunday. . .

When Mark approached me to deliver the stewardship reflection, my first thought was that it must have been an error. He must have meant to ask my wife, Dawn. Dawn is in charge of all the spiritual and altruistic matters in our household. I am more of a handle-the-finances and cut-the-grass sort of guy. 

My second thought was flattery, as I have never felt like I was part of a church in my adult life. I was raised Catholic, received all the sacraments, went to a Catholic High School and a Jesuit University. I learned about the history of the church and did a fair share of Bible study for classes. But religion never really resonated with me beyond being a great historical story. The Holy Spirit was an elusive concept to me. I would go through the motions of going to church but eventually stopped attending as I was not getting anything out of it.
