Recent Notes

It's still weird to see youngish guys at work who think professional business attire includes slacks that are inflatteringly tight, as well as too short, and bright white sneakers.

Sure, no one says you have to dress like Ward Cleaver at the office, but why Pee-Wee Herman?

I'VE BEEN PRAYING TOO HARD -- AND I'M GOING TO STOP!

Seriously.

I have this bad habit of pressing too hard between my rosary beads and it's applying too much pressure at a weird angle to the first joint of my thumb.

My wife just recently had a surgery for "trigger thumb," and I think I'm experiencing some of the same symptoms she did early on. So I don't want to aggravate it.

Time to use the *pad* of my thumb. Gently.

**Prayer request this morning from family friends**

---

So I wanted to write and ask for some very specific prayers. Greta has a pretty serious boyfriend and they are incredibly charitable, kind, and respectful to each other. We have gotten to know his family quite well and we absolutely adore Denver (and they very much adore Greta too). The two kids have started having some pretty serious talks in the last couple days about their faith, religion (he is non-denominational), and Greta has started addressing that she would need to marry and raise children in the Catholic Church. So far, he has been open to saying he just needs to learn more about Catholicism bc he admittedly does not know enough about it and is open to learning. He is interested in attending Mass with her, etc. However, they are still in high school and his parents are therefore obviously involved… so that’s not necessarily as easy as if they were older. Anyway, please just pray for the Holy Spirit to guide their conversations and for God to open his heart to the idea of Greta’s faith. They have some difficult and mature conversations they are planning to address this evening… I’m so hopeful for God’s intervention within these conversations… especially that Greta will be able to articulate what is important to her and why.
