Fuzz Therapy

I have started something with Leah called "Fuzz Therapy. I take something like a Croquet stick (but I take the mallet part off), and start rubbing her with it. I know she thinks it's relaxing. When I do it under the chin, she sticks her chin up, and loves every moment of it =)

Today's sacristy tale

This morning when we got there, there were some school kids getting out  of there cars. I knew I was dead. I went up the wheelchair ramp. I expected the kid to say " Hey you! School's this way!" I thought about saying "I left something in here last school mass." But the kid didn't catch me, I'm outta sight! I went inside, got ready and lit the candles. The third one acted a little funky. So did the fourth one. But they were all good. At the end of mass, Mr. Tim extinguished the candles when he wasn't supposed to (there was a funeral today). But I didn't tell him. Stay tuned

Short sacristy tale

When I was walking to the church, there was a big trash truck coming for the dumpster (there's a dumpster on the parking lot). But I avoided it. So I went in, got ready and lit the candles. I was looking for the crazy looking match but it wasn't there =(. Fr. Joe came in early. As usual. But he wasn't ready when I was done lighting the candles . Lucky me. Stay tuned.

Kinda boring sacrtisty tale

This morning was very not cool. We had gotten to church on time, But Deacon Jack had beat us. And his car was in my dad's favorite parking spot. So Deacon Jack and Miss Paula were talking about how a lot of priests in the diocese were dying. After benediction, I took a match to light the candles. You know the red part on the match that that you scrape on the match box? The red part had a red "thorn" sticking out of the red part! I showed it to Deacon Jack. He liked it. But I didn't light the candle lighter with it =(. I picked another match. During the distribution of communion, Fr. Joe had accidentally dropped the host and I caught it on the paten =)! Stay tuned

I DON'T BELIEVE IT =0!

Check out my friends blog. His pet Bearded Dragon can drive =0!

Very long and kinda boring...

... so prepare your self. So anyway we had to pick up Danny's family cause his mom doesn't like driving to downtown in the dark. So when we got there, Danny and I tried the secret way. But it was locked, so we went in the main entrance. Matt was already there, getting the incense ready. I asked him if he had anything for me to do. He said I could ring the bells and be cross bearer. Danny came in and called acolyte. Matt called acolyte as well. Reverend Jason was there, and called M.C and thurifer. Then another guy came in. He and Matt went in the sanctuary to talk stuff over. When they came back in he asked Daniel (Danny) if he wanted to light the candles with him . Danny agreed and asked the guy his name. The guy's name was Nathan. Nice guy =). So Matt decided that he would take thurifer, Reverend Jason would be M.C, Danny and Nathan would be acolytes and I would ring the bells and be cross bearer . But Nathan thought since he was older then Danny (FYI, the eldest candle bearer has to ring the bells), he was going to ring the bells. But Matt said when we used to do it at the other church the cross bearer has to ring the bells. Well, I'm outta time. Stay tuned.

Ash Wednesday sacristy

We got there early. Really, we did. So it was Fr. Matt today, and he wasn't late! And there was some unusualness...

#1. After the sign of the cross, he forgot to say, "the Lord be with you" and went right into the Collect.

#2. There was no Prayer of the Faithful, and no collcetion.

#3. He used the words of the old translation when offering up the bread.

#4. In  the blessing of the ashes, he pronunced the word "ashes" without the "h" but then corrected himself. lol =P.

Stay tubed. OOPS I MEAN STAY TUNED lol =P.
