Discernment Frustrations
At the end of last week I scribbled a very short post about my recent discernment efforts. Today I’d like to say something about my discernment frustrations…
Definitely older, maybe even a bit wiser…
As I mentioned in my earlier post, the discernment in my mid-twenties wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience. I tied myself in knots and got extremely frustrated.

Friday Frivolity: Is there a priest on board?
No video this week, just a little joke…
A man ran through a crowded train looking very agitated, calling out, “Is there a Catholic priest on board?”

By now becoming more desparate, he ran down the train shouting, “Is there a Rabbi on board?”
Eventually, a gentleman stood up and said, “Can I be of any assistance, my friend? I’m a Methodist minister”
The man looked at him and said, “No, you’re no good to me! I need a corkscrew!”
