ON WHY IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I AM NOT MARRIED

I can't believe (well, actually I can) that I missed MY OWN ANNIVERSARY!  ADAM'S ALE turned eight years old this past February 9th.  Every few months I think about hanging it up.  I am surprised that it has lasted as long as it has.  Just when I start praying and asking God if this project has run its course, something happens - one of you will say something - and I take it as a sign to keep writing.  I do (most of the time) enjoy this little project.  Nothing like combining ministry with a hobby of sorts.  But it wouldn't mean anything without you.  Thank you for reading.

I can't believe your most read post isn't the one about the other priests eating your Value-time cheese curls. That was the funniest thing ever!

Seriously Father, Your Blog is important to me. You have turned on lights in my mind and my heart many times these past few years.

I place you on in the same class
with Fr. Robert Barron.

Thank you Jesus for using Father Valencheck to bring me closer to you.
