Tempus Fugit

As the title implies,  Time is a-waisting.  I made a New Year's resolution to post more often, and yet here we are, February 15th and no new posts yet this year.  I'm going to try and keep this more active by focusing on the areas where I see God at work in my life or in the lives of those around me as I continue to discern a vocation to the Permanent Diaconate.  

Incidentally, I found out that the new class will not start until as early as Spring of 2016.  This in particular I found a little hard to take, as I had my hopes built up that I might be able to apply this winter.  As in now.  Sigh.  God's time is not my time.

Around the parish, I am still in my role of Pastoral Council President, and I had been looking forward to rolling back my involvement in the Parish as the potential of involvement in the Diaconate proceeds.  I have recently concluded an introduction to the Neocatechumenal Way,  become involved in Deliverance Ministry, as well as helping out our First Annual Diocesan Men's Conference in a very limited way.  And since the Diaconate progaram has been pushed off for another year, a good friend invited me to a Weekend silent Retreat at the Opus Dei headquarters in New York.  I'm particularly looking forward to that.

I'll have updates on all this and more in the upcoming posts.  I want to try and keep it light so I stay motivated to carve out some of my very busy time to blog about my progress down this very bumpy road.
